Ahhhh...good ol' Tom. When I first read LOTR, he was the most boring character that I ever had to read. I would have skipped him totally, but I didn't want to miss anything. But now that I read them again, he isn't so boring. <BR>I think PJ made a good decision about not putting him in. But even if they had filmed Tom, it would have been a good idea to leave it out of the theatrical version, but then put him in in the special extended version.
