but i understand the osgilliath thing insofar as he wanted to a) show frodos fraility compared to the ring and how powerful it is as well as showing sauron amassing his forces, but it was really offbook that part of it without needing to be, plus far as i remember the eastern shores arent taken until sauron begins his assault which doesnt happen till a bit lateron

Grungi, your term "offbook" is great I think I'll adopt it, if you've no objections. As far as Osgiliath is concerned it seems to me that in the book Sauron's forces controlled and maintained a small garrison on the eastern shore of Osgiliath for an indeterminate amount of time prior to Frodo's arrival at Henneth Annun, could be wrong though.
