Was it really odd to anyone else that the credits didn't feature character sketches of Luke Evans/Bard or Lee Pace/Thranduil? Both characters were really important to the plot - moreso than Galadriel or Elrond - but weren't featured at all.

Like Psychotic, I was really sad we didn't get to see the resolution for the dwarves and the humans of Dale. I feel like I missed some pretty significant closure in not seeing Thorin laid to rest with the Arkenstone and Orcrist - returned by Thranduil himself and giving that character a little more dimension, too. Or wait, is Orcrist the sword Legolas threw to him? If so, then I'm again irritated.
