I saw a family guy episode where chris is saying EXACTLY what I thought was wrong with lord of the rings which was weird.
But why didn't they just use the flying eagles to get to that mountain in the first place?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Or a sammich.
Better still, hollow out another book and use it to store the pages you cut out of the first one.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

In the interest of thoroughness, I reread the Council of Elrond. I think the choice to hike it there was borne out of the need to remain as hidden as possible, as there were things monitoring the air as well as the land, and by the time they left the nine riders had become the nazghul, and thus the eagles may or may not have succeeded, and Sauron's attention would have been on them anyway. With the company split, and Frodo and Sam on the ground, the rest of the Fellowship could distract Sauron sufficiently for Frodo to make it to Mount Doom.
