Sigh... why would they make 3 seasons of a book that one reads in a few
days? It will only be like the Hobbit a long and tedious wait between
actual scenes from the book. =(

I was mostly irate at the movie version of Lord of the Rings since one
of the scenes they filmed but left on the cutting room floor was the
death of Saruman (who a lot of people considered a rip-off of the
death of Mussolini) after the fall of the Dark Tower.

he died back in the shire, when Wormtongue cut his throat after Frodo
had said they could leave
Mussalini was captured and shot by partisans

so it doesn't seem like a close match

No question it was my favorite LoTR scene though the "Speak Friend and
Enter" scene was the funniest from the books.

I wasn't aware that Saruman died by landing on the Wheel of Fortune at
Isengard.

In the version of /LOTR/ that /I/ read, he dies much later in the
Shire.

Now /that/ entire sequence would have been worth seeing!
