Me too. I liked The Hobbit enough to ask for the extended edition for Christmas. I thought Martin Freeman was adorable. Am I not supposed to like him, is he a bad person somehow?

At first I was side-eying the addition of an original character to expand on the Xena!Arwen concept (I think it was a secret here, haha). But when I read on their reasoning for including Tauriel, I accept it. Mirkwood elves are glossed over in the books, right? And they did their research in naming her. She sounds awesome. Maybe I just have a soft spot for lowborns who prove themselves. Also, kudos for creating a character for young girls watching the film, as someone said earlier in this thread.

Re: Freeman, I personally don't see him as a bad person, he just has a tacky sense of humor sometimes, exacerbated by the fact that his delivery is very dry and British, so it's easy to take what's intended as a joke seriously. In poor taste sometimes, but not a terrible human being.

I bought the EE and let Mum wrap it up as a present (we do that - anything that comes in from about mid-November gets wrapped for Xmas).

I also like the idea of a kick-ass female character (that doesn't go remaking the canon females). The only things about her that erk me is the Kíli romance aspect and her hair colour.

Kíli I can shrug off and think "LOL, cute. Didn't happen in my AU.", and hair colour... well as much as I am a Fëanorion fangirl, even I know it's a bit petty to get upset because she has a hair colour I associate with my favourite son of the Silmaril maker (i.e. Maedhros - he's a redhead).

Yes, the hair-colour! It bothers me a bit too, even though I like her otherwise.
Maybe she just decided to dye it because she's in her rebellious phase and that colour will get reactions. ;)

Oh yes! Red hair would get a reaction in Mirkwood, considering the upper class are Sindar of whom the elder ones probably lived in Doriath! That's like, a kid from a conservative Christian family going goth and blatantly wearing pentgrams! XD

I personally thought her name was ever so slightly unimaginative, but I doubt the majority of the movie-goers cares. And I have to laugh at the thought that she was one of those kids who shared her name with about half the class. :D
I think adding a female character was a good move in regards to little children watching the movie. Not all cool characters have to be men. And children probably don't give a damn if she was in the original story or not.

As for Martin Freeman, he often seems like he doesn't care if he says some unfortunate things. Doesn't change the fact that I really like his Bilbo.
