Darren@cstross @pdcawley Yeah, the pacing for the first half of Fellowship is kinda weird, but in fairness, very little happens in the book that massively impacts the story before Frodo gets stabbed up on Weathertop.
From Rivendell onwards I was amazed at how close Jackson was able to keep it. I guess it illustrates just how much of those books is purely world building and description.
The Hobbit trilogy, however, can fuck right off.
