The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

NO! Surely it cannot be. If Frodo can't throw the Ring in (assuming that this is how it is portrayed in the film), how on earth can it be believable that Gollum will be able to? The whole point is that, as Gandalf predicts, Gollum does have his part to play, but he does so unwittingly.<P>And anyway, wouldn't Gollum just throw the Ring in, rather than jump in, if he felt that way inclined. OK, so he might of been destroyed along with the Ring anyway, but he wasn't necessarily to know that.
