How the LotR should have ended...

[Plane Sailing]

You know, the absence of Glorfindel was one of my great disappointments about the movies. It's not that he did a whole lot in the book, but he was one of the most intriguing minor characters. I understand why for narrative purposes it made sense to give his role to Arwen. Still ....

For me too - I always found one of the most powerful images of the FotR was Frodo's view of the shadow world at the fords, where he can see the dim blobs of the fellowship and the bright star of Glorfindel.
