I was infact disappointed by the dead marshes, they were nothing how I had imagined them but then most of the film was not how I had imagined it.<P>I think it is worth remembering that PJ provided us with one interpretation of the story, so what we see is only one idea of how it may actually have been. Visually I thought the scene was very impressive even though I was expecting a little more spooky as they were the <I>dead marshes,</I> and that it had come from Mr Jackson.<P>To answer earlier questions, Brinniel I also thought the elf who opened his eyes (or they just went white) was Gil-galad when I first saw TTT. From what I have seen of him in the extended dvd it certainly looked like him from the face. I sincerly hope it was not him however as even in a movie where they did not show his strength and his purpose, they could not condemn him to the dead marshes, surely!<P>Also, the post about Smeagol/Gollum saving Frodo being a reference to Frodo saving Sam in FotR, following that pattern would it not mean that Sam would have to save Gollum in the next film? It seems unlikely that he would after all he is not fond of the creature but perhaps that makes it even more of a possibility? No?
