Does anyone else hate the Rohanites? Or am I just a horrible person?

[Lalwendë]

I know what you mean Lush - watching the faces of the ordinary people - it's like watching one of those miserable Lars von Trier films where everyone goes round with a face like a slapped backside. Or like someone's about to shuffle past gnawing on a dead rat just to over-emphasise the level of misery they live in.

It doesn't work, does it?

I get the same thing when I see the dead, brown fields of Rohan they had in the film. It might be an epic landscape but it looks like it wouldn't support a Shetland pony never mind vast herds of horses!
