Why did Círdan place the palantír of Emyn Beraid on the ship that took the Three Rings away? Wasn't that a little bit selfish of the Eldar? Not to mention presumptious or cheeky... it wasn't even theirs! Surely the Heir of Elendil may have wanted to use it. It was one of only three remaining!
Perhaps when Gandalf gives the palantír of Orthanc back, his dialogue should be changed to: "Receive it, lord, in earnest of other things that will be returned. Except for that nice looking palantír up north. I've had my eye on that for years!"
So, yeah, I'm pretty bitter about everyone losing the chance to look into the Uttermost West from the Tower Hills. What's with that? That particular stone was said to look towards the Master Stone in Eldamar... so they take it to Eldamar?? To look across to the other side of town? Explanation, anyone??
