And she managed to waddle her way from danger as her town was being burned and pillaged? I am impressed. And Eowyn hardly seems like the midwife type, but it is still better than the plan to have Arwen miraculously show up at the Battle of Helm's Deep.

But to the original topic at hand...any soldier of Rohan is worthwhile. Sure they hardly speak, but maybe that's why I like them. Those little Rohan children would have more of my pity if they didn't have any speaking lines. In fact the whole scene would have been better with music and no speaking. It could show the plight of the Rohanites without giving them a word edgewise.

Personally I'm more annoyed by the scene where Aragorn does a bit of sword play with the young Rohan soldier who seems to have soiled his armor.
