The Extended Edition of TTT has a lot of interview with Phillipa, one of the 3 writers of the films. She's pretty forthright in explaining why they made the plot changing decisions, and for the most part, her explanations are pretty satisfying. I don't envy her task of trying to distill these great books into a watchable set of movies.
