That really was inevitable. I never expected a lot of detail here.Anyway, don't take this the wrong way, and I do appreciate Essex's spoiler space, but I told myself that once the detailed reviews start coming in that I would begin avoiding the boards. I love guessing at this stuff, but I want most of it to be a surprise.We'll see you guys December 17. I have little doubt this is going to be great! H.C.

Good idea...don't know if I'm disciplined enough, but it's worth a try! With the new way the topics come up, I read HC's plan first and now have nothing to say about the (unread) spoiler! NEXT!

I see your point HC, but I really don't care about spoiling anything when I already know the overall story line from the book. I know most of you don't think that way but for me bring on the spoilers!

No shocker there, PJ probably wanted more time for the Arwen-Witch King battle.

...Eowyn/Witch-King, you mean. Which, incidently, if the same source is to be believed, has been messed about with, dialogue-wise. No mention of "Begone, foul dwimmerlaik...for living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him." Instead, the quote is "If you touch him I will kill you." Very epic language - I don't think.

That spoiler Essex posted was a little shock to me but luckily it'll be on dvd! It would have been nice if the dialogue writers had used more quotes from the book.
