Well, your journal has been very informative about Richard Armitage. Now I'm totally on board with him as Thorin (not that I was ever opposed, but basically I did not know anything about him at all). =D

Or at least the ones with a greater gap between what society expects of them, and what they expect of themselves. Not outright evil, but those caught in between.

That's a good way of putting it. Probably about where I stand.
