Well, technically, The Ring wouldn't have been destroyed without the help of the entire fellowship.

merry and pippin didn't do much except in rotk. if they didn't do anything, boromir wouldn't have had to die protecting them, or be in the fellowship at all. think about it...frodo and sam might've even been able to sneak past saruman and therefore you would've only needed two. nine made it interesting, though.

what do you mean? merry and pippin didn't do anything in fotr except escort frodo, didn't do anything in ttt except convince treebeard to attack isengard (okay-one thing...), and i admit they did a lot in rotk.
if they hadn't have been in the fellowship, boromir wouldn't have had to die protecting them.
if it were frodo and sam and legolas/aragorn/boromir/gandalf/gimli, they'd have three. i'd have frodo/sam/gandalf as the fellowship. not very interesting, but...
if you disagree again, tell me what you disagree about

Merry and Pippin's characters were developing in FotR. Boromir didn't just die because he was protecting them. He died so Aragorn would give faith in men. And the rest of the fellowship drew Sauron's army to the Black Gate so Frodo could get to Mt. Doom.

I must stress again about how different the movies and books are.
In FotR, Merry leads the hobbits through the Old Forest. Merry & Pippin are part of the conspiracy to spy on Frodo - which Frodo knew nothing about.
Remember Pippin was very young not even an adult yet according to Hobbis. He wasn't even born yet when Bilbi had his party and disappeared.
The 2 hobbits do lots in TTT and tell the Ents about Saruman. If it were not for them Gondor would have been fighting Saruman & Sauron.
These are just some examples.

Yeah I could of said that in my last post, but I was mostly mad about what he said about Boromir. He was making it sound like it was an ironic reason that Boromir died.

I like Sam the best. He is after all in my top three. I like how he beats up Shelob!

[glow=blue,2,300]Sam, because I can relate to him! He's out in a big world he doesn't understand, and he doesn't know just what to do, except that he's there for Frodo.[/glow]

I love Pippin, he's so cool and funny then comes Sam (well, he should be first but my priorities don't support that)

I agree with Arwen. Pippin's the comic relief hobbit and I like that.
