No- Pippin is a funny character. But the point is that both he and Merry grow up and into their future obligations (which I very much doubt we'll be shown. "What's a Thain? What is he Master of? We were'nt told anything as background remember. It would be a completely new concept to burden the brains of non-lotraholics with)- and it seems we've seen precious little so far. Maybe this is to highlight the change when it comes? We'll see!
