you know you really are a gem and an inspiration, right? Thanks so much for all your work putting all these geeky thoughts and observations together!!! I had a few comments on some of the observations: 52. This was actually a point I’ve been wanting to make elsewhere, but I’ll make it here: those few seconds of Thorin working as a blacksmith capture exquisitely the way he’s described in the full-length version of “The Quest of Erebor”: “He thought of weapons and armies and alliances, as his great hammer rang in his forge; but the armies were dispersed and the alliances broken and the axes of his people were few; and a great anger without hope burned him, as he smote the red iron on the anvil.” After having seen that scene in the movie, that passage gave me chills when I read it recently. 121. It’s not a cookie that Bofur tastes, it looks like a large (American) biscuit, or more likely a scone. I giggle every time I see him put the bitten one back on the plate with the others for someone else to eat! 229. Gloin wasn’t there. Graham McTavish himself confirmed in a tweet that only Balin and Dwalin from the Company are with him at Azanulbizar. 298. A possible connection to the book, where Thorin uses a big burning branch to knock one of Tom’s front teeth out. 319. Pretty sure that’s Bofur and Bombur helping out. 606. Graham McTavish confirmed in another tweet that his head is stepped on by Nori. I think that settles it! 642. With the sun rising left and a little behind, the Eagles are flying roughly south. Shouldn't they be flying northeast? If they were, the rising sun should be ahead and a bit to the right. This somehow reminds me of Aragorn's comment after Moria: "Legolas! Get the map!" 650. Armitage said in an interview that the fat lip happened during the shooting of the Battle of Azanulbizar. I was under the impression from that interview that that’s where we’d see the fat lip, but maybe I’m wrong.
