We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

OK, so I just saw the new/extended Hobbit trailer, and I'm all peeved. Because in it, Thorin says, "We shall take back Erebor!"

Which is totally wrong! The Dwarves were a company of 13: their only goal was to steal back some of their inheritance which Smaug had stolen. The days of the great dragon-slayers were over, and they had no power, no army, and no hope of defeating Smaug. They just wanted to get in and out quietly and quickly, and get as much gold and gems as they could.

That they did, in fact, cause the end of Smaug and the revival of Erebor was a completely unintentional result. Thorin is a (mostly) practical Dwarf, and he knew better.

Oh, PJ, why do you do this to me?

See, I still can't get over the fact that there are hot dwarves. It's just WRONG. (I mean, I do appreciate the hotness, but WRONG for dwarves.)

Heh, that too! Although some of them are not hot at all, and that totally helps.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. I'm mainly suffering from trauma due to the amount of Bilbo/Smaug already out there.

Not that I can blame Jackson for that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What, how is that a thing.

What, how is that a thing.

Very uncomfortably, I suspect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, a little google makes that clear.

Holmes/Watson?

It's neither complicated nor gross.
