Well, I like to think that the entwives went north, even past the Shire. I agree with some of you on that, and having a hoobit see a walking tree makes it more believeable. but what about the Old Forest? Remember that our four hobbits of the fellowship had seemed to be aware that the pathways were changing, and that the tree's looked angry. I think it's pretty obvious that the tree's were moving around of course, therefore the path would change or disappear. Does it say anything about the Old Forest in the letters?
Well, anyways I think that maybe these were the entwives but just grouchy or something. And if they weren't (I have a feeling they weren't for some reason) the entwives, then I have another theory about it.

How does one go about enslaving an angry 30-foot walking tree?

I do think it is possible to enslave an ent by dominating them, like Iarhen. But there are other ways too, like under the threat of torture and pain, and possibly even death. Didn't it say somewhere that Sauron was a pyromaniac? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Oh, and Iarhen, please don't get angry at me for saying this, I do not mean offence at all. We can't really use a line from teh movie here unless it was in the book, since the movie is just someone's (PJ's and co.) interpetation of the book. Lines from the movie that aren't in the book are not true, because they aren't in the book.
Durelin: I think I see what you're saying. The ents were isolated (because they wanted to be) from the rest of Middle-earth. They didn't give a fiddler's fart about the politics and current events of Middle-earth, until Merry and Pippin came along.
If that's what you're saying, well, remember, the entwives could have gone travelling south and might have passsed near Sauron and Mordor. If so, then it won't matter if the entwives ignore Sauron or not, Sauron will still try to enslave them. He might be able to dominate their minds, and if that doesn't work then he'll threaten them with torture or death. I don't think the entwives will be ignoring Sauron ofter that, since I'm sure that they did value their leafy lives. But if they did continue to ignore, then Sauron of course would torture them or kill them, until they obeyed him, which is what Sauron wanted of course (to dominate and enslave happy folk).
