Aragorn and Eowyn
Paul

Hi everyone, just making a comment on the Aragorn & Eowyn "swordfight." From the time I saw it during the preview, I always thought that it was just a sparring match, (a la Merry & Pippin vs. Boromir in FOTR) I also heard that Eowyn breaks Aragorn's sword. (Is this PJ's way of getting Anduril to Aragorn?) While I still don't understand why Narsil wasn't reforged in FOTR, I think that this is PJ's way of getting Arwen to Helm's Deep, and of getting Aragorn the sword. Also, I think that Aragorn doesn't let Eowyn break his sword (why would he do that?) but he is just giving her some sword practice and the breaking is an accidental occurence.
