When you say that the Ring came to Sméagol, you're skipping over Déagol, as his involvement is not relevant in the current context. Similarly, to the narrator, both Déagol and Sméagol are irrelevant to the context. The narrator basically said "and after a lot of back and forth, Gollum ended up as the long term owner of the Ring". Which is a condensed summary, but adequately correct for the story that is being told. | |

As in the movie The ring came to the creature Gollum. means it was obtained by Gollum which is a cliffhanger story between how it was taken from river and who was Gollum. Which is what spoiler consists of. | |
| Jul 30, 2017 at 7:26 | comment | added | Mazura | I think the OP is pondering the semantics of how the ring could have come to Gollum, since until he has it, he's still Sméagol. It's a catch-22, and I wonder how the book words it, and if it's only for our benefit to keep the characters straight in the movie. Also, that 'spoiler' is only in the extended version, IIRC. More like, The ring came to Sméagol, who became the creature Gollum. But it's wording like that as to why I can't make it though the book... | |
