![]() The unreliable narrator retcon also ramps up the menace factor for both Gollum (who now come off as jealous and treacherous, not just feral) and the Ring (whose hold now seems to have induced our kindly gentle-Hobbit hero to spin a lie to his companions in order to better justify his claim to it), while also introducing the theme of Bilbo's pity for Gollum leading him to spare Gollum rather than killing him during the escape. We know from his plot notes that he'd decided quite early that Gollum would be shadowing the Fellowship and would eventually be fighting for control of the Ring on the slopes of Mount Doom, which doesn't fit well with handing off the Ring of his own accord. I understand why Tolkien abandoned this, though. Instead, he concocted a set of circumstances that committed himself to hand the Ring off to someone else: Gollum to Bilbo because the Ring was Gollum's stake in the Riddle Game, and Bilbo to Frodo because it was part of Bilbo's estate he was bequeathing to Frodo. It was quite a clever parallel of Bilbo's decision to leave the Ring to Frodo: like Bilbo, Gollum had become weary of the Ring's corruption, but its lure had too strong a hold to allow him to simply abandon it. There are other Tolkien-themed subreddits out there! Say hello to our friends in the following places: We're looking at starting a wiki for these common ones. Try searching before posting a new thread: odds are we've already covered some of the "classic" questions ("Who is Tom Bombadil?", "What happened to the Blue Wizards?", "Why couldn't the Eagles just take the Ring?" etc).

I select the highest-quality cards available, including the newest cards that other sellers leave out, to create high-performance decks that truly make the most of their Commander.
