I hope this is just non-spoiler spoiler where there's like a 3-second scene of Kili's infatuation with Tauriel and we then just move on to better things...but somehow with The Hobbit I'm always feeling the worst. I'm even imagining bearded jokes galore and the dwarves getting imprisoned because Kili is schmoozing on the pretty-elf warrior lady of Thranduil's court. Forbidden romance subplot for the win! *headdesk*

As long as it's Kili, not Fili...

This is blasphemy though. Come on, we already had Gimli pining for Galadriel (which is all fine and canonical). Do they think every decent dwarf needs an elf to lust after? Eww.

My inner khazad disapproves.

I think this is where my cynicism about The Hobbit is coming from...we just get a rehashing of certain plot points for the sake of nostalgia...and it's really annoying. Kili supposedly an infatuation with Tauriel. I can only assume Legolas is in the film so he can be at the Battle of Five Armies to give us some more shield-sliding CGI spinning tricks, and obviously lines like "Goblins!" "He's here!"

I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm also not very hopeful. Granted my reading of The Hobbit is biased by the fact I read it after LOTR, and thus have never seen it as a "prequel" to LOTR, but as a separate, precise story in a large and expansive universe. But, I'm really worried by PJ et all, seemingly wanting to recycle LOTR storylines, only using different characters.

The really sad bit is that the whole thing is plausible.

Hey PJ: that's why hardcore Tolkien fans have been so critical of your movies. Not that you're much fussed about it, naturally.

Especially since I haven't seen any casting for Galion... and the progress reports have the dwarfs in open barrels not packed in as in the books..which rather suggests that the escape from the king's palace is not going to be as in the books.

Fill the canon cannon with offal, and fire the fodder in one farcical fusillade of flippant flummery. Kili the elleth-killah!

The most fascinating piece of information in that 'spoiler' is that Tauriel is apparently 20 feet tall, revealing her maternal descent from the Misty Mountain giants.

You know what I like about this? What I really really like about this? What made me proud and happy like saying "I told you so" makes you feel?

I like that most of the comments on the bottom are against this romance!

PS: They would choose Kili. He's the Elf that's called a Dwarf.
