I think the third eagle was flying as the bodyguard to pick off any remaining bad guys who might attack. Since the other two eagles were carrying Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf, their first priority would have been the safety of their passengers.

See, that was lovely the first time. Now, though, I can't help myself think: "Flowers? What are they going to do, sneeze at the Orcs? Give them extrs arrows, or a small axe! Something useful!"
I have a very strange sense of human, sometimes. I understand why they did it, and it is a moving scene... I just can't help that little, irritating, voice in my head sometimes.

Is it just me or did anyone think of a spotlight or lighthouse when the eye had a stream of light coming from it. I swear it looks just like a lighthouse. It looked cheesy.

Did you notice all the extras were the same? There was the same old woman from the caves, in the SAME outfit watching Faramir and the other soldiers were riding out to Osgilith. Peter Jacksons children were there too, and I'm pretty sure that they aren't hobbits travelling abroad!

Peter Jackson's children were violating some sort of child labor laws. They were in every shot. I half expected them to pop up on Mt. Doom and look winsome.

Actually, Peter Jackson and his kids make cameo appearances in every one of the movies (FOTR, TTT and ROTK) and they didn't look like hobbits in Minas Tirith .... k, just for the record, can you all remember PJ and his kids appearances in all three movies?
I can

I guess I didn't word that quite right. I knew PJ's kids had been in all of the movies (Hmm I can't find them in TTT) I just kind of find it a little confusing sometimes. I mean I know both of thier parents were involved in the movie in a big way, I'm just saying it gets a little too repetitive extra wise.

They are in Helm's Deep's caves.
Anyway I think its cool. Viggo's son is also an extra ... and Sean A.'s daughter is also there. In a movie of those dimensions, where your parents work there all the time for a couple of years ... I would do it too, as a parent 
It is also fun for the kids, later, I guess ...

It wasn't just the parents, Elijah Wood's little sister was also in the Glittering Caves. She was also an extra at the post-war party of the Rohirrim.

I must admit that I like the cameos. I don't find them obtrusive or distracting, and they just roll by if you don't know who they are. And for the fans, it's a nice wink to catch them

I never got the whole 'sending sam home' thing...
I mean... Osgilliath has been taken, and so has Ithillien... They walked through swamps of which only Gollum knows the way, through the woods over that river where no boats lay, into Lothloriën where they'll be like: what the f*** are you doing here you fat moron? Through Moria where he gets eaten by millions of maggots and orcs...
Then through the locked door of Moria, through to Rivendell where he can help Elrond pack his cosmetics,
back through Bree where they'll be like: "hey, ain't that the fat bastard that those black dudes came hunting don last time, you know, when hey ruined this place?"
Home to the Shire where it'll be like: "Hi Sam, nobody cares about where the others are, you know, we love you best.... now garden my garden?"
I mean.... For real... What were they thinking???? |

Yes, but bear in mind that Sam was in a very bad place in various ways that you look at it. I mean, he had no food (poor Hobbit!), little water, hardly any sleep, he's in Mordor, and his best friend just completely betrayed him. It would send you a little mad, wouldn't it? Would you be thinking sense? I know I wouldn't!
Now, I don't like that section, because I think that Sam would never have left Frodo. The point is, though, I understand why the film makers put it in, because it makes sense within the context of the movie. (At least to me.)
*hugs Sam* There, there, dear.
