A grievous fallacy. Legolas is born already.
The sins of the sons, and film directors, should not be visited upon the fathers, especially if the fathers are fey, forest-dwelling epitomes of coolness.
I say we vote for Balin. He gets good publicity by sucking up to Hobbits, but he's dull as dust and as the expedition to Moria showed, he can't lead for toffee. With Thorin gone, he might well lead all the remaining Dwarves into the mouth of Smaug!
Besides, his nice but tedious nature threatens the prospects of more deserving competitors. Unite against the Dwarven Sycophant!
A final point-Balin is an anagram of Bail N.
N stands for Necromancer. Balin is secretly trying to bail Sauron from the Void! What a traitor!
++BALIN
