The Scouring of the Shire -- Why Not???

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Concerning pacing however, I think that Jackson's pacing has been dubious throughout the trilogy. I don't think that he should have spent so much time on Helm's Deep for one thing. I think The Two Towers should have ended with Frodo's capture by the Orcs.<P>I would have liked to see enough time given to the events at the end of the book, rather than see them treated as an afterthought. Now, I agree that it would have been bold for Jackson to try the Scouring. I think it would work. Some of you clearly think that it would be a bad idea. But I have nothing new to add to my side so I'm just going to look forward to the film.
