True, but it makes Gandalf into....nothing. In the movie, he's not that wise, nor that powerful. All his strategies and cleverness from the book are made so that they're suggested by someone... |

The Smeagol flashback was rather nice, IMO, except that part where he bites the fish. Creepy. :( I think the main reason PJ added in that Smeagol flashback was to emphasize the pity one should... |
