The Subplot Vanishes!

[Kalimac]

This is a fairly minor topic but it's one I've been thinking about; as everyone here probably knows, the scene with Galadriel giving gifts to the entire Fellowship was cut, but will be included on the DVD. Presumably this scene will demonstrate the fact that Gloin develops what you could only call a world-class crush on Galadriel (I was actually really sorry not to see it in the movie proper, especially considering how it had been set up in the scene where he says "here's a Dwarf she won't ensnare so easily.") So I'm wondering a couple of things; first of all, since obviously you can't have Gimli threatening to kill Eomer for speaking slightingly of Galadriel in the TTT movie proper (since people who'd only seen FOTR in theaters would have no idea why he had apparently changed his mind about her just at that moment) will they just include some extra Gimli-and-Galadriel related scenes in the TTT and ROTK "special edition" DVDs? It would be a nice way to be consistent, OTOH it would be a little odd to have an Incredible Disappearing Subplot that you could presumably never be aware of unless you got the DVD.<P>Second question is more general; which subplots do you hope will be included in TTT and ROTK? And which could ones could you see cut with minimal regrets? Going on the assumption, of course, that some stuff *has* to be cut no matter how much we'd all like to see every line of Aragorn arguing with people about the proper name for athelas or kingsfoil or whatever it is. Any thoughts?
