[The Saucepan Man]

I understand that this Tolkien chap was originally going to have Aragorn as a clog wearing Hobbit named Trotter! Can you believe it?

Thankfully, word got out, outraged Jackson fans posted their opposition on internet forums and chat sites in their thousands and Tolkien, bowing to the pressure, re-wrote the character to accord much more with Jackson's original. He still didn't get him quite right, though. I mean, what's with Aragorn carrying around some broken old sword when eveyone knows that the shards of Narsil were kept at Rivendell and were not reforged as Anduril until after the Battle of Helm's Deep!!?
