EE SPOILERS
Tuor

All right, you asked for it, but I figured I should at least warn people. I guess it's not that big of a deal, but maybe some people want to be surprised.

The key scenes I saw were:

One we all knew was in already, part of the exchange between Gandalf and Saruman, and Saruman shoots some crazy fireball thing from his staff.

Aragorn confronting Sauron through the Palantir. Though something I just noticed is WHERE he's confronting him: in the Minas Tirith throne room, using a Palantir sitting next to the Steward's seat. Hmm...

What I presume are the Houses of Healing, with Faramir sweet-talking Eowyn.

An appearance by the Mouth of Sauron. "I have a token I was bidden to show thee." Pippin: "Frodo!" If you've seen the ROTK video game, that's pretty much what he looked like. But with very interesting dental hygiene.

And lastly, an encounter between Gandalf and the Witch-King. The Witch-King draws his sword, which then starts flaming? I didn't know he had a flaming sword, but hey, whatever.

And I think that's all that was teased, except for some more battle scenes and other hooey.
