<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>the entrance of Aragorn and the shadow armies onto the pelennor battle fields.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually, the shadow armies didn't come upriver to the Pelennor Fields. They captured the fleet of Umbar at Pelargir, and Aragorn then declared their Oath to be fulfilled: "and swiftly the whole grey host drew on and vanished like a mist that is driven back by a sudden wind". The army that came with Aragorn was comprised of captives and slaves who had been folk of Gondor, along with men of Lebennin & Lamedon.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The Frodo and Sam moments are what really needs to be there for me. The heartbreak when Sam decides to continue the journey alone... there's already been spoilers about where Sam carries Frodo... just so many many more moments!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The relationship between Frodo and Sam is the most important element in the story for me. Their friendship and the sacrifices that each make for the other are the main reason that I've had a 37 year love affair with LotR.
