If there really is a scene like this in the movie I will be even more miffed at PJ's departures from the book. I hope Hutt River Girl is wrong!
Am I missing something? - What is so very wrong with that scene? - There are big epic battle scenes in the book... we have seen that it will be raining at Helms Deep... Aragorn got scratched in a fight... I don't see this as a huge departure... ????? What is troubling you so about this?
