I wonder if the one Faramir shot in Osgiliath ended up dying. Possibility? Or Sauron kept one back as a personal guard to his tower

Oh yeah, yet another way for the invincible named characters to take the action away from the rank-and-file.

ah ha!

This ties in with my post the other day defending (somewhat) jackson having Frodo show the Ring to the Nazgul and fell beast at Osgiliath.

I surmised that the reason Sauron does not find out that a Hobbit has the Ring in Osgiliath is that Faramir shot down the fell beast and it's Rider was therfore riderless and unable to quickly return to Mordor to inform Sauron of the news.

This ties in with 7 nazgul at the black gate.

He did, but I'm talking about the movies, where just about all of the secondary characters (like Beregond) were eliminated.

yeah but then you'd have about 500 characters in the film and this just wouldn't work for the average movie goer, and even die hard book readers might have problems remembering who's who when it comes to secondary characters.

Oh get real. there would only be 8 to 10 minor characters to keep track of.
