What is a topic you could stand up and talk passionately about for five minutes?

Any number of fandom opinions:

• Why we shouldn't overlook Celeborn of Lorien when we talk about Galadriel, and why everybody still does.
• Why Colonel Young from Stargate SGU is actually the right man for the job even though he himself doesn't think so.
• Why some people love the villains in media and why it doesn't make them villains themselves.

A few non-fannish subjects:

• The history and typology of morris dancing - I regularly do give a talk about this.
• The history of Roses and Castles painting and how to do it yourself - I have taught a class on this too.
• Anglo-Saxon clothing and how to construct it - I might be a bit rusty on this one if I was asked to go into depth but I can easily fill 5 minutes.

I would love to hear you talk about #1 and #3 and would be right there with on both counts. And I had hoped that Tolkien fandom had gotten better, but I guess Rings of Power (which I haven't seen and don't plan to) created a backlash there?
