I voted for Eowyn (purely out of habit I think.) but upon further consideration, I think I would choose Faramir. If Luthien was an option I would definitely pick her, though.

Today I went to IKEA and hid in the wardrobes, and every time someone opened the doors I welcomed them to Narnia!!

In our school, on a wall, there is a big writing, saying «I care». It is the untranslatable motto of the best among young Americans. It means: «I AM interested in it; it is dear to me». That's the exact opposite of the fascist motto, «I don't care». (Lorenzo Milani, priest. Lettera ai giudici; 1965)

When a linear superposition of several stationary states of a harmonic oscillator correspond with a sinusoidal oscillation, it creates a harmonic potential. By changing the average energy, you are creating a quasi-classical state that exhibits the a|a >=a > a >, ^p ^x = hbar/2 properties. Now, if we added a 10E-12 W/m² sound intensity but give it a value of 80 dB, would we be able to hear it?

I answered Sam. He has been my favourite character from the time I first read the books, and he was also my favourite in the movies. Sam is so much more than he seems at first glance. I love that he is an utterly faithful friend and that he consistently does what he needs to do despite the risk to himself. OK, there are a lot of characters who do this, but for some reason Sam seems to me the best of them all.

I like Pippin and Merry in the books, but I don't like how they are made into something of buffoons in the movies. I really disliked the treatment Faramir got in the movies... PJ tarnished his reputation terribly.

Aragorn and Legolas, though NOT because they're good looking (although they are :)).

I am also unhappy with the rougher movie version of Faramir. That he didn't even wan to know what "Isildur's Bane" WAS spoke very highly of his character. Why did PJ change that? Dunno.

It's no worse than the re-invention of Aragorn. This reluctant -almost fearful- son of prophecy is NOT the King who returned in the book!

However, I have voted, as always, for the truest hero of the book: Sam Gamgee. With no glimmer of reward or fame before him but a very good chance of death, he remained loyal, steadfast.
