The line that irritates me the most occurs after The Battle of Pelenor Fields, when The King of The Dead, and the army of The Dead, have assembled to be freed from their living death and for their oaths to be held fulfilled.
The King of The Dead says: "Release us!"
Then Gimli says: "Bad idea! Very handy in a tight spot, these lads...despite the fact they're dead."
Which leaves us to assume that Gimli was suggesting that Aragorn should have gone back on his word and do precisely what got all those ghosts in that mess in the first place. Book-Gimli certainly would never have suggested such a thing.
