So what exactly would Gandalf's plan had been, had the party stuck together all the way to Mordor? The book points out that the way Frodo and Sam end up entering Mordor through Shelob's lair was a bad idea and that Gandalf wouldn't have approved, but what the fuck WOULD Gandalf had had them done? What would the company do once they reached the main gate?

Gandalf also thought Moria was a bad idea but he had to go in anyway.

honestly that was pretty dumb. There was really no other way to get to the southern half of middle earth? I mean, sure they were pressed for time, but then they spend a fucking month or whatever jerking off with the elves immediately after Moria. I feel like the elves would have had a better way to get them as far as Rohan at least.

Teleport into the real world and come back with Tolkein's old army buddies to blast a Somme-sized crater into Middle Earth.

Teleported them to the goal, that ring-burning thingy?
Oh wait, his magic powers are limited. By what? By the needs of the narration of course.

Either he would have known a different passage into Mordor or he'd choose the way Frodo and Sam took, despite Shelob. It's not like getting all the way into the heart of the enemy is supposed to be easy and safe.

I think that it's fair to say that Gandalf would have known about some long-forgotten passage through.
