Has anyone else noticed that PJ has been completely screwing with the time in TTT movie.<BR>I mean Frodo, Sam and Gollum are stuck at March 11 at the end of the movie, the Ents, Merry and Pippin are at the 3 March, and Theoden, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are on the 4 March.<BR>Why couldn't PJ have skipped the pointless scenes like the part where Aragorn "Dies" (everyone knows you can't kill him off because of the title of the third movie) and instead brought the Ents and Theoden's army up to speed with Frodo and co. with the time that they would have saved...it also would give us one less thing to rant about!

On <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001735" TARGET=_blank>this thread</A>, HCIsland tells us about the timeline he attempted to draw up for the Two Towers movie. Obviously, PJs timeline is vastly different to the book because of the (ill-advised) changes that were made.
