Author: Azalaisdep Title: His Greatest Mistake Characters: Gandalf Rating: G Source: LoTR Disclaimer: Middle-earth belongs to Tolkien and his heirs: I wander there for fun, not profit
I'm glad it evoked it for you! I certainly found myself returning to the PJ visuals - they're fairly faithful to the text at that point, I think (though the moth's a more specific detail than JRRT gives). I did wonder if PJ had exaggerated the height of Orthanc, but then Gandalf describes it during the Council of Elrond as having "thousands of steps", which really must make it at least a thousand feet high...
IIRC he admits in canon that at that point if it hadn't been for Radagast, and the fact that Saruman hadn't even tried to corrupt him, he would have been sunk. I'm glad you felt I got his voice.
