LOL! That does kind of disrupt the dramatic tension, doesn't it?--kind of like if Tolkien had interrupted the Battle of Pelennor Fields to insert a scene with Farmer Giles of Ham :)
"Meanwhile, Farmer Giles' seedlings were washed away in a deluge, a racoon had kilt his chickens, and his children were crying for eggs for their breakfast. He had aphids in his peppers and his flowers were dying."
