She has two brothers ( Elladan & Elrohir) - They even show up in the books.
But this is correct. Basically, Arwen’s dad Elrond is the brother of Aragorn’s greatX grandpappy, making him Aragorn’s Great X Uncle and Arwen his Xth cousin (or possibly his first cousin X removed, but I don’t think that’s right)
Galadriel is Elrond’s Mom-In-Law and Arwen’s Granny. She’s aged well

First cousin X removed. The “removed” part counts generations above or below a given layer of a family tree.
Dammit. That was a book spoiler (almost, it’s cousin x-times removed)–I don’t think the movies mentioned it. Now we need a new LOTR threads rule.

But who is Prof. T? As I understand it, he or she is a superfreak!
Oh, most serious Tolkienologists agree that he was. Seriously, just look at the weird shit he was into.
Did he just have sex with an Ent?
Entwife actually. They aren’t lost, they just ran away with JRRT after getting a taste of his “Foe-Hammer.”
Thanks, I never get the distinction right it seems.
X cousin once removed means that person A is X cousin to person B’s parent - the connection is ONE generation removed. Person A is X cousin twice removed to B’s child. And so forth.

Well, shit. I had a free weekend coming up and was really looking forward to reading the SDMB Game of Thrones threads starting at season one. I wanted to go in fresh, not knowing which poster is most likely to point out deviations from the books, who most consistently beats everyone else at starting individual episode threads, and who claims to be giving up on the series only to return the next season.
I clicked into this thread expecting to read someone making fun of someone else’s taste in literature. Instead, I got what is probably the best plot-twist in the whole series of threads ruined. Thanks a lot, SenorBeef .
No kidding! There should be a rule, for the purpose of this thread, no other threads exist. Period.
Frank:
I think DrDeth is, in general and in all aspects, a world-class jerk.
That said, I think that SenorBeef could shut the fuck up about it.
And I think it’s better than GoT. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Speaking of such, we have a new development . Plus confirmation of DrDeth’s heelface turn.
Is it true in the GoT books that Darth Vader is Jon Snow’s father?

**I have always been against spoilers. **
However, did we need a dozen posts* piling on the guest? He doesnt post often, he is likely not aware.
But yeah, delete it.
and yeah, i was one of them. :smack:
It’s moving faster than Game of Thrones at this point.
