Ye Gods, do i spy another post on this thread opining that Aragorn seemed a little too perfect? :: raises glass high ::

i'll have to confess i had that problem in the stories w/ Faramir as well -- he came off seeming as if he the character had been watching over Tolkien's shoulder and was determined not to screw things up (which then explains why i endorse PJ making both the brothers a bit less of archetypes and a little closer to human beings)

s.t.

(dang. now i guess i'm going to have to stock up on ink and paper and speculate on how Faramir might have handled the quest in Bor's clothing... argh... a pox on this side, for all the great story ideas these posts do evoke...)
