Don't you suppose Boromir and Denethor might have seen a king of the Arnor line as an outsider?

I agree, it's hard to expect them to be happy about the man who's going to come and take back the thing they've dedicated their lives to protecting, and relagate them back to vassaldom. Yes, theoretically they should welcome Aragorn with open arms, but you can't fault them for being a little resentful--especially of some dirty ranger out of the north. I must say again that I loved the way Sean Bean played it in the films--sometimes resentful and jealous, sometimes excited about the return of his king. I can't remember how exactly it came off in the book. Anyway, it's all a bit OT, this Boromir discussion (not saying I mind, but...). Does that mean we're all satisfied with the ring discussion? I know I've enjoyed it. Cheers!
