Considering that Smeagol is hobbit-stock, just how far from the norm can we expect him to go?

Yes, you're probably right there. PJ it seems went for a more "realistic" and anthropomorphic Gollum. But I have always pictured him of something as a monster, and looking the part.

Even having Gollum being emaciated (not that, by this time, Sam would be well-fed), still, one would think that the creature could resist Sam somewhat, and not be like a doll on a leash.

Maybe the whole rope jerking thing was done to engender sympathy for "poor Sméagol". Works for me.
BTW,
alatar, your avatar is really spooky! It freaks me out!!
