Just to concur, the Scouring is definitely out. If you listen to PJ's commentary on the special edition, he explains this during the 'Mirror of Galadriel' scene, where Frodo sees "what may come to pass if you don't destroy the ring".<BR>According to the rumour mill, Saruman is killed there and then at Isengard by Wormtongue, thus destroying all hope of a scouring scene.<BR>I loved the chapter in the book, however I always found it ridiculous that Gandalf let him wander free after the Ents released him.<BR>Why wasn't he imprisoned or killed, after all, Gandalf knew he had allies in the vicinity of the Shire and Bree, and his foresight should have told him he would seek revenge somehow.<BR>I hope PJ includes the Pukel men and the banter between Shagrat and Gorbag.
