Go Mums!

But seriously though..
I wouldn't indeed go to Mordor if my life depended on it, but that is not what I voted. No living thing in Middle-Earth, not even Sauron, can properly match the power of Olórin, the Wisest of the Wise. Go Gandalf!
I don't think anybody else cold stand even the minutest chance of having any hope of defeating Sauron. By that I mean getting past him to Orodruin (any fool can toss a Ring away! Oh yeah, unless his immortal spirit is devoured by its terrible lust. Hmm..).
Aragorn certainly couldn't do jack, he's just the King of the Dúnedain. He might be an elite fighter, but he can't get past a hundred thousand Orcs! (I think your Ranger- troop might, Dave!)
 
I would pick in this order (because I don't know if there was a limit):
Gandalf - the wisest, most powerful
Sam - for loyalty and devotion
Aragorn - for strength, fighting ability, and ability to survive in the wild
Legolas - for his unique talents, including a dead-eye bowman, and his pure spirit
Gimli - untempted by the ring, a great fighter and friend
Boromir - if he had survived Amon Hen, he then understood the ring needed to be destroyed and he was a great & brave fighter
Merry - he was a bit brighter and more responsible than Pippin, and pretty brave after all, and a devoted friend
Pippin - well, he was always causing trouble because of his curiosity, but he was a devoted friend
 
i personally wouldn't have taken anyone but a hobbit, unless i wanted them to 'do a Boromir' and take the Ring for themselves by force. arguably, the corruptible power of the Ring itself would have turned/tempted any other race far sooner than it would a halfling.
 
Hmm, I suppose I would have taken a hobbit, Sam or maybe Frodo. He proved to be very devoted, and the others could corrupt to the lure of the Ring faster than a hobbit could. Sam would most likely be my choice. How about Tom Bombadill? Heh, he'll be singing the whole way

Merry derry dingo! Going to destroy the Ringo! Old Mr. Sauron sillyo! Can't get Tom Bombadillio!

I think I would drop him off a cliff by the time we got close though, with that singing! Sam is my choice.
 
lol I like that song. I would take none of the choices given if I had the way. I think I would take my sister. Or My two best friends.

But if it were from the book and I don't get those choices I could probobly take Pippin and Sam And Merry and Strider cause I would be frodo.
 
wow, thats really hard... i think id take gandalf because he's wise and a wizard, and aragorn for the same reasons minus the wizard part, and legolas because he's invaluable as a far-seeing, arrow-shooting warrior... i'd also take sam because he is so loyal and he'd never abandon me (i hope) in my quest....
 
I totally agree with some of you. Why isnt Frodo on there. I voted for Sam.(of coarse!) He wouldn't leave your side. He is very loyal!!!!
 
Sam - Frodo isn't on here because it's assumed that you are him. Well, at least that's what I think. I didn't start the poll so I can't tell you for sure.
 
I vote for Sam.He is the only one who keeps hope alive in every minute.He never leaves Frodo and will die for him.I think I would take Sam with me,cause I'll need a person who really loves me as a friend and master and would die for me.
 
Hey, someone's got to stick up for the under-represented often overlooked hobbit...

I love Merry.
He's yummy...

*mmmm....sexy hobbit...*
 
In my mind Sauron has more power than any other creature in Middle Earth if he has his everlasting longing for the ring. Even Gandalf's great Wizardry or Aragorns valient fighting skills could do little to defend you if you had the righ in Mordor. The only one that could provide the hope, companmanship, and loyalty would be Sam. He would stay by you until the ring giving you assistance you would need more than in the case of fighting. For Frodo was not intending on fighting Sauron one-on-one he had but one misson: destroy the Ring! All he neaded to accomplish this was the will to continue, the one power that Sam could suply him with better than all other members of the Fellowship.
 
I think that I'd probably get with just about any hobbit in the movie...
Even Sean Astin cause he's Rudy and I'm a Domer...
 
I would take Legolas with me. He has great eye sight and he has a great shot with a bow. Plus, he always seems so cheerful in the books and I would need someone to keep me in a good mood so I wouldn't give up.
 
Well I think Xanaphia is wrong.Sauron isn't the strongest creature in ME.He is Maia just like Gandalf and Saruman and Radagast.But Gandalf and co weren't allowed by Valar to use their power.Their mission was to help people and elves but not to fight with Sauron.In general I agree Sam is the person who i would take to Mordor.
