[Galadriel]

I found it funny, but also kind of insulting to Tolkien. Here's what I thought:

1. The key to the quest was secrecy. Eagles would have been shot down within a day.

2. Why would servants of Manwë carry the One Ring?

3. Quoting Gwaihir: "I was sent to bear tidings, not burdens." Speaks for itself.

4. A hobbit won't ride an Eagle (since they hate heights), a Dwarf will either hate the ride or be too easily tempted by the Ring (at least, I assume they will because of their love for things made by hand), Elves will not touch it, Gandalf will not touch it, Aragorn will not touch it...

All in all, it's a nearly impossible situation.
