Interlacing in LotR and elsewhere

[Evenstar1]

Yes! I totally agree! I couldn't WAIT to see what would happen to everyone: it was like the BEST soap opera EVER! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (That's a compliment, btw.)

I loved the build-up and build-down, too. Here's how I saw it:

(Frodo, Sam)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Gandalf)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir)
(Frodo, Sam)....(Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir)
(Frodo, Sam)....(Merry, Pippen)....(Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli)
(Frodo, Sam)....(Merry, Pippen)....(Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf)
(Frodo, Sam)....(Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen, Aragorn, Gandalf)
(Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen)
(Frodo, Sam)

Loved it!
