Well, Gandalf, it's nice to see you again, but... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think I preferred Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White. It would have been kind of sad, but what I think is sadder is the way Gandalf changed. After he "died", or whatever happened he loses all that attract you to Gandalf in the first place. Mostly his mysteriousness. When he is Gandalf the White, he's so up front and open (or more so than Gandalf the Grey), but I'd almost prefer him to have died, because I think it would have forced Aragorn and others to learn to fend for themselves more, and to be stronger leaders, then they become when he comes back as Gandalf the White. (sorry I kept switching my train of thought)
