Do you think it'll be included in the Extended Edition of The Two Towers?
In Tolkien's work, it seems to me that it fit perfectly. The encounter with Faramir and the Rangers of Ithilien was kind of a "makeshift Rivendell": a chance to rest, to heal, and to prepare for the hard times ahead, though of course it was far shorter than either Rivendell or Lorien. This beautiful scene fit in perfectly there, I think.
But of course, Jackson's work is something wholly different, and must be viewed separately. Of course, we all know what he did with Faramir and co., so I shan't go into detail there. But it seems to me that in this dark scene of danger and betrayal, the Window on the West would not really be appropriate, and would seem rather awkward.
What is your opinion?
