Gandalf and Balrog in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers'


Durin III did something pretty significant in Season 1 by placing a leaf down a very long cave, and we were introduced to the Balrog. How much does that factor into Season 2?

ARTHUR: Well, we know it's there; we, the audience, know it's there. Whether he will appear in Season 2, I mean, what do you think?

I'm saying that there's a good possibility that the Balrog could make a presence.

ARTHUR: Possibly, possibly. I'm not allowed to say. I mean, I'd love to tell you. I'd love to bring you on to the set and go, "Listen, this is what happens, this happens here, and this happens here." I'd love to tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. I want people to discover it in that moment.

They keep trying to get me excited by showing off all the cool villains we'll see and it's working, because I otherwise would have been perfectly fine skipping this.

Awesome - now go watch the movies so you can compare (will this finally convince Edmond to watch the movies?)

I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountainside where he smote it in his ruin.

What will the Balrog do if it appears in season 2? Roar a bit again?

In the lore if happened in the final year of the reign of Durin VI, TA 1980. They found the Balrog while mining for Mithril. It attacked Khazad-Dum and killed Durin VI.

I thought Balrog wasn't ever going to act again after all the questionable stuff he said years ago but honestly it's been enough time and I believe in giving people second chances.
