Ok, I know we do a million of these on the board, but I just wanted to share my favorite and most heartbreaking moments of TTT. (In no particular order)
1. Upon hearing that the Uruks smell “man flesh”, Pippin murmurs “Aragorn” and a ray of hope lights up his face.
2. Gimli, muttering that Dwarves are wasted on distance, they are natural sprinters.
3. Theoden weeping over Theodred’s grave
4. Haldir’s awkward return hug and little smile as Aragorn embraces him at Helms Deep.
5. The Ent on fire running into the unleashed river and dipping himself in it.
6. The look of helpless resignation on Frodo’s face as he offers himself up for sacrifice to the ring and the Nazgul who would take it from him.
7. “Its your Sam - Don’t you know your Sam?”
8. The single tear sliding down Grima’s face as he beholds the army of Uruk-Hai.
9. “Forth Eorlingas!”
10. Arwen in despair at Aragorn’s side in death.
11. Legolas flipping onto Gimli’s horse during the Warg attack AND sliding down the wall of Helm’s Deep on a orc shield, shooting all the way. Elves Rule!
12. “There won’t BE a shire, Pippin.”
13. “I’ll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!”
14. “Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!!”
15. In the forest, at the end…Frodo’s face when he says ”I want to hear more about Sam; Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam.” And Sam's face when he says to himself, “Samwise the Brave.”
