Thanks!

0.34-0.57: So Tauriel fell passionately in love with Kili once he talked about what was down his trousers? That makes sense, particularly as she didn't then forget her duties and release him. 1.18: 'YOU HAVE BIRD POO!' I wish someone had told Radagast that... 1.44: So Thorin was sensible and asked for a lot of black arrows, just in case? Good for him. |

How It Should Have Ended almost always makes more sense than the original.

A Necessary Balance
If someone else has already posted this link, then I apologize for the redundancy. Still, for something like this to appear on The One Ring fan site does merit notice, I think.

Michael Murry, thanks for posting the link!
I found it well-written, as it puts into words what I've felt. More interesting is the comments, which, I guess, are necessary to balance out all of the anti-PJ feelings here.

Apologies for shilling my own stuff, but my (very long) review, and follow up to the first one, is here if anyone would care to read it (although be warned, there's a touch of light swearing for comedic effect as my blog reviews tend to be a bit more rambunctious than my posts on the Downs): http://opinionscanbewrong.blogspot.c...-of-smaug.html

I thought the stereotyping of fans was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, in line with the satirical tone. And the comment section, if anything, has less flaming than I would have expected on TORN.

ToRN really is a cult isn't it?
