Gorwingel has just left Hobbiton.

I thought that the Frodo going alone thing was okay, until Frodo says "Sam, Go home". Now at this point I personally think that they made a mistake.<BR>They actually had Sam turn around and head home!!!!<BR>Now this made me angry. Because the book Sam would never, never, never leave Frodo. I thought that they should have had Frodo and Gollum leave, and then have Sam sit and cry for a little bit. After Sam thinks for a moment and realizes that he did nothing wrong, he gets up, stands up tall and heads after them getting there just in time to defeat Shelob.<P>I think that this was a mistake because there is this one line in the FOTR book where I think either Pippin or Merry say something like Sam would jump down the throat of a dragon just to try to save Frodo. This line has always discribed Sam and Frodo's relationship for me, and that is why I am not exactly happy with this change.<p>[ 10:53 PM January 20, 2004: Message edited by: Gorwingel ]
