I think you're right to nitpick about the Riddermark and its armies, Findorfin. The whole thing was pretty sketchy. My main gripe is with Eomer and so many men riding off.<BR><UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>where were they going??<LI>why were they all so keen to leave Edoras undefended??</UL>Cmon, man, just because you're an extra doesn't mean you have to leave your family to get eaten by wargs while you ride "north" to nowhere with no provisions!! The more PJ tries to alter the plot, the more he loses it. As Frodo said of Bilbo's made up story about the Ring, "I found the real story to be much more believable!"
