I just finished re-reading that chapter in TTT and I was thinking the same thing. I thought Grishnak was a clever Orc and he wasn't really given the credit in the movie. That whole part in the books shows that not all Orcs are stupid, but how smart Merry and Pippin are. I suppose it would be one of those "important, but not so important we need to include it" scenes. Oh well, it would have been nice to have at least one Orc that wasn't completely mindless.
