And to think they could've avoided all this and just put Sam on the poster...

I haven't put a whole lot of thought into the Aragorn/Arwen/Eowyn thing, but since the movies started coming out I have thought some on it. I always saw it as a one-sided affection, never even getting the impression that Aragorn had any feelings "like that" toward Eowyn. He had given his heart to Arwen--and besides, how can a girl hope to beat the other woman giving up her immortality for the man in question, especially when she doesn't have immortality to give up? Aragorn was, of course, not stupid, and realized that Eowyn had feelings for him. But now that you guys have brought it up, I agree that it wasn't really that romance, much less sex, but ambition guiding that relationship. Like y'all said, not to put Eowyn down--a lot of relationships between people in ruling positions have to do with ambition. But the Arwen/Aragorn relationship as love, pure and simple.

'Sides, I always liked Faramir. ^_^ I think Eowyn got duly compensated for losing Aragorn. No short side of the stick in this choice!
