Is there a thread where we can discuss this further?

On the topic of Elrond, the twinkly stars around his head in the Rankin-Bass cartoon were quite memorable.

Hugo Weaving's Elrond does not exactly come across as "as kind as summer," but not only was he driving the plot with urgency, Gandalf was being portrayed as the more compassionate of the two: "It is a burden he should never have been asked to bear. We can ask no more of Frodo," versus "Our list of allies grows thin," etc.
