The whole premise of the scene
[In reply to]

annoyed me. Why should Bilbo have to stand there being berated by this oaf just so we could all discover that (surprise, surprise!) under that gruff exterior Thorin is really just a softie at heart? And why would Bilbo be grateful to be manhandled by a big grubby dwarf? As he said to the trolls, have you smelled them recently? What made me laugh about the angry hug was that I could picture the writers cackling to themselves about the reaction it would cause among all the crazy shippers. And they were right - they love Thilbo (almost as much as they love Durincest between Kili and Fil .... aaargh!) Speaking of shippers, Martin Freeman was on Graham Norton's Comic Relief chat show last night, and Norton started waving around obscene Sherlock/Watson fanart. Martin was cool and just laughed and said he had seen it, but Richard Curtis, who was sitting next to him looked totally traumatised! At least the Hobbit fanart - so far anyway - doesn't seem to be quite so weird ...

At your first viewing, what was your impression of Thorin's angry speech/hug/apology at the end?
