![]() If, however, you are in the anti-Jackson camp, the debut trailer for The Desolation of Smaug ought to give you plenty of material for derision. If HBO ever makes a small-screen version of Tolkien's tome, it would be little surprise if Aragorn turned up to rescue Bilbo from the clutches of Gollum and the 13 dwarves were combined into just three. Such deliberate myopia is made easier when watching Game of Thrones, HBO's adaptation of George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice, which is beginning to mess with its source so furiously that it makes Jackson's Hobbit look positively saintly by comparison. Personally, I've got my head round the liberal tinkering that Jackson has made with this prequel to The Lord of the Rings by imagining the whole thing as an expensive fantasy TV miniseries that just happens to be showing on the big screen.
