Thanks for your answer. But as to "why must it be an either/or thing", well, because it IS. Either Boromir intended to steal the ring by force from the start, or he succumbed to its evil influence in "The Breaking of the Fellowship". Frankly, I'm a little shocked that nobody seems to see what seems so clear to me in text.

BTW, is this where you'll all be during the Oscars?
