They were:
Balin's 'The enemy got there first' about the attempt to reclaim Moria reminded me of Gandalf's 'The enemy found him first' when talking about his search for Gollum.
And Thorin's 'What help came from the Elves?' when he and Gandalf are talking at the abandoned farmhouse made me think of Theoden's 'Where was Gondor when...' speech at Helm's Deep.
I don't know that either means anything particularly; they just triggered memories of LOTR for me. No bad thing really 
"...under all there was a great joy: a fountain of mirth enough to set a kingdom laughing, were it to gush forth."

The Gollum one is obviously deliberate, though others could be coincidential
