Talk:Gandalf

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Removed from Behind the scenes[[edit source]]

I've removed this from the Behind the Scenes section of the article.

Three possible explanations:

  • in The Hobbit wee see Bilbo Baggins, a calm, poised middle-class hobbit, so deep-rooted in the everyday life, but desiring adventure; Gandalf suddenly appears and brings him in a quest for a treasure and to battle a dragon. Compare this to the story of Rose and of Donna Noble: they were simply a shop assistant and a secretary.
  • Gandalf has many surnames: the Grey Wanderer, Stormcrow (by enemies: compare it with The Oncoming Storm).
  • The Doctor and Gandalf are both incredibly old by normal human standards.

As it's just basically speculation and you could probably draw similar connections between other powerful/mysterious figures in fiction. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:47, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
