At the risk of being off-topic, I have to say that's a great observation, Phrim! Very realistic as well, so many great leaders in human history have been dependent on their people being in dire straits.
Aragorn was indeed a lucky guy, everything (including the deaths of Boromir and Denethor) just fell into place for him!

Curse you, littlemanpoet! Just when I was starting to enjoy the movies a bit more - *sigh*. Alas, poor Aragorn!
