I had an issue with the no king since Isildur comment.<P>I don't like it when Middle Earth history gets re-written like that...

Like I said, it's the movie version. Likely movie only fans think that anyway. They saw Isildur die, there was no mention of any kids, so they likely assumed there have been no kings since then.<P>H.C.

But some of the smarter ones must have realized that for Aragorn to be in Isildur's line Isildur would of had to have kids. What I think PJ was getting at was that Isildur was kind of the last because everything slowly fell apart after he took the ring even when his heirs took over. That is just my take on it.
