whoops! silly me, I've probably blanked that scene out as it's one of the changes that really bugs me inasmuch as it's Aragorn's idea to ride out, not theoden's. I always remember this from the book (and in particular the bakshki cartoon) where we can see Aragorn, the soon to be King of Gondor, agreeing to a certain death in the aid of Theoden King. It also shows Theoden's stance that he will not give in to the orcs, not just him to agreeing to a request from Aragorn.
sorry for hijacking your thread, Eomer.
