--- Zitat ---Talking about Angmar and the Lonely Mountain as the 'key to conquering the North':  there is an interesting theory on what Sauron meant with that, here: http://musingsofatolkienist.blogspot.com/2015/01/gundabad-what-was-that-exactly.html?m=1
--- Ende Zitat ---

I have just read the link you had posted above and I have to say that this theory which is pointed out there does not really make sense at all.
The theory skips the problem, that Sauron would surely not count on some drawfs and a Hobbit to defeat one of the mightigest Dragons in middle earth.
So what Sauron should have done if those had never tried to recapture the lonely mountain or failed by trying to do so ?
It was almost not possible they would be successful.
But in the end Sauron is supposed to bulid his whole strategy of conquering middle earth on accidents which he noticed recently .
Please this is just absurd.

ThorinsNemesis:
Actually he didn't know Smaug would be killed, he thought Azog or later Bolg would stop the Dwarves, and on the map shown in the site Sauron has intended the Lonely Mountain as a stopping point for his armies sent for Angmar, as he had been in league with Smaug as told in DOS EE. But, on their way, the armies of Azog understand Smaug is killed and change tactics: kill the Dwarves, take Erebor, and then march to Angmar, only to hear by Bolg that the Elves have come to the mountain too, sending him to Gundabad.
I know, there are no exact logical theories, but this one seems the most likely to me.

--- Zitat von: hoho96 am 24. Mai 2015, 12:51 ---- The Dwarves encounter with Smaug (the battle of the forges). Although the action looked freak'n awesome, but it literally makes no sense whatsoever; The whole point of bringing Bilbo is to sneak to the mountain the steal the gem. They were scared to death from Smaug. Why would they ever go YOLO on him!!
and then after the ridiculous golden weapon plan, why would Smaug go to kill the poor lake men. The Dwarves were right under his mercy after their "plan" to entomb him failed.

I had completely forgotten about that scene (and with good reason, considering how ludicrous it got).

- oh yes, and Alfrid the servant of the Master of Lake-Town  :-|

I saw many videos and sites on the Internet that also tell the Necromancer is going to question Gandalf about the bearers of the Three Rings of Power before Galadriel comes, I think maybe in these scenes they will make Gandalf see the vision with Smaug through the palantir  xD.
