That's what I meant - that we couldn't have Uggy die if he were to have a pivotal role in TTT. Not sure how it would have worked as a cliff-hanger, as we are left with the Three trotting off to reclaim the two, and the other two off to Mordor. We mustn't complicate the movie overmuch, and adding "what happens to Uglúk" may just push some viewers over the edge.

Also, "Lurtz-Aragorn duel"... do you call that a "duel"? He simply appears and chops his head off. That's all. I don't see anything exceptional on that, except for another absolutely ruining image of Aragorn (the same as when he decapitates the Mouth of Sauron).

They box, throw things and play at swords. They even have some face-to-face time, and it's not until Aragorn realizes that Lurtz suffers from chronic acute halitosis that he tries to help by relieving the orc of its head (a medieval cure; Aragorn was no Elf nor scientist/barber).

I know, I shouldn't have posted here in the first place...

Over-seriousness and logical thinking may be a detriment to posting in this part of the forum.
