Breaking of the Fellowship
At Parth Galen, Frodo and Sam go to Morrrdorr, Merry & Pippen "decide" to visit Isengard. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli have to decide which direction to go.
The decision in the book, we all know, is that A, L, G follow M&P. There are many reasons pro and con. But since the Quest to destroy the OneRing is the most important TBD in all of ME, this decision always bothered me. JRRT, of course, brilliantly devised his story to proceed from this decision. But on the grounds of the internal logic of the story do you feel the decision should have been: 1. just as in the book. 2. A,L,G should have followed F&S to give every advantage to the Quest which had over-riding importance. 3. A,L,G should have split, some going one way, some going the other. (wish I could post a poll!)
