And I also like the look Thorin has when Elrond tells him about Orcrist - like he shows sudden interest in the sword, not because it is made by elves, but because of it's name and by implication what it has already done. And he accepts it graciously when Elrond gives it to him, perhaps in part because he acknowledges that Orcrist is Elrond's to give, as it was forged by his kin. I wonder what Thorin would have done, had the roles been reversed. Would he have give a famous, Dwarven sword to an elf?

They're trying to emphasize the Dwarf vs. Elf friction.

There was an earlier thread where a poster got rather upset about reading something in the thread that he didn't know.
