New Year's Eve was uneventful. I spent it watching Return of the King: EE. Wonderful movie, and it has converted me into a ravening Eomer fangirl. Screw the willowy elf; I want the Rohirrim. He was so manly and rugged without being grotty. Oh, baby. Looking at him, I wondered why hordes of squeeing, wet-pantied fangirls haven't penned reams of bad Eomer fic. After all, he's single in canon, no? Think of the legions of Xena/She-Ra-esque Sues waiting to arise from the sugary morass of the fangirl mind. And no one would have to be bumped off in order to accommodate the Sue. Well, maybe Eowyn, since she would likely defend her brother unto the death...
My favorite Eomer scene was the one where he discovered Eowyn on the battlefield. That was some heroic bellowing from Karl Urban. And hurrah for realistic crying with snot and blotchy face.
I do have a question, though. I am aware that Saruman's death was Movie!Canon, but why would Legolas shoot Grima after he stabbed Saruman? Why not haul him down and make him tell you what Sauron was up to? That bit made no sense to me. Otherwise, I loved the additions.
