I was just in a thread that brought up the possibily of knocking Saruman off in TTT instead of Rotk. At first this seems like a terrible deviation from the books. But since I've heard that they are apparently cutting out the Scouring of the Shire, it kind of makes sense to kill him in TTT, since there is nothing left for him to do in RotK, and if they left him alive he'd just be in the way. For more on that, look <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=000159" TARGET=_blank>here.</A><P>So, imagine that you have decided to let the Scouring go (for whatever reason) and have to come up with a new death for Saruman. How and where would you do it? Or, how do you predict that the movie makers are going to do it?<P>Please don't use this as an occasion to bash Peter Jackson. This is just for if you have any ideas for what to do (or what was done) with Saruman. If you would like to bash PJ, post it in the above mentioned thread.
