[Boromir88]

Yes, Tuor, and I love the scene in Lorien where Boromir talks about the situation in Gondor, and then that uplifting music begins to play.

Merry and Pippin: I really enjoyed the scenes with Merry and Pippin. I think Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd added a light touch to otherwise grim scenes and that their chemistry was just another reason why the movie is such a classic.

A fine point Bungo, and I think their characters up to the point where they seperate at Rohan, only makes that scene more emotional.

Denethor and Faramir: I love this not only because it was protrayed brilliantly by the actors but because it also helps explain the deviaition from the story that happened in TTT

Another fine point, we truly get to see Denethor's favoritism, and as you said it does help us understand why Faramir took the ring to Osgiliath.Arwen and

Aragorn: Mostly just 'cause I'm a sucker for cheesy/ beautiful romantic scenes, but there is something compelling about this relationship. I suppose because it's timeless, full of hope in times of despair and because it's desperately tragic. *cries then starts singing* someday my prince will come!

I've come to accept everything that's happened between these two, except for the part where Arwen is dying, and her fate is tied to the ring. That is a bit over the top, but the whole telepathically cybering, and Glorfindel-role-reversal, I've come to accept.

I also love the Eowyn and Eomer pairing. With the added scene of having him find her on the battle field you get to see even more what it is like for them as brother and sister

That is my favorite added scene from the EE, Karl Urban did great. I also love how they have Eomer "threaten" Grima, with the... "To long have you punished my sister, too long have you haunted her steps," instead of in the books, Gandalf. It means much more to me hearing Eomer say it, instead of Gandalf.
