to make the Hobbit i agree that is has to be "upgraded" from more of a childrens book(sorry dont mean to offend anyone here!?) to something of a similar vein to LOTR. Personally i could have done with more of a dark edge to LOTR than it already had in places(e.g. Shelobs lair & Dwimorberg not enough menace for my tastes!) so the Hobbit has a long way to go in terms of its overall "feeling" to reach that. take for example the troll scene as a main difference in how some of the creatures are looked upon between the 2 stories- in the hobbit they are comical even though they eat you!
look we dont want to change things too drastically but a huge resounding YES that they have to tie in together but whilst somehow retaining an air of a difference- not like ones the infant while the others all grown up!
it is tricksy but all the ingredients are there dol guldur-sauron, thrain/map & key-gandalf thinks of bilbo, trolls/finding sting-statues/sword handover etc etc loads of great story beginnings not too mention the resounding WHOPPER that is gollum,bilbo and the ring!
i read the hobbit again recently and as i much as i enjoyed it i couldnt help but feel my satisfaction was all the more because having read/watched LOTR and read unfinished tales the joining together of all the different details of the story threads made it all the richer and lent it a greater historical epic slant rather than just a stand alone they meet they greet they travel they unravel the end!!
