Interesting! Wery inter-esting... But if Narsil/Anduril was going to play such a huge part in ROTK, shouldn't we have been explicitly told in FOTR that Aragorn didn't have it? Maybe he and Elrond could've had their conversation in the Narsil Room, and Aragorn could've left straight away without the sword reforged. Then we wouldn't have to play guessing games about it! I mean come on, if <B>anal</B>-ytical Tolkien fans can't make out what's going on with the sword, how can the majority of the audience be expected to keep up with such a small detail?
