He was supposed to keep his mouth shut.... and next thing we know... he has spilled it about Boromir, and sworn an oath to the wrong party!
Watching it now... between naps! ecurbh is out cold. We watched all the features first though, and there is some new stuff in the features. I hadn't seen the Nat Geographic special narrated by JRD. It compares the characters to history, and is interesting! And a couple 'making of' features that had new stuff, but repeat each other a little.
Got my LotR, and am starting with the extras disc.
And managed to charm the socks off the both of them...at least in the book!!! I really think Gandalf had Pippin's 'career' all planned out before they even set out from Hobbiton. I have this image in my mind of Paladin calling for a meeting with Gandalf and saying "look here, old chap, I know you used to take my grandpa out on trips and it always caused a big ruckus in our family, but see, my son, Peregrin, is the most coddled babe in the shire, what with three big sisters who dote on him, and I really think he needs some..well, pushing along, don't you know? He spends all his time drinking and visiting and having fun, but he's my only heir, Gandalf, and the Tooks need someone...*serious*. Can you take him somewhere where he can learn what it means to be a thain?"
And Gandalf just smiles and nods.
