See, I disagree. I think that Aragorn would have taken Gollum with them to Mordor. After all, how do you lose him? You can't kill him when he's your prisoner, and they wouldn't "just tie him up and leave him" either, as Sam suggests in the TTT film. Gollum is a lot more dangerous if you don't take him along, so I think they would have to. There would be no "taming" him, though, not with Aragorn around.

But yeah, regardless, the Quest was sunk if Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas accompanied Frodo and Sam, even if they'd made it to Mount Doom.
