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

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

HC, your horror at my use of film terminology is completely justified. 'Pacing' was the wrong word for me to use. I do agree that the films flew by and that it was a great achievement.<P>What do I mean though? I do think that Helm's Deep had slightly too much time spent on it and I would rather that Frodo' capture had ended the film.<P>Helm's Deep was one chapter which was blown up to great proportions. If any one chapter could have had that treatment I'd rather it had been 'The Tower of Cirith Ungol.' I know it probably will get a fair amount of time but words really cannot describe how wonderful and it is and how important it is to get it done well.<P>Ok, so 'pacing' - bad and wrong word!
