I was just hoping to hear the 'speech long practiced' by Saruman as he tried to convince Gandalf to join up - hey, this is the EE version, and so we could have had some dialogue. Plus the thought about only one hand wearing the Ring would have been great. The audience could have been led to think that Saruman was being nice, then WHAM! Gandalf pokes a pin in the bubble and lets us see Saruman's real game. It could have been another demonstration of desire for the Ring making one loco.

With such a great voice, it was a shame to see what Christopher Lee's Saruman did say.
