[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like Hugo Weaving too. I think it would be a bit odd to see him as anyone else, especially since he played the guy in both past and future roles in Fellowship, so it would be really odd for a different Elrond to show up sometime in between.

I like him, though in all honesty, I still can't help but imagine the avatar I saw on another forum where an individual had a picture of Elrond wearing shades and a speech bubble that read, "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson." Add some green numbers in the backdrop.

I'd like to see Radagast. He wasn't much of a character in LOTR but I do remember the guy. I was on the lookout for more of the colour guys but there didn't seem to be any more beyond the three.

Is Cate Blanchett back as Galadriel? I know my dad griped that he didn't think she was attractive enough to play her. I thought she had the mysterious and elfy bit down pretty well, but I don't really have much of a reference to compare her to.
