Aragorn, on Caradhras

This isn’t going to work. Legolas might make it through this storm, but the rest of us are lagging. Elladan and Elrohir said nothing of Caradhras’ malice when they returned to Rivendell -- perhaps they went unnoticed. But the long cold has proved as dangerous as the long dark.

Would we could take the Gap of Rohan! But if Theoden still holds true it is clear from what Gandalf has learned of his court that not all the Rohirrim are as trustworthy.

Too long has it been since I knew the Mark, and not long enough since I ventured into Moria.

It's interesting, because I didn't like Aragorn as much as other characters until the movies came out and now, while I like the films and think movie Aragorn is fantastic, I find I still like book Aragorn better. He's not conflicted about becoming King, but he's not so obsessed with it that he wouldn't have chosen to go with Frodo to the mountain if that was what needed to be done. He knows he's the last of his line, and if he's got any hesitations at all it's because he knows that having given his heart to Arwen he has failed to provide a "backup plan" in case he is killed. And yet he still goes into battle!

Are you going to Ring-Con?

What fascinates me about most of the characters in the movies is the way how the characters become much more vivid and even more believable (except Frodo)... and of course I have to admit that my POV of Aragorn is highly "viggo-rized" meanwhile *grins*.

No, I unfortunately don't. I would have loved to meet Bernard Hill!
