Has anyone noticed the black cat in Bree at the beginning of DoS? It's the same cat that PJ put into the Fellowship of the Ring, when the hobbits are in Bree looking for Gandalf. :3 adorableness

Probably a trained animal actor.

Mae govannen, Amberfly! Welcome to Middle Earth; here, have some lembas bread. *hands lembas wafer*

I agree; even putting aside science and logic, what was the reasoning behind it? I really didn't see much. A dragon does not fear a statue, nor a dwarf, so any attempt to intimidate was silly. Furthermore, covering a dragon in gold doesn't make much sense either - the plating would protect Smaug from the heat, and even if all of that gold was an attempt to drown Smaug in his greed, it obviously didn't work.

Weird.

You're right, though - it was super fun to watch.

Me personally, I wasn't a big fan of Tauriel overall. Even if they were trying to make a strong female character, that's not what I got from her. She seemed like a woefully love-triangled elf, nothing more; after all, all elves are pretty handy with bows and blades, and she didn't particularly emanate any extraordinary skills - except the weird morgul-blade healing scene. As I've mentioned before, she heavily reminded me of Arwen with a few more action scenes and love conflicts.

About Smaug: I think you're missing something. Dragons LOVE gold; he wasn't scared, he was basking in the glory of the giant golden statue. Sure the physics aspect doesn't make sense, but a lot of stuff in Arda doesn't. And that molten gold would be very hot, even if Smaug is a dragon, and if he swallows some it will probably not be good for him. Obviously he's alright, though.

Very, very true about swallowing the gold. I understand that he was basking in the glory, but I didn't quite understand the reasoning behind letting him soak in the glory.

Good point, though!

i did they where trying to make the gold solidify on him and freeze him into solid gold but they didn't have enough gold to do that xd.

[[Braveheart]]

I do agree. I don't like Thranduil that much. It just breaks my heart to see her break Legolas' heart. If Leggy didn't like her, she'd be fine, but still....AUGH!...

They had enough gold to cover Smaug, but it's impossible to get a dragon to stay still long enough to let it cool/harden.

My phone keeps auto correcting the name Frodo to deodorant LOL.
