I also really like that whatsamajig crossbow thing on the roof, and the black arrow being a badass crossbow bolt instead. That makes more sense to me.
YES! So I am not the only one who liked that change, regardless of whether it was probable or not. I attribute the influence of my recent reading of "Stubb Kills a Whale" in Moby Dick. Likewise, I appreciated the vision of Laketown and its denizens and also the emphasis on the effects of the Ring on Bilbo.
Not wild about Necromancer-as-LOST's-Smoke_Monster and especially not wild about the Necromancer's voice. Benedict Cumberbatch's dark, smooth, sinister-dulcet tones were utterly wiped out in the modifications.
