Mechtild's

I love Frodo's reaction as Gimli's axe strikes the Ring. It's as though he feels the blow physically, as if the hard-edged blade had cleaved his own flesh and bone. He looks nauseous as the Ring whispers, beads of perspiration visible on his upper lip and forehead. Elijah is terrific in this scene.

I've always loved Sean Bean's delivery of 'One does not simply walk into Mordor...'

I would have liked Bilbo at the Council too, though I agree the scene works well as filmed. Gorgeous screencaps as always. Thanks Mechtild.
