I think Galadriel's ring was associated with water. I think its name was Nenya.

BTW, I got the semi-precious! hee hee.

Time for me to head out. Gotta grab my dog and my fiddle and head over to Dad's house to play some music!

Fiona gets to play with her brother, so she likes these nights, too. PLUS she gets to ride in the CAR! BONUS!

The movie showed the ringbearers at the beginning

I'm pretty sure they were Cirdan (old guy with long white hair), Gil-Galad (younger guy with a circlet on his forehead) and Galadriel. Which was true to the books! :)

I need to watch it again. Maybe when I get home tonight! I KNOW it showed Galadriel, but the other faces are foggy in my memory. But that HAS to be it, unless they changed from the books.

I think Elrond was one of the most weakly cast individuals in the whole movie and is worthy of being bashed mercilessly, curly toenails and all....

Legolas, on the other hand, was one of the best cast and I will never bash him...

So, for me, it depends on the elf. Some are worthy of bashing....others are worthy of respect and admiration.

I'm sorry if that complicates things....

Elrond had a sword, but there was a guy with a spear standing with Elendil, facing Sauron. They both get killed, then Isildur picks up the hilt of his father's broken sword and whacks Sauron...

Gil-Galad meant "Bright Spear", IIRC.

I thought that was Earendil (sp?) But I'm not sure....if it's Gil Galad that's cool too....

I think Galadriel's ring was associated with water. I think its name was Nenya.

And then there was the fourth ring, Enya. It had power over wind chimes. Not a very powerful ring really, but it was beautiful to listen to.

I think you're right about Galadriel's ring... I don't remember if anything was ever said about Elrond's ring.

Nice catch by the way! :)

It does complicate things! - Look! - You are either with us, or you are with the elf-bashers!

The names can get confusing after a while... I think I feel the need to watch the movie again! :)

I cannot be an elf basher when I see this guy on my side.... This is an elf to respect, and admire, and be thankful for....

Me too! And read the books again and again. (Right now I'm re-reading the Silmarillion and I'm just in that section about the building of Gondolin....)
