Elianna: Very good about BB's comment. I must have subconsciously
recalled that comment (one of the kinds of nice bits which do recur in the movies).
And isn't it noteworthy how much generally superior bits of LOTR book are
to PJ's scripwriters additions/changes generally (although, of course,
many are understandably needed.

Also, it could have been a nice, brief emotional moment if Halbarad joined
Aragorn at Helm's Deep and was killed at the P.F. or at the Black Gate
protecting Aragorn from attack, with A. getting choked up over it.
(Of course, "There's no crying in Middle-earth battles!")

(Unless your uncle gets killed leading a cool charge, even if you then get
to be king). Woo, hoo!
