A Journey With Frodo - Chap.53 - 'Elijah Wins a Bet'

[not_alone]

Finally I can post Chapter 53 after much trauma!! So much went wrong while I was working on this chapter including at one time losing all I'd done and having to start again!! I did almost decide to scrap it at one point and go to whatever comes next! I thought perhaps it wasn't really worth giving this one tv show a whole chapter especially as

He looked so adorable at that show. I'd never seen any of these pics or heard about these shows before. Thank you so much, especially after losing some of your work on this post the first time!

Many thanks SB. I'm glad this chapter covered something new to you - I'm surprised by how many people didn't know about him appearing on this show. karin_woywod has included some more pics from Wetten Dass in her comment:)

I remember watching clips from that show on YouTube!

I wonder who owns that video Elijah had made to get the part of Frodo now... I hope they include it on an anniversary edition of the movies in the future!

So do I - we really need to see that video!! :D

Thank you for another great chapter. It feels like an Elijah birthday present for us all. I'm glad you decided to put it in after all the trouble you had with it.

These German shows are often overlong and the presenters tend to consider themselves the main attraction of the show. Not at all to my taste. But Elijah handled it all beautifully.

I loved your screencaps from TTT. It's an important scene as it explains the duality in Frodo at that point of the story. His addiction to the ring, his compassion with Gollum and his hopes for himself. Elijah and Sean got that across very wel.

You're welcome, Ambree. Glad you enjoyed it. As I said to Prim, I think Elijah might have had second thoughts about appearing in that show if he'd known what he was letting himself in for!! But as you say, he handled it all with his usual grace and professionalism. karin_woywod has included some more pics from Wetten Dass in her comment:)

Glad you liked the TTT screencaps. There are so many subtle changes of expression in that scene so it was quite tricky:)
