But I just KNOW it won't be there. I'm not convinced PJ is overly keen on Merry and Pip as anything but comic relief.<P>I think it's really bad that the Scourging of the Shire is going to be cut. It just shows the attitudes of Hobbits so well- able to fight in a tight spot. But then in the films Hobbits can't fight. Oh no, they just sort of stand around cringing. Thanks PJ. Also I like the idea that the Hobbits are so taken with Merry, Pippin and sam as they look and act like heroes but ignore Frodo. Well maybe like is the wrong word- it's very unfair! I was very upset that they cut the Ent Draught- one of my favourite lines was (something like) "If you mean to beat the Old Took I can't see why we can't go after the Bullroarer."
