Yeah, that is a bit wrong when you think about it. Unfortunately I have lent out my copy of TTT, so I can't check it by the text.<P>And I'm with you on the Ent's characters being compromised by them deciding not to go to war. The worst part of the whole thing is when Treebeard gets to Isengard and sees the destruction there. First, he reacts like he had no idea! Yeah, some tree sheppard And then he lets out a scream, and suddenly every Ent from here to Timbucto appears, and all ready for fighting! Am I supposed to believe that they all just happened to be standing 20 feet deep in the forest?<P>Why Jackson couldn't just have them decide to go to war and march together to Isengard is beyond me. Just another example of him, Fran, and Philippa deciding they can do Tolkien better than Tolkien, I guess <P>[ August 30, 2003: Message edited by: Elfstone ]<p>[ September 01, 2003: Message edited by: Elfstone ]
