   I'm dubious of that: everything I've seen Jackson say has been   
   consistent with the idea that /The Hobbit/ really will be the focus of   
   all these films, no matter how much material from the Appendices gets   
   drawn in. (It's hard for me to imagine a coherent plot arc that   
   Jackson could construct across three films or even just the third that   
   pulled in any material after Frodo's departure into the West. What   
   would be the conflict there, or the climax?)
