sweet! [In reply to] Can't Post
Nice insights!

It's interesting to see what non-geeks think. We get so lost in our own viewpoint ... we need to step outside it and see what others are seeing.

I think the "episodic nature" of The Hobbit (the book even more so... and Narnia had the same structure) must be an artifact of the time and place the book was written. We have such different standards for storytelling now.
Go outside and play...
