The "wrong side of the river" thing is a problem, isn't it? It didn't occur to me when I was watching the film.<P>I have read that the extended version of TTT will explain this by having Faramir take Frodo and Sam through Osgiliath's sewer system so as to enable them to carry on their journey east. Which begs the question: Why not take his entire army through the sewer system and attack the orcs from the rear?
