It's really quite simple, O Breelanders. Allow me to explain my logic.

Frodo was stabbed in the night. By the morning he became a wraith. Now, with all other things remaining constant, if this were book!Frodo there would have been enough of a fight for him not to be stabbed in the heart, no? And if so we would have about thirteen days before he was actually turned. But we know narration-wise that this is NOT, I repeat, NOT the case, and that it happened in about 12 hours or so instead. Moreover no cries of "A Elbereth Gilthoniel!" were heard in the night, only strange "Aaaaaack" sort of noises.

Therefore I posit that our Ringbearer is NOT book!Frodo, but his Jacksonian counterpart, who was even more wussy than normal and thus didn't hold out long enough for Arwen: Warrior Princess to get some extra screentime.

So: which among you has luminous blue eyes that make everyone else want to get lost in your Impending Victimhood?
