We’re done. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

With the timing of Christmas and New Year, we never quite got round to discussing the Hobbit teaser trailer in the Hall of Fire.

This weekend we’re going to remedy that with a special topic: five things we loved about the Hobbit teaser trailer!

Join us on Saturday January 14 at 5pm EST when we’ll proceed to go a bit trailer crazy and gush about the things in the teaser that caught our attention.

What was it for you? Maybe it was Gandalf in that mysterious location. Maybe it was Bag End! Maybe it was the dwarves singing. Maybe… maybe it was nothing!

Whichever it was, be sure to join our special Hall of Fire chat on Saturday and let us know what you think! Continue reading “Hall of Fire this weekend: five Hobbit teaser things!”

Come join us right now in the Hall of Fire as we chat about the events of the penultimate chapter of The Hobbit. Chapter 18: The Return Journey.

We’re done, folks! Thanks to everyone who joined us. Next weekend’s topic: Five things you loved about the Hobbit teaser! See you then!

“Victory after all, I suppose! Well, it seems a very gloomy business.” The Hobbit chapter 18: The Return Journey.

This weekend, TORn’s Hall of Fire returns from the Christmas/New Year break with the penultimate chapter of our Hobbit read-through.

The Battle of the Five Armies is over. All that remains to be tallied is the cost. We’ll explore the fate of the company: do each get what they deserve? Does Thorin truly repent his harsh words at Erebor’s gates? And is Bilbo truly changed by his deeds and adventures? Is he a hero? A survivor? Or something else?

Join us tomorrow, Saturday January 7 at 5pm EST (New York time) when we’ll examine all these questions and more as we discuss The Hobbit chapter 18: The Return Journey! Continue reading “Hall of Fire chats return tomorrow!”
