Nope. Tom has been a bit too ridiculous for me and I think the whole Old Forest sequence are the biggest indicators that Tolkien started LOTR not really knowing what he was doing with it and that it was originally intended to be a children's book like The Hobbit. I do miss the whole barrow-wight sequence though - that would have been amazing to see on-film.

I liked the section, but just not as part of the book. If it had been in an anthology like "The Tales of Frodo Baggins Before His Big Adventure" or something like that then I'd have loved it. Just not as part of LotR, IYSWIM?

Yes, precisely. The barrow-wight scene would have rocked and was ever so much better than, "Here, Frodo, have a knife." The blades found in the barrow had a history and the flashbacks to the first age would have been awesome.
