The Balrog wasn't able to kill Gandalf; Gandalf just ran out of juice and color...

PS - in the weapons and warfare movie tie-in book - it states that the sword Merry uses on the Witch King is Thedoen's sword he had as a child. Why PJ wanted to do this, he only knows........

So, in PJ land, Theoden's play sword is from the Barrows of the North? Could we complicate the story more?

The way I approach the film is that the stuff we do not see in the movies still actually happens. ok sometimes we have some conflicts, but to me, the movie hobbits DID meet Tom Bombadil, we just didn't see it. so merry gets his sword from the barrow-wights in my mind. (he was just given an extra one by Aragorn LOL) And therefore you could also say that movie Gandalf fought off the Nazgul on weathertop too.....

Think that you may have mentioned that once or twice before
. But, regarding Merry's sword, the hobbit says that it's dull, and surely the Barrow wights would have taken better care of such an important artifact.
