The whole Kili injured plot line annoyed the crap out of me, but my friend pointed out that as a whole we don't really spend enough time in Laketown to really empathize with the characters so by leaving Kili, Fili, and ... I think Bofur? behind you suddenly care a crap ton more about Smaug being all "I am fire, I am DEATH" and flying off to obviously fuck shit up in Laketown. I still think it's poor writing and is going to cause all sorts of weirdness in the next movie since suddenly you have a slew of hardcore archers in Laketown to take down Smaug as opposed to just Bard.

AYRT

I don't mind them humanising Bard & Laketown at all, but I don't think they needed to leave half the party there to manage it. We got enough from Bard's trying to smuggle them in and keep them safe to care about him and his family and what happens to them. I think that made enough impact for people to think it matters when Smaug comes to town (and to make everything Thorin said in that speech of his hurt twice as much).

I think we can care enough about Bard and his kids on their own merits, really? Having Fili and Kili in particular still in Laketown and presumably with Bard in the aftermath when he marches on Erebor with Thranduil is going to screw things up, and it makes me nervous.
