No I don't think so.

No I don't think so.

In the scene before sarumon has the monologue where he discusses his conversation with Gandolf and its obviously implied that something terrible happened in that mine.

I dont know what else it could be besides that

The mine was conquered and reconquered several times IIRC. I don't believe they're referring specifically to Balin's expedition.

yeah, first they woke up the balrog, not knowing what they woke, many died, the rest fled
orcs came to live there over time, then the great orc dwarf war killed off most orcs in the region, eventually Balin led his expedition, which were in time wiped out without getting word out, then some time later the Fellowship entered

To me Gandalf pretty much knew they were all going to be dead, but was not 100% certain so that's why he didn't say anything to Gimli. He does say "It is as I've feared" when he sees Balin's tomb.

In the books, Gandalf planned on entering Moria all along, as he had passed through before in the past, and figured Balin and co. might still be there. He didn't want to go south because of Sauruman, and didn't want to take the mountain passes due to the season. Aragorn was against Moria due to his own foresight. The movies just streamlined this

Most of the stuff in the extended versions was clearly cut for valid reasons. They feel needlessly bloated with random fluff that isn't relevan t, is just there to get a smile or a hard dick from someone who read the books, or is kind of bad narratively or clearly unfinished in terms of effects.

Fellowship is the only one that largely gets away with it, IMO.
