Yes, exactly. I watched part of the movie yesterday on Starz or one of those stations, and they did a marvelous job with the make up and lighting and Elijah was wonderful there, you could see that something was very wrong, but the dialogue just didn't do enough to explain why he was so sick and why he had to leave ME. I find I always want more when I watch the movies, even though I believe they're wonderful and as good as most anybody could have done. I just wanted them to make us realize what the quest had done to him. ah well, we do have fanfic for that.
