Folwren: I didn't read it all of the way through. He offers the quotes and summarizes some of the ongoing debate. I'm not sure I agree with anyone's opinion. This is just something that Tolkien needed to be asked for a clarification. Perhaps there's an unpublished letter out there somewhere which, when brought to light, will settle the matter once and for all. For those who care.

I like to think of the Balrog as a mighty, flaming penguin.

It has wings, yes. But cannot fly. ^_^

Looks to me like the Barrow-Wight's latest attempt to boost forum traffic.

Resolution?

You know, this balrog / wings question would be a lot easier to resolve over on the Movie folder?

Wow. Saw the title and was expecting to see some like a lol-Maia picture here. Somewhat disappointed that no one's gotten on that yet...
