I don't like the fact that there is (so it seems) a one-sided attraction from Legolas to Tauriel. I like that she's a very different she-elf compared to Galadriel and Arwen (plus the whole thing about the Silvan Elves being less wise and more dangerous). However, Evangeline Lilly's comment about Tauriel lacking self-control is worrying me (Captain of the Guard, anybody?). I still don't know. For now, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'll be watching her with two eyes as long as I can spare them.
Oh yes it was a very great trailer 😀 and a very great event ^.^
@Ariel I don't know about one sided romance between Tauriel and Legolas because she was asking Thranduil if he would not allow Legolas to pledge himself to her. So I am thinking she has to share his feelings for her to be concerned about it.
Yes I am giving Tauriel the benefit of the doubt I just hope she doesn't make me regret doing so. I found her comment comparing herself to Tinkerbell very odd and too cutesy (she could have chosen a better example 😛 ) Oh and Ariel I find it very funny that your story of Tauriel's background is very similar to what her background really is. EL claims that Tauriel is an orphan whose parents were killed by orcs, and that is the reason she became a ruthless killer and why she feels it is her duty no matter who is involved, to stop the growing evil.
@Ariel: But-but-but... it has to be one-sided somewhere... 'cause PJ promised she wouldn't be a love interest for Legolas....
Yeah, about Tink.... I really don't know what to think of that. I hate Tink. 🙂
Ooh, really? That's fun. Even though I'm sure that I made her a much sweeter little she-elf in her past than PJ and EL mean her to be. 😛
My friend's Hobbit fanvideo made it into the semifinals!!! 😀

That's awesome Ariel! 😀 I hope she'll win. ^.^
I hope so too. 😀 She doesn't really care herself; the only reward she really cared about was the satisfaction of finishing something like that. Of course, she's still beaming all over herself at being in the semifinals (and you should have seen her face when I reminded her that that meant that she gets a prize, even if she's not the chosen winner. 😀
Wow! That's great

So this thread has been so quiet lately and DoS is coming out in 3-4 days!?!
Is everyone excited!! 😀
I am! I probably won't get to see it until Monday, though. 🙁
😀 😀 😀
Awww that's too bad 🙁
My elf ears are coming in the mail today or so, I can't wait!!!!! 😀
*is pumped for the midnight showing* But I currently have to stem the tide of my excitement a bit till I get some really important stuffs done. 🙂
However, I did try out an item from the Hobbit menu at Denny's today. 😀 (Smaug's Fire Burger, if you want to know. It was delicious.)
Me too!!! I can't wait to see it at the midnight showing!!! ^.^
OOH! I tried a breakfast but not really something as special as the burger 😉 Although I can't eat spicy foods so I don't think I could try it 😛
I have some important things to get done too before I can get really excited for DoS. 😛
Ooh, yum! I had the breakfast (it was especially good and I really liked the honey cake french toast).
So what is everyone looking forward to?
Bilbo. Cumber-Smaug. Balin. Thranduil (hope he's cool). Bard. Probably in that order. 😛
