It just seems that ring did that affect him as much as the Ring affect that other that was bestowed it. <br />I like your thought that the Ring just did not want to die, but Gollum's mad struggle is all that it took to "kill" it.

Also, the way you put that about Sam reminds me of the graphic novels I posted my review of last week.
