Flotsam and Jetsam - a worried question

[Lalaith]

Now I haven't seen TTT - EE yet, I have to wait for my birthday present (precious). <BR>But I'm worrying about how and if this chapter of the book TT will be included, either in RotK or in the extended version of TTT, and I was hoping some of you good people could help.<BR>The scene of reunion with Merry and Pippin at Isengard was one of my favourite and most treasured moments in the novel - I loved the delighted and outraged reactions of elf and dwarf, the insouciance of the hobbits, and the delightful interchange with Theoden. Merry's words "so that was the King of Rohan? A fine old fellow, very polite," herald the awakening of the affection and devotion that leads the hobbit to risk his life on the fields of Pelennor. <BR>Of course, PJ's Theoden is not "a fine old fellow, very polite", he is a bitter, twisted piece of goods (one of the changes I most resented and disliked in the movie) so that particular quote is out of the window I suppose. But what about the rest of it? What is going to happen, do you all think? Is there any hint in the Extended Edition? Please don't worry about spoiling me, I don't mind!
