Heh. Yeah unfortunately that entire gene pool is killed off in one hit (grumble-grumble-flips-Tolkien-off) except for Kili and Fili's mum, Thorin's sister.
I'll be over here sobbing forever.
gonerandom said: ha. I was thinking of you when I saw this movie yesterday….
Yes. I'm already about to start making lists of "fix-it fic" and AU everybody lives" fic in order to go through a healing process.
I consoled myself in the theater thinking "At least they will live on forever in fic..."
*sniffle*

gonerandom replied to your post “Inmates”
Knowing that Beth has no one left in the world but her, and the fact that Glenn has the skills to look after himself, I felt it was very poor story telling that Maggie forgot all about her.
I agree that it was very poor storytelling. It made Maggie really unlikable, imo. And I blame the writers for that. If they made us believe that she thought Beth was dead, that would be one thing. But they had this one mention and then, as far as I remember, she didn't mention Beth again.

From the delightful GoneRandom:
1. Do you write? Why? --Yes, because I've been making up stories in my head for as long as I can remember. I think it's part of being a voracious reader and having a vivid imagination. I've been telling stories to myself (in my head) since I was just a little thing...I'm talking 5 or 6 years old. 2. Tell us about your best concert experience? -- U2, Charlottesville, VA, 2009. I'd been wanting to see U2 live since 1987, but life kept getting in the way. 2009 was a horrible year---I lost my grandmother and was kicked off a program I loved at work for being "difficult." Those two events occurred within 3 months of each other, and the U2 concert was in the middle. The fact that I was able to go to the concert with some of my favorite people in the world made it even better. The music was incredible, the set was just off the hook, and I was able to grieve and celebrate, cry and dance and scream all I wanted. 3. What is the last movie you saw? --- I keep re-watching Pitch Perfect. It's a sickness. 4. Share a moment you wish you could ‘do over’ and why. ---I wish I could go back to my last visit with my grandmother just so I can hear her voice again. 5. Who do you think about most often? --My husband. 6. What was your most recent purchase? --Christmas presents! Books and movies. 7. What fictional character do you relate to the most? --Lucy van Pelt in Peanuts. 8. Would you rather be a lumberjack or a long haul driver? --Long haul driver, definitely. 9. Favourite animal? --Cat. 10. Would you like to have a cup of tea with me? --Oooh, yes please!
I've got questions!

GoneRandom’s Questions:
1. Do you write? Why?
I love to write! It's a great stress reliever, it's something I really enjoy doing, and I'm not half bad at it either! Unfortunately, I'm super critical and will rarely let anyone read anything I've written.
2. Tell us about your best concert experience?
Seeing Sutton Foster was incredible. The woman's voice is unreal. Just her and the piano player, nothing showy or fake about it. I had chills the entire time! Fantastic!
3. What is the last movie you saw?
"In the Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland and Van Johnson.
4. Share a moment you wish you could ‘do over’ and why.
I wish I could re-do my freshman and sophomore years of High School. My last two years I definitely came out of my shell and had the best time, but the first two I was this shy, timid thing who barely opened her mouth. High school, for the most part, was a blast and I miss it dearly.
5. Who do you think about most often?
I've been thinking about my mom-mom quite a bit recently. I was thirteen when she died and while that was plenty of time to get to know her and the wonderful woman that she was, there are still many facets of her life I would have loved to learn more about. I wasn't that curious then and I wish I would have been.
6. What was your most recent purchase?
Mouthwash and nail polish, hahaha.
7. What fictional character do you relate to the most?
I'm having such a hard time with this question... I honestly cannot think of anyone right now! Get back to me on that! Ha!
8. Would you rather be a lumberjack or a long haul driver?
I'd definitely rather be a lumberjack, I absolutely HATE driving.
9. Favourite animal?
Kangaroo's are my favorite wild animal! Dogs are my favorite domesticated!
10. Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?
I would absolutely love to have a cup of tea with you, darling! You're lovely! c:
