In this episode, we discuss the chapter “A Warm Welcome” – and about 30 minutes of “The Desolation of Smaug” from the time Bard shows up until most of the dwarves leave Lake-town. Our discussion includes:

  • How Bilbo's "luck" guides the adventure
  • Lake-town's portrayal in the movies vs. the book
  • The prophecy on the return of the Durin’s Folk to Erebor
  • Tauriel as a moral compass
