>Except when he leads an cavalry charge RIGHT INTO a massed formation of pikemen. Uh. Ok. I mean, sure, HE'S a wizard riding a magical horse and all, but those billion other Rohirrim *aren't*. And anyway, we're talking about different scenes. The first Gandalf scene was ruling. I guess I'm talking about his SECOND return. ;-) Despite that one glaring bit of stupidity, that scene rocked though. Although how did Eomer's contingent of Rohirrim grow from the dozen we see initially into an entire fricking army?
