I think both TDOS and BO5A look epic!

I have to admit that I wouldn't mind also seeing a version for "Riddles in the Dark". That being said, I think it is a matter of a choice of two goods and figuring out which is better and more popular - rather than a matter of whether or not either is any good (and that's my opinion). Between these two visions for the epic trilogy: 1 An Unexpected Journey 2 Riddles in the Dark 3 There and Back Again 1 An Unexpected Journey 2 The Desolation of Smaug 3 The Battle of Five Armies I'd say the first puts the emphasis on character development and the journey (my personal favorite) while the second puts the emphasis on epic battles and politics (currently popular today according to what I hear from other fans). It's down to a matter of taste and preference, now. Either way things fall, it seems that most of the story will be there and it will be done justice and be fun to watch.
Show or do not show, there is no tell.

Desolation refers to the destruction caused by Smaug
