Gandalf and Aragorn

[dunadan_aragorn]

I have to say, although I was very VERY happy with the outcome of both movies, I was a little dissapointed that the relationship between Gandalf and Aragorn was not shown. In the extended dvd Aragorn refers to himself as "a friend of Gandalf's" and when they are leaving Bree it is clear that Strider has told them that he is a friend of Gandalf's, based on Merry's comment, "How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf's?" but hat is pretty much it. The appendices tell a lot about how they were friends, and the council; of Elrond sequence told how Gandalf went to Aragorn for help.
