Most interesting. I like the idea (which I've always held) that the Watcher was merely an independant, lonely creature that was perhaps forced to take Frodo by the ring, but otherwise did not care about it. Sort of like a dumb, hungry troll named Tom that I once read about... Besides, everything needs food, right? Isn't that motive enough?
