It seems to me they had too many of those blonde Elves...Wood Elves? I thought Legolas was the only Wood Elf there. And there are some extra Men too. I'll have to look at movie pictures but I think they had a few extra Dwarves on hand too. No wonder someone took Frodo's chair and no one invited Bilbo!

Maybe they figured a bunch of nameless blond elves would make up for Glorfindel not being there.... ;)

In reading the chapter on the Council, I found myself feeling very sorry for the Mirkwood elves. Can you imagine the lead-in they got about Gollum? There Aragorn is talking about how he's just SO GLAD that Gollum is safely tucked away in Mirkwood, and they have to say, "well, ummm, sorry to have to tell you this, but...."

Aragorn: Still I for one am glad that he is safely kept by the watchful Elves of Mirkwood....

Poor Legolas! LOL....

Did Legolas come alone? I guess I wasn't paying attention to that....

I can just imagine him getting selected to be the lucky elf that gets to deliver their news.
