Mmm... griping...<P>In TTT Gollum starts merrily humming this little ditty: "Cold be hand and heart and bone..."<P>Most of us will recognise this as the incantation performed by the Barrow-Wight in one of the most terrifying passages of the book. Gollum has his foibles, sure, but I don't really think he deserves to be given that line.<P>Changes to the book = good.<BR>Changes to the book made with very little in-depth thought = bad.
