I think Gollum was sort of cool, you know what I mean? He had a bad side and (maybe not a brilliant one!)a good side. He did help Sam and Frodo reach their goal, almost getting them both killed in the process, but they got there. The fact that he helped them,shows thathe has a small amount of 'humanity' left in him. He didnt really want the ring to be destroyed, so he conspired with Shelob,but in the end,it was Gollum himself who destroyed the ring...he may not have inteneded to,but never-the-less,he did. Both sides of Gollum are essential to the story, without him, the quest to destroy the ring, may have failed...
