I remember this query popping up on another lotr forum a few years back. I'm not sure if we have anything like it here at the Barrow-downs, but it was a debate from two teams on whether particular events would have gone better if changes were made tothe plot.
The question was, would it have been better to send Glorfindel instead of Pippin as a member of the Fellowship? Very interesting points were raised, ie Glorfindel would probably have helped Gandalf defeat the balrog and gandalf might not have fallen off the bridge. This led to a big domino effect - ie would have gandalf gone with frodo and sam? ie no defence of MT or aid to Theoden? maybe merry and pippin would not have been captured, and therefore no defeat of Saruman via the Ents, etc?
Maybe there is an area on the site that has these sort of discussions, but I haven't seen one.....
