You know though.... if Shelob and Frodo's capture by the Orcs is going to happen, that means two crises AND a climax for Frodo. I assume he will have to get that done before the coronation happens... we will want him there... (and of course we have to have the war) and they will go home somehow after, and then get on the boat. I think they have to get on the boat.

Maybe they will not have Frodo captured, although I do hope they keep the bit where Frodo's mithril vest is taken. The most heartbreaking moment in the book for me is when Gandalf is shown the Mithril vest at the Black Gate. How demoralizing. I can't imagine, even if they rationally determine that it is a trick, there will be a minute where they must think all is lost. I don't know Jen.... I think there is an awful lot to cover! - I don't think Frodo got far enough in TTT!

I know what you mean. I'm not defending things. This was a great movie but.... really, not that much happened.

I assume Frodo will be captured, because they have an actor playing The Mouth of Sauron (that scrawny, weird looking Australian, who played the autogyro pilot in Mad Max). Not much point having him, if he does not have the mithril coat to taunt them with.
