Removed this; it's more of a Pragmatic Adaptation along the lines of removing Ending Fatigue. And the Hobbits had to earn their ending in the books anyway; the only part that could be considered a downer was kept.
- In the Peter Jackson films of The Lord of the Rings:
- In Return of the King the Scouring of the Shire is not included. In the books, the sequence shows that the Shire was far from untouched by the war. Saruman, who everyone thought was finished as a threat, has taken control of the Shire with his remaining human agents, despoiling it and imposing tyranny on the hobbits. The sequence was primarily cut because the films focused more on the War of the Ring, and by the time they would've got to it, the movie was already 3 1/2 hours long, and finished with its big climax.

Shouldn't this be more properly named "Happily Ever Until"?

(37)Since Nicanor's doings ended in this way, with the city remaining in possession of the Hebrews from that time on, I will bring my own story to an end here too. (38)If it is well written and to the point, that is what I wanted; if it is poorly done and mediocre, that is the best I could do. ... (39d) Let this, then, be the end.
I have a candidate for a quote for this page. 2 Maccabees 15:37-38,39d

And there were only two, not six. All potholes mine, BTW. Also, found only in Catholic and Orthodox versions.
