It didn't really make a warrior as much as a fast rider. After all, she didn't fight in that seen, she just brought out the sword to lure the Nazgul into the river.

Yes but, Glorfindel had a key role in the council too, and though it wouldn't allow for character development due to the closeness of his appearances, it would certainly be an achievable prospect. Maybe a camio in the last film to :P joking lol.

Your probably right, i just think he was a really interesting character to leave out, and it wouldn't have been a "bad move" to include him - its not quite like the Bombadil sequence, which, fantastic as it is, may appear like somewhere the Hobbits go after too much "leaf".
