...and while it's awesome as usual, there's one section that's really small, but still managed to rip out my heart and stomp on it. Mostly when Anakin's denied mastery. Granted, I think everyone who saw the movie knew that part was coming, but the way Stover wrote Anakin's reaction was, once you got over the High Octane Nightmare Fuel of the psuedo-demonic-possession and everything else, Anakin's Heroic BSOD as he realizes that the entire Jedi Order may be against him (especially when they split up the team, which is Not Cool On So Many Levels), is just heartwrenching. That, and a rage-jerker. I mean, Jesus -- you pretty much exploit Anakin just for the sake of taking down Sidious (something that may be understandable, but there had to have been another way, like...well, wiretapping him or something. Or taking a blood sample. Plinkett was kind enough to point out possible ways of telling that something may be up with Palpatine in his ROTS review. :), and then you have the gall to act surprised/decide to kill him instead of, say, trying to rehabilitate him? Or apologize? Fuck you, Yoda -- and that goes double for everyone else (save Obi-Wan, of course. :).

I...yeah. R. Lee...help a girl out, will you?

R. LEE ERNEY: I bet those goddamn Jedi are the type that would *beep* a person in the *beep* and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give 'em a reacharound!

Well, that's good to know. Thank you, R. Lee. :)

I'm not normally an Aragorn/Eowyn shipper (I prefer Aragorn/Arwen myself. :), but let's say that rewatching LOTR (and writing my Disney Rings fic), it's one of those pairings that should have happened. Shoulda coulda woulda at its best.

Why, you ask? Just because it's such a simple pairing: based on friendship, based on love, based on the fact that they'll stand together no matter what. It's just one of those simple, beautiful things.

Don't get me wrong, I love Aragorn/Arwen still, and I understand why Tolkien didn't go with Aragorn/Eowyn (it would have proved all for nothing in the end), but...yeah. Shoulda coulda woulda, really. :/

Thoughts? :)

Another good song for K2. :) This one applies to Arawn and Sion, and their ****-ed up relationship. Seriously, play the game; it'll make more sense. :)

Also got Youtube Downloader. *Buries head in hands* I'm going to Youtube hell, aren't I? :p
