Good idea, Morquesse! (So long as the Army of the Dead aren't just arms :P )This DVD sounds sweet. I never doubted it. I just love it already. *sniff* As for Faramir: PJ's excuse of Faramir not fitting in is rubbish. Her does get tempted in the Books, but overcomes it (paraphrasing: "and you have run from Boromir to me, with a company of men at my call...a chance for Faramir to prove his quality!" he then overcomes it, and laughs bitterly. "Alas for Boromir, this trial was too sore for him.")The Ring is just as evil and corrputing in the Books. doesn't destroy the wisdom Gandlaf, Elrond etc have though that they shouldn't have it. If they did claim it, well, they'd go very, very evil. They could have kept Faramir how he is. He'd fit in better than crazy character-change man.As for brutal behaviour...more than the Books, but I think it's not too far from what happens. True, Im don't think Book-Faramir would let Gollum be beaten to a bloodying stump, but look at his behaviour in TTT. He starts off very harsh to Frodo, a possible spy. Then he softens, and is nice, especially when he learns the truth. But he and his men treat Gollum like an animal. He less so, and he accepts that Gollum is not lying, but still, it seems that in his mind Gollum is worth no mroe than an Ork or piece of dirt.
