I'm ready to vote for Smaug if it's the one you would think that would be able to challenge Melkor. And let's join forces to beat Morgoth on the next round already. That would be our safest option...

Obviously. However, you see, it could not have resorted to this had people not voted so carelessly the "cliché" guys like Morgoth or Sauron in the earlier rounds already... it's the same as in the previous popularity cup, where you end up with Gandalf and Frodo, or what was it... come on...

Yes, I thought about that as well - but you (all people) should have thought about that in the earlier rounds!

Well, for example I don't consider Gollum a baddie... certainly not of the same sort as the Dragons, the Nazgul, Sauron... you name it. (Although there were some even in this contest, true... like the Master of Lake-Town... but with him, still, he is somewhat "plain negative" in some aspects, he is more of a baddie than Gollum, who is just too... complex to be classified as mere baddie.)

I say we bury him also with you, since you are so good friends...
