With the recent wrap-up of True Detective‘s spectacular first season, I’m left with one gigantic itch that needs some scratching (No, not that kind of itch).

…for awesomeness, that is! Now while I feel that the first chapter in The Hobbit Trilogy was the weakest of all of Peter Jackson’ Lord of the Rings film thus far (it managed the feat of feeling both bloated and also not having enough to it at the same time), it was still the best time you could have with dwarves without having to visit Darryn …
