Top 10 things on Aragorn's Christmas wish list
10. A new sheath--the sword-that-was-broken is a whole lot bigger in one
piece!
9. A new chain for the Evenstar--well, look at his neck.
8. New boots--he wasn't called 'Strider' for nothing!
7. An electric shaver--'nough said.
6. A comb--uh.....
5. A telescope--you know, having Legolas doing all the sight-seeing is
kind of annoying!
4. New shoes for Brego--Strider's horse . . . okay, we get it!
3. A gardener--just in case that White Tree decides to take a turn for the
worse . . .again.
2. Someone who can script conversations between him and Elrond better!
And the number one thing on Aragorn's Christams Wish List......
Arwen
Alternate Endings for LOTR
(In no particular order, with varying levels of wit. :-)
What shall the tenth one be...?
1. Faramir marries Ioreth and settles down to raise their 13 talkative children of quality. Sam Gamgee stays with them in Ithilien to do their gardening, acting as bodyguard for the children.
2. The Travellers are arrested by Will Whitfoot for impersonation of authorities and slapped into the Lockholes where they live out their days playing checkers and writing long, strange tales about The Outside.
3. Arwen finally agrees with Elrond that she shouldn't marry a mortal, so she marries Legolas instead and explores Fangorn Forest with him. This arrangement allows Gimli to go back to the Lonely Mountain in peace, which he does.
4. The eagles pick up the two wanderers in time, but continue on East and eventually drop them off in Far Harad. After mourning Sam's apparent loss, Rose Cotton marries Meriadoc and brings about extensive overpopulation at Brandy Hall.
5. Eomer, not wanting to see her worn out with use and old age, refuses to give permission for Eowyn to wed and instead promotes her to Head Marshall for the Mark, where she serves happily for the rest of her days.
6. Saruman and Grima repent of their wicked ways and are welcomed into the mixed community of Bree where they vastly improve Butterbur's ale-brewing techniques and double the crop of pipeweed with improved agricultural tools.
7. Pippin and Merry continue to grow, eventually surpassing even the hobbit basketball teams. Frustrated by how much their extra-extra-large hats now cost, they migrate to Gondor early and leave Sam (also called "shorty") in charge of the new United Farthings For the Dwellings and Agriculture of the Shire. (UFFDAS).
8. Gandalf and Tom Bombadil decide to collaborate on ruling Middle Earth together now that the Elves and Sauron are finally out of the way.
9. Denethor, being deceased but having missed out on the whole Stone of Erech routine, hangs around Minas Tirith and has spectral converses with Aragorn. The King, seeing some advantage to the situation then employs him in international subterfuge as an invisible spy.
10. (you fill one in)
After destroying the Ring, Frodo decides to shaft Aragorn and becomes King of Gondor himself, marrying Arwen who is delighted despite the fact that Frodo has prettier eyes that she does. They have a large family and keep Aragorn on as a nanny, due to his ability to pre-chew food for the little ones!
Legolas and Gimli go back to their homes and pursade their folk to come back into Middle earth and take over while the Men are still few in number. Legolas becomes King of the Reunited Kingdoms of Elves and Men and Gimli becomes his strong-arm sidekick.
Aragorn lets him have the crown and elopes with Arwen to Rhun, taking along the hobbits to work in the vinyards.
Eomer moves to the Shire and marries Rosie, cause he actually doesn't like horses very much.
Bilbo gets tired of waiting and steals Elrond's ring, using it to hail a passing Eagle, with whom he explores the rest of Middle earth, dropping in on his cousins occasionally for a bottle of wine and to get more ink and parchment for his aireal maps.

Top ten things I hate about PJ's version of ROTK.
10. I can't decide my favorite part.
9. I can't step into the screen and be part of it.
8. I can't afford to spend every waking hour watching it.
7. There are all these other people in my way when I try to see it.
6. I'm a 38 year old man and if I keep crying like a baby I'm going to get beat up one of these times.
5. It consumes me. I can't sleep, I can't eat or drink (for fear of needing to go to the bathroom), so its kind of like the One Ring.
4. I also have borderline high blood pressure. This movie really should have one of those warning signs like a roller coaster for the highs and lows you hit!
3. Too much cool stuff for my tiny brain to process.
2. I have spent my whole life in Chicago, its unfair to make me long again for a comfy hobbit-hole in the Shire, or at least New Zealand.
and the number one thing I hate about PJ's version is...
1. it ends.

10 Scenes We're Glad We Didn't See in ROTK
1.Sam sitting upon the rock, cuddling a curly hairball. He looks up at the Eagles and Gandalf. "I'm sorry Mr. Gandalf sir - he slipped and all I could manage to grab was his wig here."
2. Ethereal Arwen dashing about the Pelennor Fields kissing the wounded back to life and Aragorn whether he needs it at the moment or not. "Agh - get away! No, I am *not* hurt! Look, honey, you make a great door but a rotten window... I have *enough* grace of the Valar for pity's sake!"
3. The Dead bursting into song and dance to celebrate Aragorn's offer.
4. Peter Jackson's children as cute, wide-eyed green Weta zombies.
5. A flashback to Shelob's youth, showing how she became the way she was and ending with a heart-rending shot of her succumbing to a bowl of kitty-treats from Sauron.
6. Faramir's amusing flashback of all the times he succeeded in put tacks on Denethor's throne.
7. About every ten minutes, additional "Oh no, (character) is dead! No he isn't!" moments.
8. Pippin and Merry roasting apples over the flaming palantir.
9. Legolas single-handedly wiping out all the enemies at the Black Gate right before he shoots an arrow into the foundation of Barad-Dur, knocking out a brick and bringing it all down. (Gimli: That still only counts as one!)
10. Gollum's remorseful repentance and lauded heroism after he knocks Sam and Frodo off the edge, and the tearful scene in which Deagol's ghost grants his forgiveness at last.

Ten Things Frodo Might have Heard, But Didn't
Gandalf: What, it's cursed and needs to be destroyed? I can't take it myself, but I'd be glad to put it in a bag and send it off with an Eagle for you.
Boromir: Boy, the Ring you have is sure calling to me. How about I go ahead as a scout or something so I'm not so close to it?
Aragorn: Forget Merry and Pippin - the way those hobbit families are, there'll be plenty more Tooks and Brandybucks were they came from, but there's only one Ringbearer!
Gollum: Sssso sssorry we are, yes yes, sorry we bothered you. The preciousss is yours, fair and sssquare.
Faramir: The Ring...will go to Gondor. Wait, was that my "out loud" voice?
Sam: Sorry Mr. Frodo, this is my water-bottle, remember?
Pippin: Elrond's right, I'm too young for something like this. See you when you get back!
Tom Bombadil: For going on a dangerous quest, Ol' Tom he is the Master, and Tom he is a-doing it 'cause Tom, his feet are faster!
Galadriel: I think your quest is very, very, very important. I'll send along a contingent of my best Elves to help you along the way and shoot, I might even come along myself!
The Eye: *blink blink* Oh, nevermind. It's just a hobbit. Carry on.
Gandalf: What, it's cursed and needs to be destroyed? I can't take it myself, but I'd be glad to put it in a bag and send it off with an Eagle for you.
Boromir: Boy, the Ring you have is sure calling to me. How about I go ahead as a scout or something so I'm not so close to it?
Aragorn: Forget Merry and Pippin - the way those hobbit families are, there'll be plenty more Tooks and Brandybucks were they came from, but there's only one Ringbearer!
