Imladris,
Cool. And what I meant is that I've heard Jackson and his cronies generally use the 'non plot forwarding' excuse many times, but incorrectly. I have not heard him mention Radagast at all either. I just cheekily put forward the point that you were copying Jackson's line of thought on minor characters.
One of the things I love about the books is the way that 'small' (inasmuch as the number of pages they take up) characters have essential parts to play in the books, that without them there would be major, perhaps catastrophic, consequences.
I believe a new thread is required at the books section on this, so I'll start one up. Take a look if you're interseted, Imladris.
