It just seems like such a natural! All those manly warriors bonding (and possible brotherslash, if you're terribly corrupt. Which I am). All the angst and heroics and kickass battle scenes, with occasional Ranger-type excursions. Boromir surrounded by the ones he loves best (except Aragorn, but oh well) and not yet getting gnawed on by that stupid piece of jewelry, so he gets to be brave and beautiful with just the normal amount of "everything depends on me" stress (as it were). Faramir getting to actually do stuff... Wouldn't it be fabulous? *g*
