Wow! VERY intriguing!
I had not heard of Gael, but Georgie does yell Gael, I guess that’s who it is…

Georgie looks so much more grown up here! Yikes!

it happened to Peter Jackson…sort of. I hear he did listen to what fans were saying, considered it, and eventually filmed what worked. Film and Books are two different media which require two different storytelling styles. What can be left to the imagination of the individual reader in a book must be spelled out in a film, etc. I’m also a huge LOTR fan, and though the films were quite different (especially where a beloved-for-30-years character got much of his dialog etc left out)I loved them as much as the books. Enjoy both, each for their unique qualities. And get new fans to read the books!

I had to chuckle at armor on a ship…been there, done that (living history buff, wore chainmail shirt on Viking Longship once, stayed in exact geographic center of ship and tried to figure out what I’d do if I went overboard in the Patuxent River (www.longshipco.org)). Let’s hope they do a far better job than in (ack) Beowulf!

I have been thinking all of these things! But I’m really not liking the idea of ‘Gael’ on board because it could change the plot if they let it. I wish they would just stick to the book. They think that changing the plot from the book will make the movie better, but to a true fan of the books it can be annoying.

That’s actually a really good guess. MAYBE…

They’re sailing past the Dark Island, and Rhince sees a "vision" of his daughter jumping overboard and so he freaks out to go and save her, but she’s actually just an illusion and that’s why Lucy’s yelling after him.

^I hope it’s that, b/c any other option would be too much of a plot change :S

This is probably when they are going through the island where nightmares come true and if that is Rhince’s daughter then they probably spiced up the story like always and have him thinking his daughter is drowning and tries to jump overboard to save her…
