<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The one thing I didn't like was that Sam actually went all that way down the stairs before deciding to hell with what Mr. Frodo said. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This was my thought as well, <B>Diamond</B>! I alternated between being mad at Sam for actually going to being mad at Frodo for being so blind to forgiving Sam when I saw what Frodo's words did to him and then forgiving Frodo when I saw the horror he had to face in Shelob's Lair and his keen awareness that he was ALL ALONE and so was Sam beneath him on the Stairs...a wrenching passage indeed! It did not make me cry, but it did evoke some real polar responses!<P>There is absolutely no doubt in my mind (as if there ever was!) that Sean Astin IS Samwise Gamgee. If they were ever separate, they've merged forever now! And although I don't give a fig for awards, they could do a lot worse than giving the laurels to Sam, uh, I mean Sean! <P>Cheers!<BR>Lyta
