Oh, Gollum... [In reply to] Can't Post

1. Again, a choice of words that rather surprises me from Gollum: where did Gollum learn to use little endearments like "sleepies"? When you read this kind of phrase from Gollum, does it change your perspective on the old evil thing at all?

His use of nice words/phrases implies that he does have some memory of long ago experiences with nice folk. I do remain undecided about why he acts this way at times along the way and especially here. Is he just in his "manic" cycle, chattering away? Does he truly feel nice towards the Hobbits? Is this simply the "addict" on a sort of "high" now that he senses he is about to get his "fix"? So in answer to this question I suppose I should say--no it doesn't change my view of him (which is not as an evil old thing)--just results in more questions.
