I always loved Tom, was so sad that there isn't very much about him in the book but I guess that's part of why he's so cool. Looking forward to more!

Well analysed. Tom is such a welcome relief during this part of the journey. Who can forget the menace that was Old Man Willow.

You touched on this, but did not flesh it out. Tom is already the master of his world, from Old Man Willows to Barrow Wights. No one has ever caught Tom at unawares. When Frodo sings the lines to summon Tom, he is there instantaneously. The Ring had no power over Tom because Tom was already more powerful than the Ring. Perhaps this is alluded to by Gandalf when he says Tom would just forget about the Ring and throw it away. Tom already had more than the Ring could tempt him with, like the devil tempting Jesus in the desert.
