A short review, a little perspective, and a few gripes.

Kien – I think that they skipped the gift giving part in Lothlorien because I’ve heard the Scouring of the Shire part is not anticipated to be in ROTK – Sam won’t be using the soil. But, I thought I’d seen the gift giving in a trailer?</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>No scouring? Interesting... Especially when you consider exactly what Frodo saw in the mirror, the scouring. The interesting part is what Galadriel says, something like; What you have seen is what will be IF you fail. I don't recall her telling this to Samin FoTR, only that it was a possibility. This opens the door for them to succeed and the scouring never to happen... But what then happens to Saruman and Grima? Will be fun to watch!<P>Kien
