Bilbo fully embraces his role as hero and finds a way to save the dwarves — but not before we find out how the Elvenking distrusts the dwarves while comparing himself to the great wealthy kings of old.

This week we also look at:

• 
  
• The announcement of a new Lord of the Rings land/attraction in a new Universal park.
  
• The significance of the elves residence in caves.
  
• Why is the elf king so petty?
  
• The strength of Dorwinion wine.
  
• How effective are these magic doors really?
  

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

• 
  
• AI Tolkien reading his “Noel” poem.
  
• What would be a right and proper Lord of the Rings ride?
  
• Do we have any confidence in someone building a Lord of the Rings attraction?
