It makes room for some ominous Cirith Ungol foreshadowing. It pulls Gollum back into the narrative (and gives him another reason to feel jumpy and angry).
“The Forbidden Pool” treads water, a bit. There are explicit discussions of the rest of the Company, and the hobbits get to sleep in a warm bed in a beautiful place, after eating a meal of more than lembas. The view widened, bringing in a broader cast of characters rather than keeping the focus fixed on a close-up of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum. The biggest issue, and one that will surely come up if the Lord of the Rings movies are ever remade, is finding someone - anyone - who can live up to his iconic performance.“The Window on the West” was a slight deviation from for rest of Book IV of The Lord of the Rings. Serkis fought, bled, and crawled through freezing water to deliver the very best version of Gollum ever dedicated to the screen, and we’re eternally grateful for it. The talented mo-cap actor - whose skill extends far beyond character work - captured Gollum with utter perfection, redefining how viewers considered the once-background character. There’s simply no beating Andy Serkis’ incredible depiction of Gollum.

Gollum has an odd look to him in the 1978 animated take on The Lord of the Rings, sporting brownish skin and a generally goblin-esque appearance, but his portrayal is pretty solid. Peter Woodthorpe lent his voice to the part of Gollum in two separate endeavors - both the 1978 animated film adaptation and the 1981 BBC radio dramatization - and cemented himself as a vital part of the character’s history.
