Verily my compassion overcometh my wrath. Who are YOUR famous five?
Right so basically, of all the characters in ME. Who are your favourite five?
It doesn't have to be justified; which characters do you feel the most compassion or favouritism towards? I think it will be interesting to see the juxtaposition between the different characters mentioned. Furthermore, it will be difficult name only five, or so i feel anyway!

Well, I think Eowyn would make a good 'George', Aragorn is probably the ideal 'Julian', Pippin could be 'Dick', Luthien, 'Anne', & Huan as 'Timmy' ('Timmeh!)

As for my five... Fingon Faramir Frodo Sam Yavanna(Do Valar count?) It's been a while since I read the Silm. so there might be more in there that I like as much or more then the LotR characters I mentioned.

Most people I talk to have never heard of them though...as for my five...I don't know that I could really say Galadriel has always been fascinating to me...somewhat of a mystery in a way, and I like how she is described as having been the only woman standing tall amongst the Noldorian princes that fateful day in Valinor. I must admit that I do love Faramir. Gandalf is also wonderful Beren (for obvious reasons) ....and I can't choose a fifth. there are just too many...

I am obliged to have to change some of my order. The list could change at any time! Boromir is always first, of course.
1. Boromir 2. Pippin 3. Faramir 4. Theoden 5. Merry, or Beregond, or Imrahil... this fifth spot is up for grabs

Spare the rod...
My favorite characters in ME? Hmm... what a dilemma...
But here goes: 1. Old Tom Bombadil of the sexy yellow boots 2. Evil Bio-Engineer Morgoth 3. His apprentice Sauron 4. Ol' Witchking of Angmar 5. Galadriel So you'd see the attraction of villians...

Compassion and favoritism being two quite different things... at the moment, I am on a humor kick. Eomer's humor just kills me. As does Boromir's. And, Aragorn's. And, Frodo's. "I don't carry water in my pockets." Rofl. One more. Since I am listing my humor favorites today... Who else do I think terribly funny? Okay, this is a group award. I know, I know, but you'll see why. The Roll-Roll-Roll-Rolling elves from The Hobbit, and, the Tra-la-la-lally elves from The Hobbit. Have you HEARD the Tra-La-La-Lally version from "The Hobbitons"? Ya HOBBIT! Hilarious. Sounds like the tipsy guy is about to laugh himself out of his tree. Great stuff.

Maedhros
Hurin Feanor Fingon Gimli I'm always surprised how rarely in topics like this Fingon is mentioned. The deeds he accomplished were really impressive, such as rescuing Maedhros and when he and his Horse Archers sent Glaurung packing, just before the beginning of the 'Long Peace'. |

Dude, numerous other guys did a lot as well. Take Aragorn. He spent decades helping the free peoples and in that time destroyed Umbar's fleet. Then look at all the stuff he did in LOTR!!! Walking the paths of the Dead isn't an everyday job. My favorites are: 1) Beleg (that line "friend of friends" give me the shivers down the spine) 2) Turin 3) Finrod Felagund 4) Boromir 5) Morgoth (He rocks!!! Mwuhahahahaha!!!!!!)

Oh I'm not taking away from the deeds of others, I'm just surprised that, in a debate such as this, especially when people name five characters each, how infrequently someone like Fingons' name comes up!
