I know it's been talked to death, but the line 'lets hunt some orc'<P>I think I figured out why it's so bad and why it just doesnt seem to fit...<P>In the book, there was a great struggle in Aragorn's mind which way he should take, follow Frodo and Sam, or attempt to rescue Merry and Pippin. Both seemed equally hopeless in their outcome. From the breaking of the fellowship until they get to Fangorn Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are basically on a (from their view) hopeless errand. They never really have hope, but they go on without hope. That's why I love the line "I will follow the orcs" because it's not an arrogant or encouraging line.. It's the answer to a very long descision, and a hopeless future.
