Slaying of the Witch King... with a Noldoring dagger????? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One point occurs to me, though.<P>As I recall, Galadriel's gift giving session was in the extended edition (addition?) of FotR, not the theatrical version of the film. So, unless some point is made about this dagger being a gift from Galdriel in RotK (which I doubt), why bother playing it up in the theatrical version of this film? <P>I suspect that (in the theatrical version at least) nothing will be made of the dagger that Merry uses to stab the Witch-King. It will simply cause him a moment of hesitation allowing Eowyn to make her fatal strike.
