The killing of the dragon, Smaug (and all that that entails)! Have you ever noticed that the killing of Smaug (seen here in Tolkien's own pencil sketch) looks a heck of a lot like Led Zeppelin's iconic "Icarus" logo?  What's up with that? Here Dr. Cameron and I discuss the nature of the dragon, the cosmogonic elements of fire and water, and the difference between a Master (of Laketown) and a King (Bard) - b/c there is definitely a difference.
