Dom gives some pretty good spoilers here. http://www.iansmith.co.uk/lotr/August3.htm

Here's a little bit:

The last question asked was about Dom's favourite scene in all three movies. "I don't want to spoil it but Merry's main link is Pippin. In the third movie they go their separate ways, which is quite sad. The pinnacle of Merry is when he finally comes back again and sees Pippin. If they had been together they would have been OK. But because they've been split up they're both heavily traumatised. When they meet they don't recognise each other. Pippin has to explain who he is and Merry needs his friend from The Shire to bring him back. And they're both men now and they hug and kiss. It's beautiful"

Interesting quote. I have always thought that the separation of Merry and Pippin, and their very different experiences in Rohan and Gondor, brought them a new maturity and individuality only symbolized by their increased stature.

I did read it, and it does seem like an interesting take on it. How fun that will be to see how the end will be!

To some degree it makes it more exciting that PJ is changing the scouring. We really don't know how exactly it is gonna end!
