What ifs . . . The Grey Company - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I too missed the Grey Company, especially on the Paths of the Dead. It would have been following the book at least a tiny bit better to have them at Helm's Deep,and it would indeed have accomplished what was dramatically desired by having the Elves walk in. It would have been grand to see Craig Parker as Halbarad, too; I didn't much like him as Haldir. I suppose they didn't want to introduce more characters; in the directors' commentary to TTT EE, they spoke many times about the difficulty of introducing so many new characters. Sigh.
