| How did I miss this one? And I can certainly see your logic and appreciate it. Yes, it would be for Faramir to actually destroy the bridge, even as both regretted the necessity of it. Very good! Author Reply: I am glad you liked this! Yes, the brothers were probably very sorry to destroy something that had stood for so long and was so well-crafted. | |

| This seemed slightly 'bass-ackwards' to me. Boromir, as Captain-general, would have given the command, unless this is movie-based with Faramir as Captain of Osgiliath. And wouldn't Faramir follow Boromir - not vice versa? I liked the descriptions, however. Author Reply: The computer ate my reply, so I will try this again. No, this isn't intended as movie version. Remember that they have been involved in very different types of warfare, with Boromir leading the conventional defense while Faramir conducts partisan warfare in occupied territory. Faramir would have more experience demolishing bridges, plus he would probably know more about bridge engineering and physics (Boromir would have been daydreaming during that part of their lessons). He is the logical man for the job. Just because he is in charge of taking down the bridge doesn't imply that he is the ranking officer present. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| Ooh, a battle-poem! I love it! Tough warrior Faramir is always a treat, and seen via a poetic narrative which conveys the danger and suspense of that battle, he really shines here. I love it that Faramir is the one in charge of blowing up the bridge. Yes, I really love this piece, in case I haven't made it clear enough! Hooray for the Captains of Gondor! | |
