My point about disliking this scene was not about the book at all - it was purely cinematic. The scene detracted from the drama of the city falling and Rohan coming to save it. You were suddenly drawn into a personal conflict between two protagonists and away from concerns about this brave city about to fall to the invaders. It was done so brilliantly in the cinematic version.
I swear, that EE annoys me so much I'm going to have to commit an act of apostasy and buy the original theatrical dvd...
