The best thing about DOS that I hope will be in BOTFA (SPOILER!)

I thought there were some really good fight scenes in DOS, and yes some over-the-top (but still enjoyable) action scenes as well, but IMO the best thing about DOS were those moments when there were just two actors talking, starting with Gandalf & Thorin, including Thorin/Thranduil and Tauriel/Thranduil, and culminating with Bilbo/Smaug and a particularly fierce Bilbo/Thorin scene. I think those moments benefitted the movie, allowing us to both catch our breath between action scenes AND helping to develop both the characters and the storyline. I hope we see more of those moments in BOTFA - perhaps between Bard & Thranduil or Bard & Gandalf. Maybe something involving Fili & Kili with Thorin. Certainly there will be an awsome scene between Bilbo & Thorin when he finds out about the Arkenstone, still not sure if Bilbo took it when he fled from Smaug. But oh, that will be a dramatic scene! Thorin should be fully down with the dragon-sickness by then. I'm guessing he will have already said his "I will have WAR" line, but I still don't know how this will play out. Bilbo's still with the dwarves when Thorin asks if they will follow him one last time, which sounds like he's maybe realizing his folly and about to join the battle. But maybe not. Anyway, hoping to see some of those moments of dialogue between the ice chariots & the dwarves on battle rams (I admit it, I'm looking forward to that scene, too).
So what do you think? What, if anything, did you see in DOS that you hope to see in BOTFA?
Why yes, I DO look like Anna Friel!

The angles, the wide zooms, the pacing. All of it. It's scenes like Bilbo/Balin, the Western Guardroom, Bilbo/Smaug, Bilbo/Gandalf, Bilbo/Gollum and some others that are my favourite bits of these movies. The action scenes are just the icing on the cake for me.
I personally find that these movies have a very large and glowing emotional heart on a much more personal and claustrophobic scale than in LOTR.

Really? Alright...
Well, proud to be one I guess.

Was the much firmer grip on the story and tone in DOS and clearer eye on what the general audience wants.
I actually expect BOFA to be better than DOS on these fronts as the tone of this last third is the most settled and the episodic stuff is out of the way.

Often Thorin will finish Gandalf's sentences
Often Dwalin will finish Thorin's sentences,
Often Balin will answer Bilbo's questions..?
