The ones I really, really want to see are the Houses of Healing (ties up the Faramir/Eowyn loose end) the Palantir (oh, so THAT'S why...) Saruman (OK, he's dead. No surprise appearances later) and Frodo leaving Bag End to Sam at the Grey Havens (come on, it's just a sentence!). The movie will leave too many questions open if they don't include that. There's a lot of other stuff which would be good to see - I wouldn't mind seeing Frodo suffer a *little* more once back in the Shire, so that we can really see what's pushing him to go to the Undying Lands. And the Mouth of Sauron throwing down the mail-shirt, so that the "For Frodo" cry has a bit more resonance. And some other stuff. But that's enough to start on. <P>Doug*platypus: You're forgetting the part during the Voice of Saruman where Saruman points to Merry and Pippin - "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling halflings!" <p>[ 8:33 PM December 21, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
