You people have no sense. (Except Tigerlily Gamgee ) I thought the scene was very well done, in spite of the fact that it wasn't even in the book. I think PJ put it in just to show what Gondor was up against on its eastern border. I mean, Osgiliath is mentioned constantly in TT and RotK (the books) but we are never actually taken there. This shows the struggle over this stratigic spot, and (in my opinion) it gives Faramir a chance to redeem himself of his earlier actions. <P>As for the Nazgul/Frodo encounter, I think that was a bit much, but very suspenseful. And when Frodo has Sting up against Sam's throat...Sad! I think the whole thing was very well done.
