Tom certainly does not have the desire to interact with Sauron, he seems to come from before his/that time. He is a wonderful example of the magic of Middle Earth, or should I say Arda-unmarred. His connection to the living land, like the Ents, is some of the "core" magic of Middle Earth (to me and the best, most interesting part). He "sings" the song of the structural creatures of ME. (for lack of a better description! )His wife is the "river's daughter"! It's not "All" about the children of Illuvatar! (IMO) I'm glad he isn't in the movie I guess, because his character might have been asigned a "ring related" purpose, and I like him clean and fresh! Whatever!
