老潘：认为《天龙八部》是成人版的金庸武侠，人物关系复杂，探讨人性、命运等深刻问题，与《射雕英雄传》的儿童版形成对比。对小说中佛学元素的运用和人物的悲剧命运进行探讨，并与刘晓蕾就《天龙八部》是否为金庸最佳小说展开辩论。
刘晓蕾：从佛学角度解读《天龙八部》，认为小说中浓厚的佛学意味体现了金庸对人生苦难的深刻理解。分析了小说中“天龙八部”的含义，以及六道轮回、涅槃等佛学概念在小说中的体现。对小说中主要人物（乔峰、段誉、虚竹）的性格特点、命运走向以及他们与佛学思想的关联进行深入分析，认为他们都体现了佛教的思想和宿命论。并对小说中其他人物的命运和性格进行分析，指出小说中几乎没有真正快乐的人，印证了“有情皆孽，无人不冤”的观点。
刘晓蕾：从人物塑造的角度分析了《天龙八部》中主要人物的性格特点和命运，认为乔峰的悲剧命运类似于古希腊悲剧《俄狄浦斯王》，体现了宿命论和英雄的悲壮。对小说结构的松散性进行探讨，认为这可能是小说的特点而非缺点，并与老潘就小说结构和文学价值进行辩论。
