Where did Tom go? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There is much arguement that Tom is not essential to the basic plot at all. That is the reason PJ took him out and that is the reason that people who dont care that he was taken out give. But dont you think he deserves some credit? He was the first living thing on the Middle Earth. He is the reason the hobbits didn't die. And he is the reason that the Lord of the Nazgul was killed and Eowyn was not. It seems he is as wise and strong as the Valar.. But I've only read the beginning pages of The Sillmarillion so I dont really know if that is true. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."
