I loved Eowyn and Merry- the connection between the two (how their fighting abilities were doubted by their friends) brought them together so well for the audience, we could feel for them and their situation. I'm glad that Eowyn got the screen time she deserved (and needed). The killing of the witchking was great. When they introduced it at first while emerging with the army of orcs going to the battle, I had the most intense feeling of hate and dread. Very well done. I think the slaying could have been more powerful if Eowyn had suffered more.
