I'd love to see it!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

That's a rhetorical question, right Al? Of course we want to see it.

Al - I've already scanned the pages onto my PC, if it saves you a job. How do I post them as images here?
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Unfortunately, the gallary is the one thing that got screwed up when we transferred to the new server, and I can't seem to get if fixed. :(

My favourite bit is the quote from Christopher Lee:


"I'd be interested in seeing how that transition from good to evil occurred, and, yes, of course I would return to the role if I were asked"

More recent concerns about his willingness to travel have been mentioned, but its nice to know he's onboard if they want him!

Yes, it would be great to see Saruman's arc fleshed out, but , of course, it has to be done so the White Council doesn't suspect anything before Gandalf goes to Orthanc in FotR.
