Gilthalion has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

The "Shire in shambles" scene was depicted in Galadriel's mirror as an "homage" according to PJ on the Extended DVD. In the book Galadriel says that somethings do not come to pass unless those who view them try to prevent them. In the movie she says that this is what happens if Frodo fails.<P>But look at all that ROTK has to cover, even without the scouring!<P>***SPOILER WARNING***<P><B>IN MORDOR:</B><P>SHELOB<BR>ESCAPE FROM ORCS<BR>ROAMING MORDOR<BR>ESCAPE FROM ORCS AGAIN<BR>THE LAST LEG TO MT.

Even so, this promises to be a nice long movie. Will they make us wait until October 2004 for that DVD? Will PJ die of editing sickness before then?
