Welcome to the Downs, Darby! Enjoy being dead.<P>I got so angry when I heard this, but I completely forget where: PJ said that Saruman was supposed to have died at the end of TTT! I think it was on one of the threads here, because I remember posting about it. But really! That would have been....AARRGH!!<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I just hated it when the peak of the war gets to audience, and makes me cry and then suddenly...Gimli squeezes in a punchline that ruins everything! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I know, Cinderella! I was loving every minute of Helm's Deep, and I wanted it to be really serious, but then Gimli had to go and make it funny.<P>Don't even get me started on the Aragorn-cliff scene. I thought the whole thing was completely pointless. They didn't even get attacked by Wargs in the books, did they? They could have just not put that in and NOT have put in all the Arwen-Aragorn makeout scenes, and used the time for Frodo and Sam in Shelob's lair. Same thing with the whole Osgiliath deal: the time could have been used to meet Pippin and Merry.
