Meela has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

If I were Peter Jackson, I would leave the full 'encounter with Haldir scene' in the extended version. They cut it down to just "the dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark", but they could have gotten away with leaving the whole speech in, plus the extra scene upon the flet.<P>I would have given Eomer more theatrical screen time. He is brilliant but too little used for such a major character.<P>Everything else was just peachy. Although they could have reduced Arwen's interaction by a fraction. She was over-used for such a minor character, although everything they included involving her was perfect, especially the scene with Elrond telling her her fate. That was one of the main reasons I kept going back to see the film so many times, so I would hate to see it cut.
