Bilbo’s Birthday Bash: BotFA Time Capsule - Capsules will be sealed after 29 September

(Please read this entire post before responding. Thank you.)
Sep 22, Bilbo's birthday. In honour of THE Hobbit whose adventure and experiences were so pivotal in the course of both TH and LotR, let's do a time capsule of our thoughts and expectations of BotFA, the last part of Bilbo's big adventure. I know, I know, we've had discussions about all that. But it's been all over the place, inspired by the focus of the thread being read or the current hot topic. Let's do a snapshot of our respective thoughts and opinions about BotFA, collated - as they are right now, in our heads (which imo, is a great time, just before we're all completely messed up by the spoilers the PR machine is already starting to unleash).
The key thing, and the FUN, is no analysing or commenting on anyone's time capsule right now. Rather, the fun will be coming back to look at what's in our minds at this point in time, but AFTER BotFA comes out and discuss/review how close, or far, our thoughts and opinions have changed.
As TORn is a free-posting board, with minimum edit rights for users, some house rules are needed to minimise chaos, with minimum hassle to the Mods. Hopefully, this is how the thread looks when we get going.
Ready? Here's the how-to
How to add your time capsule post
From today, Sep 22, until Sep 29, anyone can post your time capsule. I will request the mods to lock the thread by Sep 30, thereby creating our capsule. Time capsule posters should click the "Reply to this Post" on this post only, ie the OP post.
Suggested post format is as follows. Once again, bear with me - this is not to be regimental but to have a semblance of theme for ease of reference and comparison when we "unearth" this capsule thread.
Post subject
This is also to help remind those who aren't putting up their capsules but want to add their $0.02 where to put that $0.02

How to comment or opiniate on this thread?
Unless you're adding your capsule, please post everything else, that is, all your questions and comments as a response to the next post titled "Questions, Comments & Discussions". That is, you should click the "Reply to this Post" on the next post to give your $0.02. This way, we keep the capsules intact and uncluttered until we come back to unearth them
Simple, right? What say you? Game on?
Fan of both books and movies; I am a lurker by nature though it seems I have severely misnamed myself... for the moment.
