Yeah. I'm really looking forward to seeing Thranduil's kingdom explored a bit more. It's definitely looking promising so far.
I have just got our comment conversations spectacularly confused. Please insert ramblings about dragons here.
The movie doesn't go into much, really, when it comes to that, though I suppose it would have felt like pointless exposition to a lot of people. I have to forcibly remind myself that not everyone gets as enthusiatic about things as me. But it is in the LotR appendices that the Dwarven rings only ever managed to exaggerate their bearers' gold-lust if they managed to get a hold on them at all, and it says in LotR that four of the seven were melted destroyed by dragon-fire while Sauron only got to reclaim three of them. So maybe they did draw dragons in part? Or, at least, made the dragons more likely to come by spreading sickness and obsession and all those other lovely things that the creatures of Morgoth liked to feed off.
