forth now and fear no darkness!

Now is the hour come, Riders of the Mark, sons of Eorl! Foes and fire are before you, and your homes far behind. yet, though you fight upon an alien field, the glory that you reap there shall be your own for ever. Oaths ye have taken: now fulfil them all, to lord and land and league of friendship!

*

Arise, arise Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

*

You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.

*

Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!

*

Out of dark, out of doubt, to the day's rising
I rose, singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode, and to heart's breaking,
now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red nightfall.

there are a lot of things to be cynical about

but the list of showrunners supporting the wga strike makes my heart grow three sizes.

wemblee has a pretty nifty set of links explaining the reasons for the strike, as well as more news on the showrunners/producers and actors supporting it.

strike on, wga.
