Yes, I realize a major reason for not including The Scouring of the Shire in ROTK would be not having enough time, but if so, why did they include the Mirror of Galadriel scene in FOTR in the first place? That scene, with Frodo looking into the mirror, clearly shows Orcs ravaging the Shire. How can they not resolve that (and the questions that go along with that) without including at least a brief version of the Scouring?<P>Also, how will they tie up Saruman's and Wormtongue's ends? Have Legolas shoot them? Pleeze...<P>Thoughts?
