Pippin or Merry: Who is better? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There's no doubt a thread somewhere about this, but didn't Pippin actually die? i.e. Gimli 'made sure he was dead' when he pulled him out from under the orc, didn't he?<P>But for me, its got to be Merry. He has one of the most heartbreaking lines in lotr, "Are you going to bury me?" and then soon after Gandalf states (which ALWAYS gets me!) "He should have been borne in honour into this city". Reading it right now to check the words has left me with a tear in my eyes. I hope it's in the film.......<P>So, all in all, I'll go for Merry.
