I agree. The Extended Edition was a cool device for adding character development and nice scenes in FOTR but even there it had some problems. Galadriel's gift scene, for instance, was totally left out and then we see Frodo with an invisibility cloak in TTT with no explanation to the audience where it came from. This was minor, however, compared to leaving out the resolution of a battle that has been the main focus of SIX HOURS of CINEMA TIME. Extended Editions are cool, but it should not be necesarry to watch them to see key elements of the storyline.
