		As he fights the Balrog in the depths, he says that 'ever I hewed him', which means he must have had the sword with him.
		Gandalf must have kept it as he climbed the Endless Stair, and perhaps used it in the Battle of the Peak to finally destroy Durin's Bane.
		What isn't clear, though is how it survived Gandalf's destruction and re-embodiment - he says explicitly 'naked I was sent back'.

		Perhaps the name of the module was the "Endless Staircase", and I believe it was for the original high level adaptations of the basic Dungeons and Dragons game.
		I have a poor recollection for the details but I swear that in a Dragon magazine from a couple years ago there was a tower like that detailed in one of Ed's articles about interesting locales.
		The Name of the particular book is "The Endless Stair", CM8.

	Parah : Upsaid journal
		I liked the opening -- the only thing I can think of, on first viewing, that was an appropriate adaptation of the storyline to the cinematic medium.
		I wish they had filmed, not only Gandalf's fall with the Balrog and the fight on the mountaintop, but the climb up the endless stair with Gandalf clinging to the heels of the wet, slimy shadow who then bursts into flame again on the mountaintop.
		Even Isaac picked out the "Toss me" and Legolas on the shield sliding down the stairs as inapproriate for the rest of the movie.

		Ever up now we went, until we came to the Endless Stair.
		From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak it climbed, ascending in unbroken spiral in many thousand steps, until it issued at last in Durin's Tower carved in the living rock of Zirakzigil, the pinnacle of the Silvertine.

		First, was Gandalf's explanation of his battle with the Balrog missed the main details that establish who Gandalf is. Gandalf describes the fall of he and the Balrog down and down the endless well that has no bottom.
		Eventually they reach the endless stair and Gandalf chases the Balrog all the way to the top of the mountain.
		The movie skips entirely the intermediate period between the fall into the endless well and the moment in which they re-emerge at the top of the mountain.

		This is only a small portion of the seething mass, a landing on an endless stair.

		The Mines of Moria were my favorite part in FOTR, so more of that is great with me. And Richard Bond's comment about lots of concept arft for the slimy Balrog is encouraging for the appearance of the Endless Stair.
		I never said it was gonna be in the EE, but I read in The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy a quote from Alan Lee saying what I just said about the endless stair.
		Indeed more than anything else id like to see an extended Gandalf/ Balrog battle although I still have my doubts that they would cut out something so FX intensive.

	The Two Towers: A Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I thought that the pan across the Misty Mountains that then zoomed in to Gandalf's Balrog battle seems to have worked well as a beginning for the movie, as did the dream-cut to Frodo and Sam.
		Jumping ahead momentarily, it would have been nice to see the chase up the Endless Stair (though Jackson's Balrog probably wouldn't fit!), but the battle on the peak worked reasonably well and I was happy with the presentation of Gandalf's death and return.
		[It's neat to know from the DVD extras that they originally wanted to include the "thing of slime" Balrog and the Endless Stair, and it's a shame that it was budget pressure that led to it being cut.

		Then maybe have Gandalf hide in a crevice on the side hoping to fool the Balrog and make it suspenseful as he passes but then he sniffs him out and they engage in a battle up the stairs until they finally show the scene in the movie where he smotes out the Balrog's flame.
		I agree completely with Fillow, I was seriously looking forward to seeing the ENDLESS STAIR.
		There is a better teaser leading up to Gollum, the audience really gets full of effect of the hobbits being followed, I believe there was a scene where we see Gollum's point of view watching them as rome around emyn muil.
