are there connections? I was thinking along more political lines: "I know you were using me, but I was also using you, although for a different purpose. And all was right with the world". ;-). Faramir is a canny soul. He must have perceived since he was little that there was some grain of truth to his father´s suspicions about Gandalf. Being like his father, and quite adept at maneuvring himself, he must have seen what his father saw. But this is where the differences between father and son come into their own. In the end, Faramir realizes what his father did not: that Olórin was sent to Arda for several reasons, Faramir´s welfare and happiness being one of them.
