I do think you are right the show probably didn't have a big enough budget to get a TV Show Version of what The Lord of The Rings Films and now The Hobbit Films present to fans. However with other British TV Series like Doctor Who and Sherlock I would think they might have around the same type of budget or possible more then Merlin yet they constantly give fans these big epic movie like stories in a TV Series like format.

You are right about the male characters in The Hobbit wearing a lot of make up compared to The Lord of Rings Films 10-Years Ago. In those films we basically only had a small amount of male characters wearing a lot of make up now with these films there is a whole lot more. An I did notice The Lord of The Rings Music coming on when Gollum dropped The Ring it made me smile when I heard it because it was a nice way of saying for the fans of what is to come in the story.
