Not sure if it was my first time but definitely the most dramatic. couldn't have done it without Eldo though - I can't take all the credit.

[Mrs Figg]

His name was Yoouper Grimple

From an interview with Armitage-

I think knowing that his father and his grandfather have been touched by this dragon sickness which doesn’t necessarily affect all dwarves, but some dwarves are susceptible to it. It’s this attraction to gold which becomes their downfall, has always been at the back of his mind.
But we haven’t really got into the mountain yet, and had to play around with the dragon sickness, but I think it’s going to be very interesting. I’ve looked at all sorts of different– I’ve looked at drug addiction, and along those lines, so that it actually has a physical effect on him, his mind and his body.

The Arkenstone is certainly something which he covets and craves. And he knows that without that gem, he can never truly be king. So that takes on a real significance, like a talisman that he obsesses over in a similar way to the Ring.
We’ve discussed The Hobbit, and why we need to take him. But in terms of this story, it does unfold as we go along that we need a hobbit to go in to try and find the Arkenstone.
from Thorin’s point of view, I think he’s thinking less about the gold and more about his people and his own personal agenda with his grandfather, his father, and his nemesis Azog who slaughtered his grandfather.
I don’t think there’s a single page left in the script that hasn’t changed.
We did some fighting, which was basically part of a prologue of when the dwarves take the gates of Moria.
I think I put a shield through my lip and I smashed the shield in and had a mouthful of blood and this big, huge broken lip, and he said, “Okay, can you just try another one now?” I’m like, “Yeah, okay”, with this big mouthful of blood. But it looks great on the shot, because I’ve got this sort of bleeding teeth and it’s dripping out of my face.'

Interesting to hear. I wonder how the prologue will fit in with the framing scenes.

[Pettytyrant101]

Seems the Arkenstone is going to play a bigger overall role in things- and this dragon sickness thing, with its shades of drug addiction seems reminiscent of the Ring.
It seems there is no mention however of the 7 dwarf rings or the fact that it is they which inflame the dwarven greed. Instead we have this strange 'dragon sickness' concept.

[Eldorion]

Yeah, where did PJ and his hackish co-writers ever come up with a stupid idea like dragon sickness?

The old Master had come to a bad end. Bard had given him much gold for the help of the Lake-people, but being of the kind that easily catches such disease he fell under the dragon-sickness, and took most of the gold and fled with it, and died of starvation in the Waste, deserted by his companions.

Oh, I guess that's where they got it.

[David H]

If they do mention the 7 dwarf rings, I hope it's briefly and without much explanation. These things should be learned at about the same rate that Bilbo learns them or it deflates what comes later. That's one of the things I particularly admired about your LotR edit!
