Since Gandalf is my favorite character, I've always disliked that scene. They should have made it like it was in the book, with the Witch-King flying off to fight the Rohan soldiers before any fighting between him nd Gandalf started. In fact, I always leave the room at that scene even when I saw it when it was back in theaters. I think another reason they did it was to make the odds against good seem even more hopeless, but I still think that they should not have done that scene like that.

A continuing vexation over the seeming lack of reverance shown by Galadriel to Gandalf, despite her knowledge of what he is and her high esteem of him. I hope they will rectify this in the coming films.

I was actually suggesting that the seating denoted an honouring of the Istari, not the Elves.

Elrond knew. Cirdan and Glorfindel knew. Others of the Eldar may have guessed, but they did not definitively know until the end of The Third Age.
