The Frodo/Sam/Gollum/Sméagol journey, hereafter referred to as Smeeodosam, was in my opinion the best in TTT. As it should be, it's the main plot! While I did enjoy the scenes and the Dwarf Comedy of the Three Walkers, I thought that the book did a better job with things like the tracking, the urgency, the hardship, and the ominous presence of Saruman.<P>Merry? Pippin? Screentime? What?
