<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Don't know if it's an eye; it does look more like a scar to me. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>It looked like an eye to me, but it is kind of light. The Morgul blade wound is on his left shoulder and can be seen, and as for the Cave Troll wound, I do not see it, but I would think it would have to be central on him, for if the spear had hit him where the "eye" is, it would have turned him around rather than driven him back as it did. That's why I thought it was not one of those two wounds. I can't imagine why PJ would add such a thing, except to play up a conflict between Shagrat and Gorbag in the Tower perhaps, that is not shown but in brief in the theatrical version. One wonders if it will be elaborated upon in the EE though...<P>Cheers!<BR>Lyta<p>[ 12:52 PM December 28, 2003: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]
