In the Return of the King Gandalf himself said that by him saving Farimir many more would die on the Pelennor. Why did he do it then? Did he think the life of Farimir was worth more then the all the 'commoners' that Gandalf could have saved? Its not like that saving Farimir would have helped with the War of the Ring Farimir did nothing to help that after he was almost killed by his father.
