Theoden's Exorcism

[The Only Real Estel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Any Rohirrim with half a brain should be glad to see Gandalf and Co. coming to the aid of Theoden!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, but any Rohirrim with even meager loyalties would come to the Kings aid (I would hope) when it seemed he was in pain. Plus they have no idea that Saruman is possesing him, therefore how would they know what Gandalf was doing?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The part with Aragorn stopping the Theoden with Wormtongue at least needs to be fleshed out more in the EE. As it is, Theoden's just woke up from Evil Wizard induced dementia....how does he even know who Aragorn is, let alone respect his judgement! The "casting out" of Grima would seem to be an internal affair, for the Rohirrim.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> True. Although Aragorn forecfully stopped him, so naturally the King was going to see who did it at first. Then Wormtounge bolted, so he didn't have a second chance at it. But I see what you mean.
