When I saw Eowyn lift Merry up onto her horse and his line of 'My lady,' I immediatly thought back to the book about how he and all others were decieved. Immeadiately after that, though, I thought, 'Could Peter Jackson really make it believable that Merry couldn't tell that this warrior was Eowyn in such short time? Nope.' I was very satisfied with it.<P>I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with the death of the Witch King. I would've much more enjoyed seeing both her and Merry nearly die from the shock of their blows and then gone to the Houses of Healing, which enhanced Eowyn and Faramir's roles, of course, but also Aragorn's. We all would've loved it, but there was no time.<P>Lastly, I'm glad they didn't push things with Faramir. They gave us *only* that last shot, of which I think no one but readers of the book knew the meaning. If PJ had tried to put them together in such short time, it would've been a disaster. I think her character, though much different from that in the book, was wonderful. I certainly enjoyed it.
