All good things must come to an end, so does my two-month journey into all things Middle-earth. Like these guys are doing, I’m moving on to other shores.
(It’s a still from a little-aired 1993 Finnish TV version of LOTR. I’m guessing, counterclockwise from the fat left, the characters are Boromir, who looks appropriately dopey and anguished, like a wounded bull; Merry/Pippin and Merry/Pippin, both seated with arms folded; Sam kneeling at the back putting his hand on Frodo’s shoulder — who I know is Frodo because he’s the most conventionally handsome; in back of him, aragorn in black with a boatpole and a Luis Ruyo upknot; behind him a glum-looking Legolas holding a bow. That leaves the last figure as Gimli.)
