Just finished Ep 76, so I'm still behind -- though far less behind now!
Frodo, just before fading out, seems to see Aragorn wielding two firebrands, "a flaming brand of wood in either hand." What if one of those was actually Narsil? Frodo sees his own sword as a firebrand "flickering red."
I'm just trying to work out Aragorn's likely path of resistance. His sword is broken, but it is after all the *same sword* that sliced the fingers off the Dark Lord himself, including the Ring of Power. One would imagine that something like that would still have an effect on Ring-Wraiths, and one would also imagine that Aragorn would know this.
When I re-enact the scene in my head, it just makes more sense that Aragorn is wielding broken Narsil and a firebrand than two firebrands.
