TolkienScribe's Scribblings  by TolkienScribe 1 Review(s)
FimbrethelReviewed Chapter: 8 on 10/18/2025
Good reason for why he stayed. And if you remember he did actually send for Elfhelm or Éomer, and even Elfhelm might have sent for Éomer too...

But did Éomer ever actually come...well, with Théoden going from Helm's Deep to Isengard I guess, but before that there had been a second battle, and Gandalf had ordered a eorot to be built. But was that a mound? Was Théodred there? The most important question is A) What exactly did Théodred mean?, and B) Where was he buried? If we consider that only the kings were buried on the road to Edoras, and that the sons of Folcwine who were killed in Gondor had a mound there, then Théodred's mound could potentially be at the Fords, but then, the movie has him on the road to Edoras, which though is probably wrong, is memorable and well known...

At least Théodred and Boromir made the last right choice and now they can meet each other in peace...and comment on the rest of the action while eating popcorn if they wish, Lol. Though they probably won't. I could see them teasing certain actions though...
