<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR><B>dragoneyes</B>: I could have done without the roving eye of Sauron across the plains of Mordor, though it was pretty cool when Frodo was caught in the light (why he wasn't seen is beyond me).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Why he wasn't seen is obvious--the beam of light was a special effect. Heh, heh! <P>The <I>real</I> Sauron would never let his gaze be reduced to a cheap, visible effect, or his minions would know when he was not looking at them, and might be tempted to slack off in their badness.
