I agree that for a movie the Scouring of the Shire is out of place. However, that dos't mean I'm glad it's gone. There are some very special things that happen in that chapter. One part I think is very important is Frodo's character. He wanted to be sure that very few people were hurt and he also stopped Sam from killing Saruman. That part holds great meaning for me and I hope that PJ makes that apart of movie Frodo somehow. <P>Scouring of the Shire wasn't just a fun little story tacked onto the Lord of the Rings. It was delibrate. It showed the spirit of the hobbits in full. <P>I also want to add that it is very unrealistic that the Shire would be untouched through the whole war of the ring. In the movie we will probably recieve a much more sapy fairytale ending.
