Indeed.

I love the way so many of us gravitate to Tolkien heroes. I also have a bit of a pash for Fingon. 
Faramir is a funny case: perhaps the only character whom I love in the movies but not in the
books. (Pausing to think if there are others where this is the case.  Yes: Elrond of Rivendell.)

Oh, yes, good choice!

My favourite hero.  Top of my list.

One of Lymond's progenitors, literarily speaking.

I almost mentioned him.

Haven't seen him.  I have a thing for the Ninth Doctor.  And sometimes the Tenth. I suspect I will
love the Fourth, when I get around to watching him.

Ah, well, I'll make up the balance for you, with my love of Aral.
