With your post, especially your comments on Bard. I guess I've come to the right forum, though maybe I should have come prior to the movie when you were losing the argument. :). I always liked Thorin despite his book flaws and always saw that there was more to the dwarves than gold. When I read LotR, the appendix made me like the dwarves even more and Thorin in particular. Movie Thorin really brings the appendix Thorin to life, and I'm glad they chose that path.
