Do the discrepencies in The Hobbit bother any of you? Such as the giants in the Misty Mountains, goblins instead of orcs (though that isn't a big one), evil elves (Thranduil), or the desert wyrms Bilbo talks about in the east. After reading the LotR and Silm I don't like to read The Hobbit because it doesn't really tie into the same history as the other books do so neatly. Or am I just crazy?
