Robert Aramayo on Elrond’s relationship with Durin, with mortality, and with home and family:

[On neglecting his friendship with Durin:] “It’s a big slip up from Elrond,” Robert Aramayo tells Fandom as we talk about the Elf’s friendship with Durin, explored during the first two episodes of the series. “Because he, I think, prizes himself — or will come to pride himself — on his love for mortality. And so to make such an egregious, obvious error is a big failure on his part. But I think he’s been in Lindon enjoying his heraldry and writing [King] Gil-galad‘s speeches and serving him and it’s just slipped his mind.”

[…]

“What do you like about your best friend? It’s a difficult thing to explain,” says Aramayo. “There’s a connection between the two of them and then by extension to all the Dwarven world and Disa and the kids. I think he sees Durin’s heart. And I think he understands Durin’s complicated relationship with his dad [King Durin III]. I think that becomes quite important. It’s just a connection. And there’s something glorious about that.”

[…]

For Elrond, there’s also the warmth of Durin and Disa’s home that he’s drawn to.

“They have a real home,” says Aramayo. “And I think that means something to Elrond. When you walk into their house, it feels like a home. And it’s what these two bring. It just feels like you’re somewhere that is safe and [brings] all the things that are resonant with home, which is an important thing for Tolkien. And definitely a complicated thing for Elrond. So I think that’s another thing that endears him to this family.”

Losing it over this

@ people in the notes are saying he should have googled Prince Phillip before he got on stage … no, you don’t understand … Prince Phillip was announced dead during his set.

Which also means that for a lot of the audience they had just heard this news for the first time and their first reaction was to cheer lol.
