I realize that PJ did an alright job compensating for the palantir, but having him throw himself off the embrasure of seventh level Minas Tirith was just a handy tool to get rid of an R rating ala self-immolation. It was to slapstick in delivery. Denny's insanity worked, considering all of the trauma PJ piled on him, but I want that palantir back! Plus, without the palantir, I lose my favorite part of the Denethor story; the palantir on his fiery deathbed.
