Lathriel has just left Hobbiton.
I like the Palanitir and I get very annoyed when people call it "that bowling ball"!
They obviously don't know the power of the Plantir and I think the movies should have explained them a bit more because some of the non-book readers got very confused on this point.
All Gandalf says in this scene is that "They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones." and that's it. The first time I saw the movie the line left me hanging because I was expecting some follo up information.
I had also imagined that Saruman would imprison Gandalf normally, minus the fight. They could have used that time wasted on the fight to explain some other things about ME. (just a suggestion)
