Well.. when you turn it into a trilogy, and are borrowing from the LOTR appendices, as Jackson is doing, what can you expect 😉 I don’t mind either; all those events like Gandalf et al. fighting the Necromancer did happen while Bilbo and company were proceeding towards Erebor. Nice to see them detailed and fleshed out (even if he doesnt quite follow the literal storyline of the book).
It explains a lot of Ford's decision making if this is what the Chief MOH believed (or didn't) and what he was passing along to the government for advice. #onpoli
Awesome.
Mind you, it’s not The Hobbit. It’s more “History of Middle Earth during the Pre-War-of-the-Ring late Third Age”. But that’s cool too.
