the_gneech"Well yeah, there was that whole war thing," Alex said. "But I always figured it was more personal than that. I mean, Legolas's father held Glóin prisoner in The Hobbit until Bilbo smuggled him out; and since Legolas comments that he's seen an oak tree grow from an acorn to a withered ruin, we can assume he's at least a few hundred years old, so he was probably there at the time. When Glóin and Gimli showed up at Rivendell and found Legolas there, Glóin probably gave him a lot of choice words and Gimli, being a family-minded dwarf of the respectable kind, just picked up the banner."
"Heh," said Greg. "I hadn't put that together before. But yes, you're right, Glóin and Legolas probably met 'off-screen' during The Hobbit. That would certainly put a more personal spin on why Gimli is always giving him grief. It puts a little more depth into the scene at Balin's tomb -- Legolas probably knew him, too."
Brigid shook her head. "Geeze, listen to you two. Do you actually care about all this stuff?"
Alex muttered something sheepishly, but Greg was not so easily daunted. "As a matter of fact, we do," he said. "And I have just five little words for you, young Brigid."
She raised her eyebrows. "And they are?"
"'She was a pirate's woman,'" Greg said, with immense smugness.
"Oh, shut up," Brigid snarled, and went back to what she was doing.

Date: 2006-05-03 04:34 pm (UTC)On the other hand, it is likely that Gloin had a few choice words go through his mind when he met the son of his imprisoning king... especially considering their respective roles in The Battle of Five Armies, though both sides DID learn their lessons from it. But would he be so dumb as to insult elves in Rivendell, which treated him and his companions quite well on their first trip through?

Date: 2006-05-03 04:55 pm (UTC)Of course, this is all speculation. We also know that since the beginning of the Second Age, Dwarves and Elves have not gotten along, so it could just be typical racial tension.

Date: 2006-05-03 08:20 pm (UTC)It reminds me of something funny on one of the documentaries in the extended Return of the King DVD set. While filming Sam's wedding for the end of the movie, Peter Jackson thought it might help to have some familiar faces for the actors to look at when they faced the camera, so he asked Vigo Mortensen and Billy Boyd to stand behind the camera and watch. During one take, Vigo decided to kiss Billy the same way that Sean Astin was kissing his character's wife.
