this is a lot of "maybes". [In reply to] Can't Post

Perhaps he wasn't interested in going after Thorin. Maybe he thought the Blue Mountains were too far away to bother. But then he heard that Thorin was in the area and he became determined to get him "this time". Maybe we'll find out in the EE. Maybe we'll find out in the next films. Maybe we'll never know. It's really hard to say.

2) Thorin's backstory is reason enough for him to be after Thorin. But why he would decide this was the right time to get revenge after all these years, and why he would be seeking Thorin along the path the company is taking on their quest rather than in the Blue Mountains where it seems the Dwarves have settled, is not explained. My own sense is that the movie suggests there is a story here - since Gandalf and Thorin have a discussion, when the Wargs first show up, of whom Thorin may have told of his quest.
