I don't know, I can see Frodo getting even more depressed than he is now (scary thought). Bet we're going to be seeing a LOT of Sam carrying Frodo in the third movie; though how Frodo will ever have the strength to hold up the Phial to Shelob is kind of beyond me...<P>I'm probably going to get smacked for this, but I didn't think the Nazgul scene was a total disaster (any more than that whole Osgiliath scene was a disaster, but anyway). I think it was supposed to be an echo of the scenes in FOTR where Frodo is three feet away from a sniffing Nazgul and only gets saved at the last second by somebody. In those scenes he tries to resist, at least sort of, but in the TTT scene he's just offering the friggin' thing. "Here! Take it!" It looks like it's supposed to show how the Ring is taking him over. The reason the Nazgul wouldn't pounce right away (and he did actually pounce pretty fast) is that he's blind. I definitely agree that the movie would have been better off without it, though.
