I've been getting more down this week as my cold has lingered, but I finally had energy today to walk a couple of laps around the lake and finally have the focus to post. First off, I wanted to mention that after the long discussions of that scene that I mentioned bothered me in FotR in myFotR EE post, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I think PJ kind of botched it a little when he finished up, saying that this is all to say he wasn't directing everything. But no, shouldn't the point be that Fran DID direct some of it and she should get more credit and you're supposed to be promoting her, not bringing it back to you? Sigh.

I brought along these fine folk:
