Uni 306 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Someone. Voted. For Kili. Incredible. (Not gonna repeat myself; see my commentary here.)I figured Balin would be the hardest one to get right—both the character and the look. He may not be the leader of the group, but he's the most sympathetic of the gang, and the one we grow closest to (which is why we ought to mourn him properly when the Fellowship discovers his tomb in Moria). I doubted they'd get him right, but they did—"they" mostly being Ken Stott, who turns in the performance that hits the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It was a tie between Bofur and Kili and I went with Kili because I figured nobody else would go for him. Balin and Thorin would be the others high up on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Ken Stott's is the 2nd best performance in BOTFA next to Freeman's. Dwarrow is the plural Tolkien himself preferred for his dwarves. He used "dwarves", believing it to be the correct English plural. I think it was only when he discussed his mistake (the correct English being "dwarfs") that he said he would have probably gone with "dwarrow" *if* he'd meant to invent his own plural.

Incanus 5,714 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Tolkien actually used the incorrect plural form "dwarves" more often than "dwarrows" as it appears only in the name Dwarrowdelf in his writings. Same goes for the incorrect plural of elf "elves" and "elven" instead of correct "elfin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
