    Yeah... In the FOTR commentary, Jackson says that he thought it would be 'silly' for him to be carrying a broken blade around for two and a half movies.

    Which was fine with me, until I read the book and saw that the blade was re-forged at the Council of Elrond, before the bulk of the journey began.
