About the Balrog thing, I think Gandalf knew he would have to face it sooner or later. Debating with Aragorn (book) was a way of showing us that part of Gandalf did not want to deal with it. Who would? It's all part of the War of the Ring, and didn't it say somewhere that the War was Gandalf's greatest challenge? <P>Did that make any sense?<p>[ October 25, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]
