I don't see a way out for Frodo either. Frodo is the central character and so, for good or ill, the Frodo we are getting is the Frodo PJ wanted to portray. As a minor character, Faramir's development was secondary to developing plot when it came to making the theatrical Two Towers work. I suspect Faramir got cut to shreads in the editing room, which means that the Faramir that came across may not be quite the Faramir that was originally intended. That is why I think the Special Edition and RotK will give us a Faramir that is more familiar to us.<P>H.C.<p>[ April 05, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
