As far as rating it, can I wimp out and give it an indecisive shoulder shrug? Like a 0.5 or something?<P>I think I know what PJ was trying to do here (remember all changes were done with reasons). He needed to parallel the tension going on at Isengard and Helm's Deep and I understand that you can't have things seem hopeless at Hornburg only to cut to Sam asking Faramir to pass the bread. He wanted a climax in the Frodo-Sam thread that would hold up in the movie. <P>I would like to think it could have been done better, though nothing is coming to mind.<P>H.C.
