LOL... we posted the same thing at the same time, nearly.

I'm very disappointed, naturally. I like the Hobbit well enough, but my heart lies with the Dunedain. I was really hoping for a true "bridge" movie. But then again... with the changes they made to the canon, maybe it's best to leave well enough (or poor enough, depending on your point of view about the LOTR movies) alone.

I will miss seeing Viggo as Aragorn, though. *sigh*
