Where did Tom go?

[The Dagda]

<BR> Re: Tom (and Glorfindel)</b><br><br> Well then why include Helm's Deep, or Fangorn Forest, or anything else beside Frodo's and Sam's journey into Mordor, if all we are concerned with is the movement of the Ring to its doom? At least the Ring is present in the Bombadil chapters and the Glorfindel chapter.<br> <br> I myself cannot see the point of deleting Glorfindel. How much time is saved by doing so?<br> <br> We'll all see for ourselves, but it appears we will fly from Bag End to Bree in a matter of minutes, with a few encounters with some of the Nazgul along the way, in order to make room for Arwen being at the Ford and wherever else she is written into. Whatever. The Lord Of The Rings may be filmed in New Zealand, but it is still a Hollywood movie, so why expect more from it?<br> <p></p>
