Hmmm...I smell the eerie satisfaction and convenience of Extended Edition resolution of this little problem.<P>I had always suspected that Gothmog (before seeing the movie) was not an orc. It didn't seem any orc was smart enough to be Lieutenant of Barad-dur. Plus, that particular orc happened to be the most obnoxious and ugly, though the sidestepping-the-rock thing gets him bonus points in my preverbial book.
