Greetings, Saucepan Man! (Is it ok if I leave off the "The"?) Maybe I should have said "All he does in the third book is *fight with dad*, get shot, spend a lot of time unconscious..." On the Merry/Pippin spoilers thread someone quoted (I think Philippa?) as saying that the theme of RotK is "fathers and sons" and I can't really think of any other father/son combo except the Ruling Stewards. (I guess Merry's line to Theoden "As a father you shall be to me" might count.) That makes me hopeful Faramir will do more in the movie than I've given him credit for in the book. More (conscious!) screen time for Faramir means more chance for moviegoers to see the gentle heart I fell in love with when I was twelve. *hopes desperately*<P>-Lily
