Eleven, actually.

I agree about the removal of Bombadil. I always found him a little...odd. o.O Tolkien himself even said that Bombadil was only in there as a nod to his (Tolkien's) own poems and things about him. He wasn't essential to the story. (This is said in Letters somewhere...)

Although I would have loved to see the Barrow-Downs... *sigh*

I also didn't mind Eomer filling in for Erkenbrand. That would have been a bit confusing for non-readers.

Also, *hides behind a shield* I've decided that I don't really mind that the Scouring was cut out. This way I get to keep my own mental image of it, instead of getting stuck with PJ's ideas. That could be the case with a lot of deleted scenes. You can keep your own thoughts on it. *nod nod*

Abedithon le,
