one of PJ's errors at The Pelennor Fields was to not show the
banner unfolded on the lead ship and Eomer's reaction. Another was to not
have the charge begin in the dark and then have morning come.

So true, that is one of my favorite parts of the whole book. Eomer seeing the ships and thinking, oh crap, then seeing the banner unfold, is just amazing.
"Let this be the hour where were draw swords together." <<<<great line.
The misplacement of the Rohirrim charge let a whole bunch of things out of order. For instance, we don't see Eomer's command skills because Aragorn arrived hours after Theoden's death, and we miss all that "rallying" by Eomer. However, I am content with the charge as the sun is rising, it is a well placed time to add in the Rohirrim charge, eventhough I would have preferred it to be at night.

And as for the Army of the Green Slime attacking at the Pelennor Fields!

All I have to say is LOL, and this greatly diminishes the strength of Gondor. Hmm, a point of this story was to show the strength and rise of men, but yet they can't win at helm's deep without elves having to interfere, or they can't have a bunch of "green slime" save the day instead of 50 ships full of men following Aragorn.
