Response to Everett
Lem

I completely agree about Eomer! in the movies he basically stands around frowning all the time. he's portrayed like some type of officer rather than as you said, eloquent, witty, etc. I was upset by this, as well. In the movies, you see a close relationship between Theoden and Eowyn, but little interaction is shown between Theoden and Eomer, except battle scenes. I can see how more characters might confuse the general public, but really. It may have been less confusing to increase his role rather than decrease it.

Ah, well. Everything can't be perfect.
