Now I realize this is a mythic quest and epic and good prevails but besides Frodo having to pass into the west there really isn't a final price to pay. We started with hobbits and ended with hobbits and it all works out for the hobbits with no ill to speak of. The Shire is repaired and is lovlier than ever thanks to Galadriel and Sam but what price did the Shire truly pay? Why not expose us to a bit of reality? Life always isn't happy and it's a great opportunity to teach those of us who read it that lesson.
Plus would any of us actually miss Pippin?
