It sounds like Billy Boyd was saying that with tongue in cheek.<P>For redeeming Faramir - how about starting off ROTK the same way as they did TTT - have Faramir say "The Ring will go to Osgiliath", then have Frodo wake up with a gasp. It was all a dream! "Sam, we didn't go to Osgiliath, did we?" "What are you talking about, Mr. Frodo? Faramir cut us loose more than a week ago, why would he take us there?"<P>Seriously; probably the best way is (1) splice in a scene or two into the TTT DVD where Faramir refers to the death-penalty-if-captives-released clause, also says a sentence or two more about his father's tremendous power etc. (2) in ROTK, have Faramir behave the way he does in the book, with a minor explanation like was provided at the start of this thread. "My wish to please my father led me astray. But I have repented." "OK, that's good. Now, forward the Horse Brigade!"
