OT-I'm probably in the same boat; the first time with FOTR, I was comparing and contrasting with the book, how I imagined persons, places with the way they were being portrayed. The second time I set back and just enjoyed the flow of the story. In TTT, was really shifting gears a lot again, even though I knew more about the changes. It still was a breath-taking experience. The next time, and that will be quite soon, I'll kick back and watch the whole screen. Third time,well thats when I go for the details I thought I saw the first and second time. After all, inquiring minds need to know

Was the cross section of the longbows of the Gondor rangers round or flat?

When did Aragorn stop carrying his short bow and quiver?

Were the woodland elve's bows a composite recurve with conventional nocks or sinyahs?

Anyone noticing a theme here? Yes, I do follow the sticks and string stuff pretty closely, or obsesively some may say.

BTW Hair: did you catch the Rohan bowman in the night fight with the U-H, rode from left screen to right, fired one arrow and turned in the saddle and fired another back at the U-H, at least I think so. If so, good riding and good shooting.

Yes, I saw that one, and I tried to notice all the good riding and shooting! There was a lot of both! - was sad to find that some of the stills I have seen of Legolas riding and shooting either happen much too fast to sit back and gawk at, or were cut! Crime! Murder!
