[Nikkolas]

So obviously Gandalf falling in Moria and Frodo fleeing after Boromir's attack were not planned. There were a lot of hasty improvisation going on there.

But Gandalf and Aragorn are no fools, they wouldn't have set out without an "endgame." Is there any indication of what they planned to do had the Fellowship remained together? How did they plan to get into Mordor or to distract Sauron?

If there is no canon on this, do the posters here have any theories?
