In amongst all this nitpicking, (well said Mr Saucepan!), I watched the scenes yet again tonight - I was drawn to the encompassing point (the reason maybe) for of all this tension that has been racked up - It's when Frodo says "what must I do" AND HE GRASPS THE RING. HE CLAIMS THE RING THERE AND THEN. This is what all the scenes have been building up to. Frodo claiming the Ring, and the start of the Quest. (I now realise why Jackson had movie Frodo keep the Ring in the Chest - he did not want him to claim it until this point)

You can see Gandalf's reaction after this - He is proud, and grateful that Frodo has finally realised the danger his land is under, and sees that Frodo has taken it on himself.

What must I do - One of the best lines in the movie (and it wasn't even a Tolkien line was it??!!! Sacre Bleu!)

Anyway, what a wonderful piece of work Jackson has done with these scenes to get us to this point.
