Why postpone Smaug's death? [In reply to] Can't Post
Because it gives the journey through Erebor more mystery and menace, as the audience along with the dwarves and hobbit fear that the dragon could return at any time. It's the same effect produced by the alternating books of LotR, on a smaller scale.
