Mari,<P>Well, I'd have it go just a bit further, when Frodo is being carried off and Shagrat (I think it's Shagrat) tells the other orc (Gorbag?) that Shelob hadn't actually killed Frodo...and then show the Choices of Master Samwise...That <I>seems</I> to be the obvious choice. The audience will know Frodo is alive but captive, and that Sam intends to 'keep his promise' by going after him. A lot of people are quite mystified about PJ's choice here. I know I am, but I think he's earned enough of my trust not to get too worried about it...yet...<P>However, the more I think of it, I think the final scene could be Frodo, Sam, and Gollum staring down at Minas Morgul as the Witchking and his hosts issue forth toward Minas Tirith. That could be preceded by Aragorn's confrontation with Sauron with the Palantir and his embarking on the POTD. Remember, I think all three remaining parties of the Fellowship have their own cliffhanger scenes, eh? PJ has options here.<P>No, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on the unleashing of Sauron's Morgul forces as the final scene.<p>[ February 28, 2002: Message edited by: Glenethor ]
