I love the way the tall guy on Theoden's right rolls his eyes upward as the rain begins to patter on their armor. *Thanks a lot Manwe, just what we need!*<P> And of course Theoden *had* to ask; 'is this all you can muster, Saruman?'<P> What can I say. I *love* the shield boarding scene. So much for my reputation as a Tolkien purist.<P> And the Dwarf tossing thing never bothered me either. It makes sense in Middle Earth terms as well as ours so it's not like it's some kind of anachronism.<P> Every time I watch Shadowfax gallop up I find myself thinking "wasn't he supposed to be a dappled grey?" On the other hand I just *love* the shot of Shadowfax and Gandalf lambent against the rising sun. I guess I'm a cheese lover at heart.
