The only reason not to tie Gollum to a tree or summat was his perceived usefulness as a guide.
But once they realised he was so tricksy, shouldnt they have replaced him with a more reliable guide?

Why did The Hobbit's utilise Gollum? |

They set off for the fiery slopes of Mt Doom without a guide, which implies that a guide was deemed unnecessary.

Why didn't Frodo just tell everyone to fuck off, and take the damn ring yourself?

maybe they were worried Strider would divorce Arwen after she gave up her immortality.

Gollum showed them the way to get there, if you watch the movie they had been going in circles before they find him. That is why they carried Gollum until the
end. Why Sam did not kill him should be the question being asked instead.

OK but is Gollum the O N L Y person who knows how to get there? I don't think so.
And if they NEEDED a guide why were they despatched without one?? |

Why didn't Galadriel, who KNEW Boromir was going to try to take the ring, kill Boromir?
Or she could have at least told Viggo and Gimli that Boromir was going to try to take the ring. |

Galadriel had a secret alliance with Sauron. Duhsers.

Why didn't Samwise just throw Frodo into the lava?

I just wish Sam would get more credit than he gets in this story.

The guy gets to bone Rosie Cotton. That should make up for it.

He gets to finish the book also, but he does not get the credit that Frodo stole from him. He was the real main guy who saved everyone.

Why didn't Sam ever come out of the closet? Do we have to wait for a sequel or sumpin?

Sam was retard. He KNEW Gollum was tricksy early on, but chose to say nothing.

They had to keep Gollum as the "goat" so Frodo could survive the final Tribal Council.
FRODO: What do i get if I make it to Mordor and destroy the ring? ELF DUDE: You get to die in a pit of fiery lava FRODO: On second thought, I'll take Gollum to the finals then.

When these movies came out, I was still with my ex. She hadn't read the books at all but I knew the stories up down left and right and had read the
Silmarillion and various other LOTR related stuff. So after enjoying the hell out of the first one (when she didn't think she would at all) she eagerly
asks me "So what happens at the end?!?!?" I told her Legolas takes Sam into the woods for some filthy Hobbit love.
Think that ruined the next two for her. Oh well. |

Why did there need to be a drainage ditch at the bottom of Helm's Deep?
