The more I think about this, the more I don't mind it. Just so the story isn't re-written around her, I think there is room to include additional characters.

Especially when we keep in mind that Tolkien was writing a book in the 1930's and Jackson is making a movie in the 2010's. In the former, it's quite excusable (esp given the genre and traditional roles) to omit a strong female character of this type. In the latter - it's much harder to do so.

And YES, Ngila Dickson is a bloody genius. No, she really is. A genius. The Real Thing.
