I haven't done a lot of research on this yet so, don't get mad if it's wrong. But i was wondering what everyone thought. Do you think Frodo would have been able to destroy the ring in ROTK without Gollum's help if he hadn't been stabbed by the Nazgul in FOTR? The "knife in the dark" had an effect on him and I think it had a great shortening effect on the amount of time he could bear the ring. Everyone rips on Frodo for finally succumbing in the end, but I wonder if that knife had a hand in his weakness.
