I've got work to do!First off, I don't want to come off like I think I have the definitive truth. I just want to illustrate the basis for my opinion. Okay, I don't know how complicated the situation in the movie is because we can only judge it by what is presented. The situation in Rohan is obviously not the same situation in the book, so we can make assumptions, but we have little verifiable facts.I've only seen the movie once, but I recall Aragorn mentioning Gondor and Theoden raises his voice, saying how Gondor ignored Rohan while their villages were burned and their people killed (I'm paraphrasing, anyone who can quote verbatim, jump in, may clear up a lot of things). He doesn't say "I never asked, but they should have come" or anything like that, so I'm just going by what he says.My mention of petulance had more to do with my perception of his tone than the words he used.And it could be fatalism, but he also believes that no one can breach the walls of Helm's Deep, and is quite stunned when that very thing happens.Okay, I have to get to work.</blockquote>
