Thingol, loved your post about how the nazgul simply waited for the blade to do its work. That is something I like about LOTR, people don't risk themselves uneccessarily. The wraiths probably could have won, but they may have lost a couple of their number. Why not wait untill they can command Frodo? Would you risk your life if you felt it was just a matter of time.
I also hated the movie depiction... Aragorn could never have won the fight like that. It even says so in UT... the rangers could not defend the shire from the nazgul, even had their captain been with them.
