Oh yeah! and about the Gollum thing! I think that although it was mercy that stayed the hand of Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn etc. underlying it was the hand of fate(?) that kept him for the purpose of finally destroying the ring. I guess I tend to think of poetic justice in terms of revenge, as stated above, and feel that it was more the fulfillment of his role in ME.
