Hopefully that will set the stage for RotK, where she'll have it re-forged, and get it to Aragorn before the Battle of Pellenor Fields.

I have only seen the extended FotR once (plan on watching it again this weekend) but I remember one of the new scenes revolving around the sword, so it makes sense, since it'll be so important in RotK.

That's the really funny thing about the Extended Edition. You almost HAVE to see it in order for parts of The Two Towers to make sense.

I can see someone watching The Two Towers, having not seen the EE, saying:

"Wait a minute, where'd Sam get the rope from, and why does it burn Gollum?"

"What did Gimli pull out of the Orc-fire? A belt? Why is that important?"

"What did Frodo mean when he said that Gandalf had said, 'Smeagol's story is a sad one.'?"

"Secondly, who is Smeagol? I thought he was called Gollum?"

LOL

Having watch the EE several times, it must have absolutely KILLED Jackson to cut some of those scenes...especially the gift-giving scene in Lorien.
