Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Wizard's advocate: those don't say Gandalf is late. It says the hour is late, or he's too late to do something. Maybe that was his intent to be too late to take that action, but he's still in time to do something else.
So Gandalf is in fact chronically time-challenged.
