I didn't want to give anything away, but then I suppose it does say 'spoilers' on the thread title so it should be okay. Basically if you don't want to know what's in the EE, don't read this.
Out of the extra scenes, I will try to remember. There was a nice scene between Faramir and Pippin in Minas Tirith, talking about Pippin's little Gondorian uniform. Really sweet.
The bit with Saruman and Grima at Orthanc was sort of a re-working of the scene in the Scouring of the Shire with Frodo, but it was Theoden calling to Grima to turn on Saruman. They could have done that a bit better, IMO, because it was a bit short, but it was good to actually see some closure for those characters finally. There was lots more Eomer battle scenes, just little short shots here and there, but it kept me happy.
Didn't like the extra Denethor scenes though. I can see NancyBrooke and several others getting a bit heated about the portrayal in one particular bit with him. Although on a plus point, they had a sort of 'vision' of Boromir standing smiling behind Faramir, and Sean Bean looked gorgeous, so that sort of made up for a little bit.

SPOILERS BELOW
For anyone who has watched the EE ....
I saw the scene at Orthanc on the Internet. I was not impressed with Saruman's fireball. It wasn't up to WETA standards. Was it better on the DVD? Nor was I overly happy with Aragorn beheading the Mouth of Sauron. I'm really looking forward to the Houses of Healing scene. Please, tell me they did that properly. Faramir and Eowyn are my favorite characters. |

My copy did turn up today, now I just have to find some time to watch it (may stay up all night if I don't get drunk at the end of term party).
For those who want more info, my contribution is the scene list for the film:

MORE SPOILERS
I had a picture somewhere of Aragorn with Faramir in the Houses of Healing, but it wasn't in the film. He just did Eowyn. In a Healing sense.
With Faramir and Eowyn I just thought it all happened a little quickly.

I'm doing a little stompy dance cuz we have to wait four more days. Aol shows a scene of the mouth of Sauron. The little nuance of him and Aragorn scowling at each other is hilarious, but now I'm so worried, is Frodo really dead???? That was scary.  |

The Mouth of Sauron definitely needs to get a dental plan and one of those new sonic plaque removers.  Thought he was quite gross, but I suppose that's what they were going for. Needless to say 'my' Mouth of Sauron (in my imagination, where I am ruler and all must obey  ) he looks 'somewhat' different. 
He sounded very Mediterranean though. Very cool accent.

Yeah, but it did in the book too. One minute, Eowyn is a kick ass shieldmaiden, and the next she's in love.

I also was little puzzled about his appearance. I mean, his only job is to talk. You'd think he would get a toothbrush. |

Well, they wanted to make the Mouth of Sauron evil like, and that's what evil can do, you know? When I looked at the clip of him being beheaded by Aragorn, I don't see no problem with that at all...he's a king, but he's also human. If I were in his shoes, listening to the MoS speaking about a friend who was 'killed', I would have enough of that talk too, and would give him a swift justice to prove to Sauron that I mean business.
Am I making any sense or am I babbling again?

[Faramir and Eowyn - what really happened]
Faramir: You kill the Witch King?
Eowyn: Yeah
Faramir: Cool... Do you have a boyfriend?
Eowyn: Yes, you know that handsome ranger who's about to be king? He's allllll mine.
Faramir: You're talking out of your ass. He loves that elf-chick. But hey, thats alright. Want to get married?
Eowyn: Nothing better to do.
Always thought that was a queer little relationship :p

Well, it's 2.30 in the morning... but I've found it!
(The Legolas scene).
It's on disk 5, in the documentary "From Book to Script: forging the final chapter", in Chapter 6... and it shows "what happened to Legolas", so it's presumably South Ithilien.
The screen shots don't do it justice. His costume is beautiful - rather more elaborate than the usual elven costumes & very distinctive - his hair is loose and he's looking up at the trees, full of joy & wonder... No sea longing here!

We love your babble though!
The scene with the mouth of Sauron was awesome. It should have been left in!! In my opinion Aragorn killed him because of what he was saying plus he told him that he needed more than an Elvish weapon to be King. So Aragorn felt the need to show him what his Elvish weapon could do.
 Man, does that sound sexual or is it just me??? There are a couple of weapons I would like to see what they can do.
