Karl Urban rocks...his Eomer rocks...they didn't have to cut him out of Helm's Deep...if they wanted some exposition of the Theoden storyline, they could have had the riders come upon Aragorn and Co., then to Edoras and all that's happening there, then Eomer shows up, then he's imprisoned, then Aragorn and Co. show up, then Theoden comes to his senses, then Eomer is released, then he's at Helm's Deep. This banishment stuff is for the birds...I wanted to see the relationship between Eomer and Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas in the film. I wanted to see Aragorn and Eomer charging into the throng of orcs side by side. Oh well. I hope they let Karl have some screen time in ROTK...maybe he'll get to actually fight a little in the Pelennor.
