Not 17 per se but some time passing is important because as it currently sits I still feel that only a small amount of time has passed. This creates great confusion for many because they just see Gandalf leave quickly read some papers and return, meanwhile the Nazgul leave Mordor and arrive in the Shire. It simply doesn't make sense and there is no continuity. This could have been alleviated had we merely known that sometime passes and Gandalf needed to depart immediately while Frodo should leave soon. I still look and wonder why it was more important for Gandalf to run off to Saruman then help two defenseless hobbits carry out the most important task of the third age?!?!
