++Boromir must go, him and faramir have an alliance that must be broken, plus Boromir got shot with hundreds of orc arrows that creep

I'll have to agree with mormegil. I do not deny that the men need thinning out, but I will not give in and let them take Faramir away without some sort of fight.

Understand, Eomer is a great man, too, but Faramir, in my opinion, is more worthy of staying. Eomer, at least, was not wronged in the movie, whereas Faramir had his character stollen from him.

++Eomer

Please - please, everyone - give Faramir a chance!

While I think that Boromir's death was very brave and valiant, there is no room on the insland for dead people. So I say

++Boromir

has to go.

Um, let me think ...

Duh!

Tsk! These Faramir Groupies have no shame. Now they are prepared to fall upon a noble and honourable King of Rohan in order to achieve their twisted ends. They must be resisted! Supporters of Rohan! Your Eored needs you. Give the horseboy a break and vote Faramir.

A chance? A chance? How many chances does the Gondorian Goon get?

++Boromir

Worse than his brother at least. Boromir can barely do any more island-work; his mind is always on that ring. And since his father's been given the boot he never seems to be motivated to do anything, not even to boil the water.

Ha! Eomer must be a pretty big wimp if he needs a break already!! For all that I'm aware of, this is the first time he's been voted for, and you're already whining for him to be givin' it easy!

++Gloin

Because his name is an anagram for Nilog!

Why would anyone want to vote for someone who knows how to stay afloat down waterfalls?

I say we vote for ++GRISHNAKH. Just this one last bad guy out, and it's free-for-all.

What??

Don't you touch Eomer. Faramir may be me, but Eomer is much, much better than me...he's Gawain, he's young Beowulf, he's a berserker! Nobody is going to throw him out on my watch. "Ride to ruin and the world's ending!" Besides, with Celeborn gone Galadriel has shown her true feelings towards him, and the duels between him and Gimli are hilarious to watch...

I will throw myself behind the Boromir campaign. Face it, chaps, Boromir is basically a big, bluff, sporty lout. The only thing that makes him interesting is his exposure to the Ring, causing lots of cool moral ambiguity, and his above average Orc-hacking skills; but the Ringbearers are all gone and there's only one Orc left on the island. Now he'll just stand around kicking a football or repeating hackneyed repuplican cant copied from his father. No, better to let him go home.

++BOROMIR

Folwren says "Eomer was not wronged in the movie; Faramir had his character stolen from him."

Faramir was a bit odd in one scene, and his motives were explained in the Extended Edition. Eomer was practically cut from the films, and lost all his best lines and moments in the awful rejigging of the Pelennor Fields...
