OOM: Granted 🙂 – is it a waste of time to ask if you’ve also seen Sherlock? 🙂
jmh: Granted as well. I haven’t seen either one yet (I’m gonna try to convince my brother to watch the first one with me, though, over the summer) but if the new characters do add to the story then a lot of what I said is pretty much wrong.
I do wonder, though, if, had there already been a female character in the book, they would have added in more.
Besides, I wasn’t really thinking about the expansion aspect- how they’re really incorporating more of Tolkien’s ideas in.
