Operaguy, Frodo spent all that time sucummbing to the evil of the ring, combined with a kinship feeling with only other being around that had succumbed to the rings power (Bilbo doesn't count, he's not there) He wants to believe Gollum can be saved, because it means he can be saved. it does happen in the book (read last summer, for the 4thtime I think from a 1972 box set with Tolkien art on the covers) And Frodo does send Sam away because of Gollums word. But jackson should have had the raising of the shire included. At least I think so.
