The Frodo/Sam trip was a bit boring, but how are you going to portray a trip like that (lots of traveling), without being boring? You can't put to much action in, or else it seems like the hobbits are un-catchable, you can't render that with a few capturings of the hobbits, because they obviously have to get loose, and that makes them look un-keepable. Too much action with the hobbits still emerging in the end makes them look invincable, something no self-respecting Tolkien-reader would've wanted. It is a bit boring, but really, what could he have done any differently? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
