Welcome to the Downs, thephantomcredits! Hope you enjoy being dead!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Is the idea that sauron somehow believes Pippen has the ring in gondor a bother to anyone. This idea brings logic to Frodo and sam being seen at osgiliath with the ring by the nazgul. Is this the sole reason the eye is now focused on Hobbits in Gondor<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, the 'Pippin has the Ring' idea does slightly worry me, but I'm not sure if I agree with your theory about Frodo in Osgiliath. <P>The way I read it, Jackson's mention of Sauron thinking Pippin had the Ring provided both relief and worry about RotK for me. Relief: it sounds like PJ's going to keep the Palantir scene. Thank Eru! I was so worried he was going to cut it, but now it seems as though he's using that scene to add a Pippin subplot, which also worries me. <P>I know the idea of Sauron being aware of Pippin is touched on in the book as a result of him using the Palantir and a cause for his flee to Minas Tirith, but I'm afraid that PJ will overdo it and create a 'Sauron's-after-Pip' subplot that will last far longer than it should. Heck, he could even carry it as far as to battle at the Black Gates! Remember his 'Aragorn-is-dead' subplot from TTT? Whew. It seems far to likely to me.. but at least the Palantir scene is likely to survive the cut...<p>[ August 30, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ]
