Where HAS g'nad been, anyway? Did he say goodbye, or just abandon us? He left us allll aloooone!

or we could just bash some elves...

I really shouldn't drop to that level but...I've been watching the movie again (in small doses as I have time). Last night I got to the part where Elrond does his little speech about Frodo having shown extraordinary resilience to the Ring's evil, in a kind of slimey voice - basically saying, "So...he's carried it THIS far - we might as well just let him KEEP carrying it." Creep. He's right, it SHOULD have "ended that day", but he was too much of a sissy to DO anything other than yell and stamp his pointy shoed foot.

I just feel bad for Frodo or I wouldn't be bashing. Really. But I discussed this with a couple o' my siblings and they agreed in spite of being major elf fans, so I guess it's OK to feel the way I do?

[RosieCotton]

OK, I admit...that felt good...

He told us he'd be gone most of this week. I think he may be back tomorrow.

Elves are weak...

[HairOfTheDog]

No! It is not OK to feel the way you do!

Elrond did not dictate that Frodo should continue to carry the ring! - Only observed correctly that he had so far shown more resistance to it than some MEN he knew would. He decided to hold the council so that all could decide...

Hopefully Frodo would volunteer, but would not have sent him alone! Gandalf was hinting that the ring could stay in Rivendell, and Elrond was stating only that it could not. The elves did not have the power to withstand both Mordor and Isengard. No... another solution must be found!
