I'm confused. I thought that Gandalf had indeed defeated the Balrog, except that the Balrog, in his final blow
up from the abyss, pulled Gandalf in after.
Here's something from the movie that blew me away - by the time Gandalf fell into the abyss, the whip had long since been released from his legs. Couldn't they have simply pulled him up at that point?
