Mad Baggins, one point I feel I must make: <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It kind of made me think, Wow...they thought that they would all get through this okay <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I've got to disagree. I found that scene so amazingly emotional because at no point in the quest was there ever really any real hope of success, 'Only a fool's hope' as Gandalf says to Pip. I thought it was so beautiful because finally, they were all back together, but they had all changed beyond what they could ever have imagined- beautifully captured in the look between Frodo and Sam right at the end of that scene. Looks are so important, you're completely right Essex.
