Well the original plan was to keep the same thread all the way through, but I think there are a few reasons to start a new one...

The thread got off the a rough start in the new forum getting moved half-way through... We might pick up some new posters by starting a new thread, and the original rules should be loosened a bit. Section-type format with broader discussion, not so particular about spoilers if it makes sense to tie an event to another later in the story, encourage topical posting of TTT pics as they come out, like we started doing at the end of FoTR...

As reported on TORN...

Extra 30 minutes DVD has been completed
5/30/02, 9:53 pm EST - Tehanu

A mysterious email arrived from NZ with no details other than "There has been a very limited screening of the 30min plus FOTR DVD." [Screened for who, the people who made it? Industry insiders? - T.] "Interesting to know it has all been completed, makes the wait harder."

Of course the dreamers already knew this...

I was always amused about the idea of 'spoilers'. I mean, most of the folks on this thread have read the trilogy at least once, if not multiple times! How can ANYTHING be a spoiler?
