    The ring can only be destroyed by the fires of Mount Doom. Teleporters completely disassemble what it’s transporting and reassemble it at the destination. Technically using a transporter kills you and makes perfect copy on the other side so it wouldn’t work on the one ring.

    Because they had flying dragons that you can connect to with your jombilical chord hair that’s why.

      It’s Rule Number 1. “Always use Angmar Prime™ when transporting objects infused with evil magic.”

    Why use the transporter when there are perfectly good redshirts to utilize?

    They couldn’t stabilise the wormhole between the universes, leading to a catastrophic collapse, and killing the forward team in the process. Political concerns forced the project to shut down, and removed it from canon

    He found the Ring to be “Fascinating, but illogically attractive.” and spent the rest of the episode wrestling with his dual nature.
