Description

This week, we switch our focus away from the Lonely Mountain to discover what happened to Smaug in Chapter 14 of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, "Fire And Water". Does Bard become more three-dimensional every time we see him? Are the people of Esgaroth really wrong to believe in prophecy? Why is Smaug's final resting place cursed?
