Well, the death of another member would certainly affect things a great deal, but at some points more than others...
How well would things have gone in Lorien without Legolas to give the initial clue that they were friendly?
What would have happened to Merry or Pip if one of them had died at Parth Galen as well?
I definitely agree that the death of either Aragorn or Sam would have probably doomed the expedition; or given rise to some serious character growth...
What if Aragorn had died at Parth Galen instead of Boromir? Now that's a bunny right there! Twisted Evil

That would be one heck of a bunny indeed, because Boromir would have become the next Steward. Yet given that he was being tempted already by the Ring, I think that either his reign as Steward would have been short or Sauron would have just used him as his evil meat puppet, as he did with Saruman and Denethor.

Also, how would the Fellowship have proceeded with Boromir rather than Aragorn? I mean, how would the battles at Minas Tirith and Pelennor Fields have played out with the returning king? For starters you wouldn’t have had the army of the dead to lend back up. Plus, as you say, would Boromir, throughout the fight, still have been susceptible to Sauron/the Ring’s influence in some way?
Loads of things to play with in that idea. I’d love to do that story but doubt if I could do it justice.

If your; nice, petite bee stings are offended, my nice, big, melons apologise. (and mock you!)

I think midget Nazgul sound sexy and handy! They can reach parts no other Nazgul can (or in your case, wouldnt want to! Twisted Evil )

Hmmm.

Dead Pippin = Dead Faramir? (No one saves him on the pyre)
Dead Merry = Dead Eowyn? (No one distracts the Witch-king)
Dead Sam = Dead Frodo, obviously. (Whether by Shelob, the Orcs of Cirith Ungol, Gollum, or just exhaustion/hunger/thirst, doesn't matter much)
