Estel, I didn't remember that scene, but I'm sure you're right. "Foul craft" is a good phrase... But it would have been more memorable if Gandalf had explained something at a time when they were actually faced with the Uruks. <P>Peony, that's exactly my point! In terms of effective horror, the things people would imagine from that dialogue are actually nastier than the slimepit scene that was shown, and also more psychologically subtle. <BR>The slimepit was a bit childish I thought.
