Goodness!! Even though Gollum is a complete horrible nuisance, a stinker and a slinker in Sam's words, without him, The Ring would never have passed to Bilbo, and then it wouldn't have gone to Frodo, and he wouldn't have been able to destroy it, and even if Frodo did get The Ring to Mount Doom, Gollum wouldn't be there to wrestle it from him and plunge into the fiery depths, poor Frodo would have gone mad, and Sauron would get The Ring back eventually, which would probably kill Frodo, and even Sam, and the world would be destroyed, and everyone would be killed, and, and... etc.
