I liked the extra bits with Beorn, I thought it made him look taller which I liked..., crossing the stream was amusing and nice to see the stag too... the Thrain bit is a little odd, but I like this little scene for bringing more material from the appendices to light... I guess he's killed off as in the appendix notes, Gandalf is forced to leave him there, to escape himself I believe, and that might not come over too well in the movie...Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.com
