I still think Del Toro could very well do a good job with The Hobbit. The author's points about the story being a less action-oriented, but more meandering, odyssey seems to me like it would be very suitable for Del Toro (I'm thinking about Pan's Lab, and how well the atmosphere was captured in it). And it seems like the author is purely speculating about the weak "bromance" between Jackson and Del Toro. Maybe they'll work very well together!
