Oh mood

Like… Did they not read TTT???

My guess is that things would have gone *better*, for whatever definition of better there is, but that Boromir receiving the dream meant that his going ALSO ensured success because while he wasn’t preferred, he was still acceptable re:the quest being fulfilled

I replied:

I basically agree. I don’t think his going ensured success (too many other people’s choices etc at work), but he was a legitimate option to the powers that be, even though they preferred Faramir.
