That's interesting, HC Island; I was rather indignant about the movie's treatment of him, since I'd admired his bravery in the book, as that of the sensible and sturdy hobbitry unimpressed by the workings of darkness, and once again tougher than they look. I'd really rather have had him left out. However, the change seems consistent with Jackson's overall treatment of hobbits. <P>Say what you want; <I>I</I> believe him. <P>--Belin Ibaimendi<P>who rather preferred Maggot's treatment in <A HREF="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/comic/bwcomic08.jpg" TARGET=_blank>this</A> representation.....
