How do *you* want it to end? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is a very interesting thread, arianrod , and the question is certainly one I have often pondered. I would strongly dislike an ending that did not include the Grey Havens at all, but since Peter Jackson has assured us that it <I>will</I> in fact end with the Grey Havens, I do not fear a Disney-like ending with Aragorn's crowning. I would very much like to see a bit of the journey on the boat that sets out from the Grey Havens, perhaps even ending with the light of Eressea emerging out of the thick mist and beautiful Elvish music. It would also be nice to have the final scene be Sam taking the journey over the sea. There are so many great possibilities, and I can only hope that Peter Jackson has devoted more thought to the ending than <I>any other aspect</I> of the trilogy.
