"If they had saved Merry and Pippin, that would have ruined everything. Essentially that is what half of the Two Towers is about... The capture of Merry and Pippen brings about Saruman's downfall (he caused his own downfall, pretty much) because it later causes the Ents to enter into the story."

That is good. I can't wait to see that.

"One reason the movie may seem to drag at the end may well be due to incredibly uncomfortable theatre seats, which I don't think are designed for sitting in for three hours straight. Bodily discomfort leads to mental unease and creates a desire to leave the discomfort, which makes the movie start to drag because your body wants out of those dang chairs..."

You could be dead on here. I saw it in Tell City. They do not have stadium seating or even a decent sound system. During some of the movie the speakers were discorting and getting feedback, plus everyone changing seating positions in squeaky seats distracted as well. I would say that seeing the movie here in Peoria may improve my view of the end of the movie.
