<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Given this extraordinary opportunity - the key to victory dangled in front of his grasp - Sauron would surely have made some attempt to recapture it. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Which is exactly what we will likely see happening at the beginning of RotK: The Witch King leading a host of Mordor from Minas Morgul.<P>What's thrown me though is Jackson's own comments on the preview for RotK that is packaged with TTT DVD. Here he says that Sauron thinks Pippin has The Ring (which is closer to the book). So which is it? Does Sauron think The Ring is in Osgiliath or Isengard? Perhaps He thinks it is in Osgiliath but Gandalf and company thinks that He thinks it is in Isengard. Now, I'm really confused. <P>I've also heard the argument that the Nazgul cannot really sense the presence of The Ring until it is put on. After all, it's not like Frodo was any closer to the Ringwraith in Osgiliath than he was by the road in The Shire. This combined with the poor eye-sight of the wraith may have meant that it didn't even realize The Ring was there.<P>I don't know, but I am confused on this one. Personally, I'm withholding judgement until I see how it all plays out on the screen.<P>Oh, and welcome E&E (if I may call you that).<P>H.C.
