[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9471209, member: 59816"] Oh, I have absolutely no problem with characters changing. I do, however think that it's fair to criticize this show for some of its portrayals. In the particular case of the question I posed (while otherwise praising the show) was that I can't fathom why anyone would ever wear those rings after what's happened. I suppose they were careful to make the Elf-Rings "Sauron-Free", and if it's really a matter of the rings saving the elves, I suppose Elrond might reluctantly wear one. We'll have to see. I think the Galadriel complaint is fair. I like her character quite a bit in the show - but she doesn't seem much like Galadriel - not because of her Adventuring, but because she seems more like an Extrovert who somehow changes over time into an Introvert. The brashness is fine by me - she's young - but it's now [I]what[/I] she does, but how she does it, that doesn't evoke the same character. For me, though, that complaint is nit-picking, not a matter of saying "This Show SUX!" I think it's quite good, but I would say that it could be better. I think that it IS getting better. They are finding their feet, and she seemed more like Galadriel to me this season, than she did last season. She's more thoughtful, in the right sort of ways. Yes, it's a good counter-argument. It's an unfathomably long time between the two. I don't think that anyone (remotely worth speaking with, at least) expects the characters not to change. That's a pretty serious mischaracterization of (most) people's complaints. Feel free to disagree with them, but try to at least stay with what they're actually talking about. [/QUOTE]
