"Mr. Frodo, by all rights we shouldn't even be here." <P>Well put.<BR>The Osgiliath scene was flawed in terms of drama and effect alike. Frodo's "seduction" could have been conveyed far better and more credible (if you will) with the scene described in the book; the passing of the black army out of Minas Morgul. Frodo fondling with the Ring and facing the Witch-King on his winged steed is over-dramatic and does not fit the flow of the story. If any story-consistent logic were to be applied, Frodo would not be able to make it one mile further once discovered.<BR>His harshness towards Sam was an anticipation of things we would not see until the very slopes of Mount Doom. It is up to the authors how to top that; I daresay it was not necessary to go that far so soon. <BR>Faramir is an entirely different story again, see there.<p>[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: Sharkû ]
