Pippin's Sixth Sense

[engwaalphiel]

Good point Kalimac ,
I felt that also . At first it may seem that it is Pippin's relative youth to the rest of the fellowship , but I have the same inkling that it runs a lot further than just his curiousity.

Tolkien describes how their eyes meet and how there seems to be sort of connection or understanding between them

This is where Pippin's journey really came into light with me . From innocent curiousity of the shire to an understanding / connection with Denethor is a long way to come. The turning point for pippin was looking into the palantir in my view. The shock that hit him was almost a shock of realisation of what was happening and from then on he "grew up ".
Also as said in the Pippin's foolish stone thread , he was a Took and took's were adventurous so and so's perhaps the knowledge of journey of the years was somehow in pippin's blood. Again we may be reading in too far but you never know .
