Okay, here's what bothers me (I know, one of the many things

): When we see the Witch-King being powered up or suited up or whatever, Gandalf says, "Sauron has yet to reveal his deadliest servant." It makes it seem, to those not paying attention, or paying too much attention to their dates, that this is some new bad guy. But shortly after that, Gandalf says, "You've met him before...He stabbed Frodo on Weathertop." These two statements seems contradictory. Maybe a few more words, like, "And now he is more powerful than ever," would be helpful.

I know that many of you see this scene and say that this is evidence that the Witch-King is more powerful. But what of Gandalf in Fangorn? And a new hat doesn't impress me.

Hang on guys. We've got a few more scenes before we reach the 'My Dad's bigger than your Dad' argument we're gonna have (again!) regarding Gandalf and the Witch King!

Note that, for THE SCENE, I've considered just linking to the thread that discusses the same, as I'm guessing that I haven't much more to say, and nothing to unsay.

fair point, but we're also discussing here the merits of cinematography, music etc - not just the blasphemy that took place on this scene

I will try to remove the blinders from my eyes. We'll see how it goes. I'll drink a few cups of 'Calm' and up the dose of Tylenol.

Did anyone else want to see the Witch-King, as he prepared for the ultimate battle, don goggles with his flight helmet?
