Fat Sam in TTT

[My Cat Sasha]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> <BR>quote:<BR>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR> Sam probably hurls him to the ground to shut him up and make him go faster. ... Smeagol was already a murderer; he killed Deagol! <BR>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<P>In my opinion, neither of these are very convincing reasons for having a rope around Smeagol's neck. Last time I checked, two wrongs still didn't make a right.<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Then is this a more convincing reason?<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The rope was around Gollum's neck because they couldn't trust him. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> ...then you'd probably know that tying the rope around Smeagol's ankle was more than enough to control him, especially since "nassty Elves twisted it" and the very touch was burning to him. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Sorry, but I haven't read the books for a while and didn't remember that at the time. But it wasn't explained very well in the movie. Still, how else were they supposed to control him?<P>I'm not sure, but doesn't Galadriel give Sam the rope only in the extended version? I might be getting the two mixed up, so correct me if I'm wrong. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> What about Merry, Pippin, Frodo and Bilbo? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought Bilbo was a little bit fat. Not as big as Sam, but he didn't appear to be as tall as Sam either.
