Estelyn, thank you so much for starting this post! Since there has been some (okay a <I>lot</I> of) negative feed-back from the movie (which is understandable) this is a wonderful breath of fresh air.<BR> I wholeheartedly agree about Theodred's death scene. I barely even caught the happenings of that in the book, as well as Wormtongue's attraction to Eowyn. <BR> Another scene I was grateful for was when Frodo stuck up for Smeagol and asked Sam why he kept calling him names and all. Now maybe I've just missed that in the book, but I have always been wondering why Frodo did not do that (or enough of it) in the book. I just think the way(s) they portrayed those three character's and their relationships to one another was wonderful. <P>~*Laialthriel*~
