[Demosthenes] ok next scene
[AzogTheDefiler] *Thorin
[Silent] Or maybe a promise to the people of Laketown?
[Demosthenes] Bard, fire. Lake-town. what gives?
[Argonath] Thorin promised to “share in the wealth of our people” in DoS. Maybe that is the promise. However, after a destroyed town, is gold an riches a topic the men of former Laketown will ask of him?
[Demosthenes] very short glimpse
[smaugth3drag0n] First off, Bard look badly injured. He can barely stand.
[Demosthenes] what’s going on here? why is bard on this tower?
[perry] he doesn;t seem to have the black arrow when he gets on the parapet
[jenniearcheo] Burning Laketown seems to imply that the Bilbo discussion was indeed about Laketown. Bard’s pleas also seem related
[elentari3018] trailer talk here right? i went out for a sec
[ashwise] pray to get a better shot at smaug
[jenniearcheo] Bard appears to be up on the tower with the Ballista
[Silent] Bard is condemning Thorin for the ruin of Laketown in a sense
[Demosthenes] Bard’s bow is behind him
[jenniearcheo] Scene two, elentari3018
[miriel] on the tower is probably to do the great wind-whatever-made-up-weapon and shoot?
[mib_75qli9] PJ explained once in a interview why the dwarves where splitter up in 2 groups, his answer was: Bofur needs to see the attack on lake town. SO yeah I am pretty sure bofur will be important and help Bard escape the jail. he also was Important in DOS without Bofur Kili was death.
[Demosthenes] He *seems* to be on the tower with the windlance?
[jenniearcheo] Windlance.Ballista. thing
[paddy] bard looks badly injured but im looking forward to the rooftop battle and if you look closely he has his bow and black arrow.
[Argonath] Maybe the promise was about refuge for the Men and Women of Laketown!?
[butterfly] But Bain his the arrow. He’ll need to retrieve it
[butterfly] *hid
[mib_g1zc3p] Bofur is the true hero of the trilogy
[jenniearcheo] I’m sure he did
[mib_g1zc3p] always looking out for bilbo
* mib_g1zc3p is now known as thatJustin
[AzogTheDefiler] I think the windlance will be destroyed and he will have to fire the arrow with his longbow
[Demosthenes] stay on topic please.
[perry] i don’t see bard going up to the tower twice. either he has the arrow or not.
[jenniearcheo] Then we cut to “only ruin and death”
[miriel] Bard, fire. Lake-town. what gives? current topic
[butterfly] yeah, fair enough
[mib_75qli9] PJ explained once in a interview why the dwarves where splitter up in 2 groups, his answer was: Bofur needs to see the attack on lake town. SO yeah I am pretty sure bofur will be important and help Bard escape the jail. he also was Important in DOS without Bofur Kili was death.
[AmydaughterofBev] I am unclear on whether he succeeds in killing Smaug with the windlance or his own bow using the black arrow.
[jenniearcheo] I’m sure it’s right before he fires the killing shot
[paddy] i agree azog if you pause at 0:13 you can see the bow in the background
[elentari3018] Bard probably said that to Thorin when they all go to the mountain to seek them out
[Demosthenes] jennie: you could be right
[paddy] mib stay on topic and stop repeating yourself……….
[Demosthenes] it looks like a setup for a climactic scene
[Demosthenes] ie: the demise of smaug
[smaugth3drag0n] It certainly does.
[Demosthenes] but … smaug is not there.
[jenniearcheo] Interesting, AmydaughterofBev. It may be that we’re being set up to assume it’s the black iron arrow and the windlance, . . . but hat he misses agin
[ashwise] I was thinking that too
[SMAUGG] wat is the BIG opsesion of torin four the gold ?
[butterfly] It echoes back to what Bard said in front of the crows
[butterfly] *crowd
[jenniearcheo] Perhaps he has to grab the bow and get lucky
[mib_75qli9] sure paddy but how ? btw that bodur thing was about brad so it was on topic
[AzogTheDefiler] That scene could also be after he kills Smaug and sees him falling to the lake
[elentari3018] bookverse, smaug should be killed by arrow
[mib_75qli9] tnx
[Demosthenes] azog: after Bard has fired?
[perry] smaug should be killed by the arrow. To make saving it and hiding it make sense.
[Demosthenes] maybe. another good theory
[jenniearcheo] IN the book, of course, it was a “black arrow” that he always retrieved. That hasn’t been set up
[paddy] mib we’re talking about bard and smaug now……. at 0:13 seconds
[AzogTheDefiler] Yes the arrow is not there anymore
[smaugth3drag0n] Balin said “Only a black arrow fired from a windlance can pierce the dragon’s hide
[thatJustin] surprisingly nothing about dragon or thrush in trailer
