I've just recieved the fright of my life. Wolf Larson mentioned "the Scourging of the Shire", and for a moment the thought entered my head that for the past seven years I've read the title of that chapter wrong. Of course, this would be nothing new. After all, it took me till three quarters of the way through TTT to understand that Barad-Dur was not Bran-Dur.<P>Anyway, after assuaging my fears and finding in official print the title "The Scouring of the Shire", I'm thinking that the two most important parts of RotK are:<P>-Denethor's suicide<P>-An accurate and worthy portrayl of Pippin's story, without any comics or stunts. He ought to be the grave, depressed soul that we see in the books, not a jolly little hobbit on a holiday.<P>Iarwain
