<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I can kind of understand Sam leaving. I mean, I think he'd obey Frodo no matter what, especially if he thought Frodo was serious, and I think he also might have been wondering himself about those lembas.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I don't think so... "Don't you leave him, Sam Gamgee--" Sam preactically adopted this as his mantra.That, and I don't think Frodo would have sent Sam away in the first place. He knew he needed Sam, and I don't think he entirely trusted Gollum either. Wasn't his attitude more like, "Well, Gollum probably will turn out to be a filthy turncoat, but we do need a guide or we'll never get to Mordor"? Edit: Oh, and I thought the final scene with Frodo saying goodbye was entirely too long. They might as well have shortened it and put in the Scouring of the Shire.
