You should really check your memory xD But what is your source for "the barrel scene"? because they very much DO RIDE BARRELS down the river in the book, end of chapter 9 and start of 10...the whole orc chase there is not in the book though. The book is after all not very long and since this is a trilogy they took the book as a baseline and had to flesh out the story, adding details, trying to connect it with LoTR (gandalf/galadriel/sauron-sidequest). I do understand the Tauriel/Kili thing is weird...but I suspect its mostly so audience establish a deeper connection to him because of what happens later, so it would feel more impactful

What I loved in the extended cut is that when Gandalf is escaping Dol Guldur, he actually finds Thráin, Thorin's father who was missing/presumed dead but actually captured and trapped there. Gandalf speaks to him and tell him about his son but i don't remember what happens to him afterward. I do remember the extended cuts adding a lot of cool things. I remember at the end in the theater I told my dad "I won't watch the next one ever" because of how it ended. That "I am death" really hits hard tho
