[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Actually Finwe, I will completely disagree with you. I think the suspense was shattered every time it switched to a 60 second clip of the Ents with Merry and Pippin.<P>Jackson's decision was a compromise. I realise that it was a compromise which nearly every director would have taken, however I maintain that it was very difficult to get into two of the storylines (Frodo and Sam's and Merry and Pippin's).
