The Hobbit: DoS has just premiered in LA on Monday. (Or was it Tuesday? The time difference is making me confused.) And while our chance to see it ourselves in the cinema have not come yet (keep yer hair on, everyone), the media's buzzing. Interviews on talkshows. Articles about the Hobbit in magazines. Even the Colbert Report has launched the "Hobbit Week". (They did this last year too; the host is a Tolkien fan.)

I've been keeping tabs on the Movie ever since September and I've watched the live stream of the premiere for spoilery details. I can't help it. Curiosity always gets me.

Anyway.

There wasn't much I could get from the livestream itself, except a lot of fangirls screaming for Benedict Cumberbatch, and a lot growling (me) at interviewers who keep saying,"...the world Peter Jackson created...". Grrr. Oh, and Fili and Kili gets separated at one point, (possibly while the Company is crossing the river in Mirkwood?) causing them to cherish their relationship as brothers. Hints are being dropped by Aiden Turner about a "flirtatious" Legolas-Tauriel-Kili love triangle.

Honestly, Peter Jackson?

But hold it there; there's still more.

I've gone back to watch all three trailers, as well as some clips, for the Movie, and noticed things I have not, well, noticed before.

1) Attack on Mirkwood.
I think this was discussed before, but I'm just bringing it up so it leads to our second point...

2) Reinforcements from Rivendell.
Remember Figwit? That elf extra from LotR everyone fangirls about? Well, turns out he was Lindir, and I think I see him and an army from Imladris at Mirkwood with Legolas and Thranduil. I think. I'm not too sure. Although there is a possibility of PJ pulling off another movie!Helm's Deep.

3) Orc Intereogation Carried Out by Our Favourite Elf Trio.
Legolas and Tauriel and Thranduil. What makes a livelier company? Anyway, in this clip, the elves interrogates an orc. The orc angers Tauriel--"antagonising" her, in the words of Legolas--and causing her to threaten the orc, and Thranduil to dismiss her. Legolas asks the orc some questions, the orc replying with some very melodramatic sounding lines, before it finally says the line that catches my attention: "My master serves the One." Who is this "One"? We all know it can't be Eru. Can it be Sauron, who, I assume, so arrogantly took up the title of Ilúvatar for himself? Can this mean Azog (*shakes fist at PJ*) works for the Necromancer?

4) Tauriel Showing Her Passion To Fight For Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Tauriel, Tauriel, Tauriel. *sigh* Planning to take on 30 orcs that are going to attack Laketown (?) on her own. And of course, she can't possibly go without Legolas tagging along. He and her, always needs to barge into other people's affairs. And why the hell are the orcs trying to invade to invade Laketown anyway?

So, this is the most I could gather. I may be wrong, I may be correct, but these are just predictions, so I guess we'll have to wait for December 13 to see.
