Is it Bilbo and the rabbits Gollum catches? The trolls and eagles certainly think he is one...

I feel like the 'speculation' is likely quite insulting, and possibly relating to an animal. Sort of like Treebeard saying that he thought Merry and Pip were little Orcs, but again he doesn't get specific.

But we actually trust Gandalf's assessment that Gollum's people were likely related to hobbits. So no.

These are all very good thoughts that I haven't thought of.

No, the instance I have in mind is actually complimentary, and is about two specific characters.

I thought about Finduilas' statement about Turin and Beren being kinsmen, but that one is also true...

Yes, it is true. Therefore, it is wrong.

There was that one instance where...

Wait a minute, I think I may know the answer...

Except there is no way for that to be possible, not even as a mere speculation

You know, it is really helpful when you post so clearly. Then I can tell you for sure whether you're on the right track, and you will know for sure whether you're right or wrong.

Besides, did I not tell you that the we the audience KNOW this speculation is incorrect? You are looking for impossible suggestions!
