One of the things that struck me about tv spot 6 was how right his speech felt. Clearly that was created dialog as in the book, that scene is more or less him humoring himself by using the ring to sneak past Balin and surprise the group and then recounting a slightly altered version of his escape. I am sure those events will stay but blended with that speech and the subtle friction between him and Thorin gave it a much more adult feel. While his sentiments in that speech were not directly lifted from the text I think it is true to one of the themes in the story of Bilbo finding his true self throughout his adventure which happens many times and in different situations as his "Tookish" side comes out. Hopefully any monolog and dialog that wasn't from the book and in the scenes or events we speculate that were only mentioned in the book or appendices that are going to be fleshed out can capture that same feel. I think many of the actors are up to it, hopefully the script will be too. We won't know until the movie comes out but seeing a little more of Bilbo continues to alleviate the anxiety of turning the Hobbit into a trilogy. I am not saying that every non book invention will appear as good as that scene but if 85% was I feel giving us more of Middle Earth was definitely worth the effort.
