The Hobbit - Chapter 04 - Over Hill and Under Hill - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This chapter also again brings up the questions
of anachronisms and inconsistencies with LOTR.
For example, should JRRT have removed/changed the
fairy tale-ish picture of stone giants and Thorin's allusion to
football (soccer).

But we musn't discuss this too much, preciouss.
Yess, 'praps the next chapter is poor Smeagol's
favorite, except when Thief Baggins cheats in it.
