[The Saucepan Man]

I have noticed that a lot of people say that the charge of Eomer, Gandalf and the Rohirrim 7th cavalry down the hill at the end of Helm's Deep is one of their favourite scenes. Personally, I have my reservations.<P>Granted, the sun had just risen over the hill, blinding the Orcs, but surely Shadowfax and the rest of the front-line attack's horses would have been impaled on those pikes. All the Orcs had to do was keep them in position, and it's Shadowfax kebabs for lunch.
