It gives us a reason to show 1/ Gandalf is in charge now 2/ pippin is tempted by the palantir<P>now we won't see Gandalf's change in power and we will have a lame**** reason for Pippin picking up the palantir. 'ooh, look what I'VE found.' This is a key part of the plot and will have to be fiddled with, especially as jackson tells us it's in the ee.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> and in the end only serves to distract the non-initiated viewer away from the story in King.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Why do we always diss the movie going public whop haven't read the book? Why do we always think they are stupid. purleasse, give them SOME modicum of intelligence. I told my wife (who hasn't read the books) that saruman wouldn't be in it, and she was pretty miffed that he wasn't.<P>Again, one of my main moans is that christopher lee won't have a shot at a best supporting actor.....
