Frodo and Covenant are the ringbearers: can't avoid that comparison.

But then Covenant's ring is his... and the One Ring is Sauron's.

But Sauron is Foul's counterpart, and both seek the ring.

Ergo, Frodo is Lord Foul's counterpart!

Ah! Another mystery solved!

Re: Continuing the Serenity lovefest

Something I'd missed during my first viewing, I'd never seen that the spike that impaled Wash was not wreckage from their landing but a projectile shot at Serenity by the Reavers. So guess that makes me stupid. Well, I caught on myself a few seconds later. When Serenity lands/crashes, I still have ...

Grapes of Wrath for me, with Henry Fonda.

Just so few hope comes out of it.

Just read the 'plot summary' for this film at imdb.
Sounds like a Simpson's episode (and I do mean an actual one).

I guess I won't make a mistake not seeing this movie (nor "Silence of the Hams" ;) )

And on CTV I heard Sandy Rinaldo asking Belinda Stronach if she would run for the Liberal leadership... **shivers** Bah, I don't care for CTV much of the time.

It's a good "what if" question.
But after one answers what one would do if one was a leper and being summoned to the Land, one would have to ask oneself: "Then, would the Creator have chosen me as a champion in the first place?"

I think that went well... (à la " Made In Canada ") Conservative minority, Martin quitting Liberal leadership, Bloc not as strong as it hoped to be, the Layton couple joined in the House. And on CTV I heard Sandy Rinaldo asking Belinda Stronach if she would run for the Liberal leadership.....

I had absolutely no knowledge of the 2002 Firefly tv series, and when the trailers for a movie called Serenity came out, I thought it was just one of those lousy sf movie that come out every year with not much inside, including marial arts scenes to bring ridiculous action to a void script. Well, re...

plus the whole sponsorship thing doesn't bother me all that much. It was peanuts after all, considering billion dollars national budgets.

Less 'unatural' to the Land as Covenant was, but their hopes in him have certainly been transmitted to her by other's wants. She may have been what they expected of him. With the consequences we know. What others may call madness, I think she had the guts that was demanded of her... which she gave a...
