Thank you. 
Still not sure what to think about the Saruman scene. Voice of Saruman is one of my favorite chapters in the book, but it seems odd what they've done with it in the movie. (Fireball?) Hmm, will have to wait and see. Still looking forward to it.
Witch King scene looks to be hot sex.
Viggo's scene at the beginning of the trailer also looks great. Glad to see that Aragorn gets super pissed! (This scene will also allow the climax of the movie to make more sense and flow better as well. The way it is in the theatrical, Sauron sending his troops out to the black gate seems rushed and silly. (In the theatrical he just magically knows the men of the west are going to the black gate before they even get there))
Mouth of Sauron... oh man, this was another of my favorite chapters. Suprised by his voice, I expected it to be more high-pitched. I REALLY REALLY hope he has tons of dialogue. If he only says three of four lines before
I'm going to be really disappointed.

I never liked the trilogy that much, but I agree. Looks like Jackson dropped the ball with the threatrical release, leaving out Christopher Lee ect while including so much superflous filler bollocks. Did we really need more erotic agonising over 'Mr Frrrrrrdo' from Sam?

Well it is a Middle Earth thread. Frodo and Sam just didn't seem to go anywhere in ROTK - every time it cut back to them I just sighed, even tho they are the pivitol part of the story, because it's just the same thing again and again. Frodo growing more corrupted, Sam saying... "sigh..but Mr Frodo!".

Well, from your first post I thought you were going to go with the "LOLz frodo and sam are gh3y for eachother" argument, rather than just the fact that it bored you. The former argument always seemed so immature to me, and I have a hard time taking the opinion of anyone who brings it up seriously.
I thought the dynamic between Frodo, Sam, and Gollum was done amazingly well. I take particular offense to people who just laugh at this part of the movies, because Sam's undying loyalty and (platonic) love for his friend is practically the major theme of the entire story. And it's heartbreaking the direction things go in. Finding it repetitive is a complaint that I don't agree with but I can understand at least. However I still argue that there is a lot going on in these scenes and they are all important.
I just find it odd to say that PJ dropped the ball by having the Frodo and Sam scenes over some of the things we'll be seeing in the Extended Edition. Drama and character-development are superflous filler bollocks? The movie was already 3 hours and 20 minutes and I would not have removed a single scene. Although I'll agree that aspects of the theatrical feel incomplete especially when compared to the book, but that's a different argument from what you're focusing on.

Might have something to do with the casting, Eliah just seems so wet. I just felt they lingered on the same aspect far too much over Book 2 & 3 - of a dangerous situation and Frodo 'losing it' to the ring to dispair of Sam. It's kind of the opposite of Matrix Revolutions, where Smith doesn't get another screen time to set the situation...in ROTK they seem to get too much.
