Knight of Gondor, I think the thing you said about them wanting you to forget about the Rohirrim (and Aragorn, as an aside) is fair. however, for the EE PJ knows it'll be hardcore fans who'll buy it, and most likely book readers. So? Well they know Theoden is on his way anyway, and no amount of film technique is going to get that out of their mind (especially because we'll all be looking forward to the Ride of the Rohirrim), so why not include Ghân-Buri-Ghân? That's my thinking, anyway. There was a semi-tribute, though. Anyone notice the stone pikka man Elrond rode past- there's an essay in Unfinished tales about how it was ME lore they could turn themselves to stone. I thought that was a nice tip of the cap.
