At the risk of sounding like a 'Movies' forum post: My theory about the Character-Formerly-Known-as-Faramir is that it will turn out to be his evil twin, Clive.

Seriously, I think I have such a problem with this particular change from the books is that for some years I had what amounted to a crush of Faramir. Very strange, I know - but that is the best way to describe my feelings about the character.

I feel strong bonds to many of Tolkien's characters. Like so much else in ME, they are so fully-realized that they have a life of their own. I didn't know he was working with archetypes until I studied his work in literature classes, well after I had first read the books.
