"The things that are destroyed in Tolkien are lost forever. And you get this sense that you're sort of- there's a moment actually that is um yknow uh Frodo and the Fellowship are leaving Lothlorien and they see Galadriel and Celeborn sort of receding behind them and they get the sense that they're looking into this age that is sort of disappearing maybe never to be seen again in Middle Earth. And that's one reason why every moment is so precious in Tolkien is because it's something you're not going to get back. It's the impermanence, the fading feeling of losing something beautiful that is now gone forever. And when Celebrimbor dies, you get someone that has been there for hundreds of years learning the mysteries of creation and of beauty... whose work is gone. Eregion will be gone forever." - JD Payne

"Where it's like he's [Sauron] saying 'I'm gonna be a good guy!' and 'well I'm just gonna do this little thing!' and he's getting worse and worse and worse... and we're peeling back layers of how deep his narcissism and evil goes." - Patrick McKay
