I remember these same sort of issues coming up in Fellowship when they would just cut from one scene to the next. Remember when they were on the Bucklebury Ferry and then cut to Bree? How about the Strider leading the the Hobbits out of Bree, cut to Gandalf, cut back and they are at Weathertop? And just one more. Frodo is wounded on Weathertop, cut to Gandalf again, cut back and they are at the Trollshaws.<P>The thing is that continually showing time going by to illustrate the true distance these characters are travelling would become incredibly tedious real fast. Those of us that know the distances just have to assume that a few days goes by between some of these cuts. There's really nothing in the films to suggest otherwise.<P>H.C.
