Sylvain,
I managed to catch the special (Quest for the Ring) as well, and couldn't agree more about how spectacular LOTR looks! Unfortunately I wasn't aware of it in time to post anything on the site regarding it's airing, (there was very little advance publicity) so my apologies to those that missed it. Mr. Lee made a few comments regarding the roles of Gandalf and Saruman within the Middle-Earth hierarchy, that put their relative status, particularly within their magical order, in perspective:

"Saruman is number one, Gandalf is number two."

There was also a brief behind-the-scenes sequence showing Mr. Lee's stunt double being yanked backwards through a doorway. Pretty cool stuff!

Cheers!
