Matthias AustinHOST

Matthias AustinHOST
In the year 3001 of the Third Age, Bilbo and Frodo celebrate their joint 111th and 33rd birthday, and Bilbo departs the Shire for Rivendell, leaving Bag End and the One Ring to Frodo.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
We're given a history of how did this come to be? And of course, that is exactly what happens in The Hobbit.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
The Hobbit begins with the dwarves explaining the history of their feud with the dragon to Bilbo in his house, right? How did it come to be this situation that you're out of your homeland and you need to return to the Lonely Mountain and get your treasure back? So they have to tell him what happened, that the dragon came and took it from them, right? In fire and death.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
And Thorin's father barely escaped with his life and so on and so forth.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
And that's exactly what is being done here.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
And then he goes back to his horde.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
which is what Smaug does.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
He sallies forth from the Lonely Mountain, he destroys the surrounding land, and he returns to sleep on the Horde.
Sean Philip CooperHOST
And this, of course, means that the land around him is a waste for a good long while, because he just keeps doing that.
JohnHOST
However, in the dwarves, I as a Jew can't help but see parallels to the Jews of old.
JohnHOST
In the repeatedly being repelled from their halls in the Lonely Mountain and having to wander, I see parallels to the wanderings of the desert before coming to the promised land, the land of Doran, not unlike the descendants of Moses.
JohnHOST
The Lonely Mountain itself, not unlike Jerusalem, beset by many foes, but the dwarves once exiled from their first settlements never failed to, against slim odds, retake their home and land of prosperity.
JohnHOST
Also paralleled in the Torah.
JohnHOST
I'm sure there's plenty more you see as I do, but frankly, I don't want to flood you with excessive Old Testament comparison.
speaker_0HOST
Yes.
speaker_0HOST
Y- you can almost hear him telling Gandalf that he has a, uh, prior engagement to reorganize his study, or that the weather simply isn't permitting a trek to the Lonely Mountain that week.
speaker_1HOST
He expands on that sentiment with wonderful precision, too.
speaker_1HOST
He tells the interviewer, "I had no desire whatever to place myself in an awkward position just for the sake of adventure."
Adam FloydHOST
I wrote that a long time ago.
Adam FloydHOST
We also did Erebor.
Adam FloydHOST
Erebor's pipe club, I think it was.
Adam FloydHOST
I think it was their pipe club and their most smoked competition.
Adam FloydHOST
And now we're heading over to Rivendell, man.
8 MINS LATER
Nick MasellaHOST
Food and lodging are freely given while the visitors remain in the valley as has long been the custom of the House of Elrond.
Nick MasellaHOST
Thus comes a peculiar company to Rivendell each year.
Nick MasellaHOST
There are men from the settlements of Arnor and the roads about Bree, hobbits who venture eastward from the Shire and even few dwarves from Erebor, and the Iron Hills who wish to see what the elves could possibly teach them concerning the shaping of wood and craft.
JonathanGUEST
And so these are problems that I have.
JonathanGUEST
They introduced this awesome musical theme for The Lonely Mountain.
JonathanGUEST
they have this epic song in the first movie.
JonathanGUEST
Oh, it's great.
JonathanGUEST
I was so disappointed in that.
JonathanGUEST
I remember being so mad in the theaters when I'm like, wait, why are they, why is this epic theme not coming back? Because I was excited to get more music that was that theme, and then I didn't get any.
JonathanGUEST
And I remember the scene when the dwarves decide to join the battle of five armies, and they storm out of the Lonely Mountain.
JonathanGUEST
I remember thinking in the theaters, I thought to myself, if they made the intentional decision to withhold this theme for the last movie and this point up to here, just to save it for this moment, that will have been worth it.
ZachHOST
Yeah, exactly the same thing.
ZachHOST
They do that all the time in Erebor, you know.
DonovanHOST
Yeah, that's what I heard.
DonovanHOST
That's what I heard.
D.J. TaylorGUEST
But no, no, that's not how sagas work.
D.J. TaylorGUEST
So you have to have another 800 pages of Frodo and Sam making their way up to the Lonely Mountain, whereas...
D.J. TaylorGUEST
It struck me that if the eagles had been treated properly, they could have intervened to advantage much, much earlier in the book.
D.J. TaylorGUEST
But again, that's not how books of that nature work.
RobertHOST
It took him 110 days, about three and a half months of hard travel every day, before he finally found Rivendell, and when he got to there, he discovered that others had also been drawn there.
RobertHOST
Legolas from Mirkwood to tell of Gollum's escape, Gimli from Erebor to tell of Sauron making contact with them, the Hobbits from the Shire, and Gandalf freshly escaped from Saruman.
RobertHOST
It can only have seemed like fate.
RobertHOST
Councils were taken, as per his dream.
MilesHOST
Like, either the commander's a dwarf, or there's a lot of dwarves that care about equipment.
MilesHOST
Um, so Vow to Erebos, Erebor.
MilesHOST
Vow to Erebor is one and a white for an instant.
MilesHOST
It says, "Untap target creature you control.
MilesHOST
It gets +2 +2 until end of turn.
