I've heard rumors that Sauron falls for the "Aragorn has the Ring" gambit and comes out to wipe the floor with him. It *is* a big change, but it probably won't bother me. For most moviegoers, seeing Sauron "in the flesh" (so to speak) is more exciting than watching him be a flaming eyeball. It's also more obvious that way that Sauron is completely absorbed in the battle until it's too late. Finally, it gives Aragorn another "drum solo" moment. I mean, after the Hornburg and the Pellenor fields, anything short of Sauron on the battlefield is going to feel anticlimactic. <P>What do you think?<P>-Lily
