Fantastic thoughts on Finrod here! I often thought that to be the case. Gildor bad, ineffective?
No. I liked Gildor. I think he did what he had to. Thing is, when you come right down to it, I thought he did more than we really expected. He risked the life of one or two of his own to send word back towards Rivendell. I wonder if that Elve/Elves sacrificed his/their place on the ship? If he/they did I'd feel rather sorry for him/them.
It seems that the company that attended Gildor had been in ME for a very long time. I would have been tired too.
