So many people got pissed about this, and it's understandable. So why don't more people get pissed at reality TV shows? Really, they're all fabricated (some to a greater extent than others) and they try to play it off like what you're watching is real life.

Praying for you, Praxus (not sarcasm).

Yeah, the only Saw movie I saw was the third one. It was a bit much. I'd be interested to see the first one though.

I'm really looking forward to seeing all the new characters from all the different areas of Middle-earth. In AUJ, the only noteworthy characters that weren't already in LotR were young Bilbo, Radagast, and the dwarves; and Thorin and Balin seemed to be the only ones with any sort of depth. Azog I don't really consider a character. More like an annoying CGI vengeance machine. The Goblin King had some spunk, but he really didn't do much. Maybe there will be more of him in the extended cut.

In the coming films we'll see Beorn, Tauriel, Thranduil, Bard & son, the master of Laketown, Dain & crew, the Necromancer/Sauron...

Oh yeah. SMAUG.

Among others. Can't say I have my hopes too high, but I'm still excited.
