This Tauriel business smacks of trying to shoehorn in a love story. Aragorn/Arwen worked well, especially because Jackson dropped the ridiculous idea to have her show up at Helm's Deep. This is just... Peter, son, what the smurf are you doing?

I love this world and I want to see more of it but.... ahh, I don't know. I want to like it. I truly do. I really, really want to like it.
I had no problems with Arwen's extended role in the Trilogy. It made sense and really, did anyone miss Glorfindel? Nope.

But I have no idea why they felt the need to put in any kind of romantic element for The Hobbit. And why Kate?! I hate Kate! Go away Kate, no one wants you!

Did anyone watch the first installment of the Hobbit and think, "man, you know what's really missing here? A love story."

I think PJ is taking The Hobbit into a really weird direction and it makes me sad. Not saying that the first movie wasn't good. I was definitely entertained and parts of it were perfect. But The Hobbit is such a wondrous and magical story to me. And PJ seems more intent on making it a action flick. I need more whimsy!
