OMG!!! ARE YOU KIDDIN"?!!!!<P>That is my ABSOLUTE favourite part of the book!!! And when PJ didn't know it in the second one I was the only one in the theatre that stood up and yelled "Wait a minute?! WHERE THE HELL IS SHELOB?" The most aggrevating thing for a reader of the books is to leave the movie and hear all these non-readers whispering "Who's 'She'?" (Gollum plotting to himself).<P>I watched the EE and totally understand now why PJ left her for the ROTK, coz on numerous occasions I'd stop after the second book as you feel depressed when Sam's locked oustside the large doors. From the books I always imagined her scurrying along the side of a battlement wall while Frodo tried to run along the top of it and then she'd SPRING up in front of him and jab him with her stinger.<P>But PETER TAKE A BOW! <P>Seriously, my friends had to hold me down in my seat when her part was coming up. I love how he didn't show her fully until she crept outside. And I loved her stealthily looming above him. And I loved her many brilliant eyes. And I loved her fight with Sam (she looked like she was going to win there). But the best bit is that PJ showed that she wasn't exactly dead, that she had crept back into her chambers to recouperate. <P>Mind you didn't understand how her stinger got through the Mithril shirt in the movie (yes he is wearing it coz later the orcs are fighting over it).
