Sure, you could say that aragorn and arwyn fooled around a bit and it'd PROBABLY be true because of that whole child vision thingy, but they both seem to decent and likely waited some time after the film. Sam's the kinda guy who just picks up his beer, pulls a long draw and ends up with the blonde waitress. To top it off, you KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that he was knockin boots cuz he's got the kids.

That is all.

I thought his name was Ogluk! It is Lurtz though. I'm just weird! :D

That's Ugluk and he's in The Two Towers.

no, hes not in the two towers because aragorn kills him in FotR after he kills boromir with the crossbow. Sarumon creates him in the bubbling cauldron if i recall correctly.

Lurtz is killed by Aragorn in FotR, Ugluk is in the TTT. The movie versions only of course.


When I said "That's Ugluk" I was actually just correcting her spelling because she said Ogluk.

Treebeard is my favorite.

But I have a question about the orc ? "general ?" who looks kinda like the elephant man and seems to be directing the orcs in the big battle in the movie ROTK.

Is he a character from the books with a name ?

Really ? Just to clarify I'm talking about the leader? with a mishapen light colored head who directs the ORCs as they attack Faramir's forces in Osgiliath first and then later at the larger battle steps out of the way of an incoming stone hurled from Minis Tirith. He also seems to be a field general who orders the orcs to turn and face the Rohirrim.

If he is Gothmog, isn't he a balrog ? and the greatest balrog at that ? Why no fire ?

He isn't listed at that website as an orc.

(all this thinking about the movie is gonna cost me another $10 to go see it again ! :D)

Legolas of the main characters... of the minor characters, for some reason I thought the elf who showed up at Helm's Deep with the reinforcements in TTT was pretty cool. I do not know his name though.

The book never specified it iirc, so they had to guess.
