dragoneyes has just left Hobbiton.
I was always felt uneasy with the whole bowing part in the book. It annoyed me that we'd been through so much with Merry and Pippin, but they weren't honoured as Frodo and Sam were. Yes, I understand that they hadn't done much more than the soldiers of Rohan and Gondor, but this isn't my common sense speaking, this is just something I feel isn't right.

Of course, this could just be my blatant favouritism of Pippin, or my rebellious streak making me want to honour the people who no one else is honouring. But when I read the books it makes me feel torn in two, one part saying that it's fair, the other part saying that it's not.

But now I've got the movie to cover all my hobbit-loving needs. It makes me feel a lot better.
