WEhat does that say about me that I didn’t think of that first? 
I thought about this but maybe he doesn’t have wizardy powers anymore?
So what’s up with magic here? Saruman and Gandalf can throw each other around like ragdolls, but their magic is useless against normal attackers? Even a walker tree shouldn’t be immune to a judicious use of mystical power.
And yet… nothing…?
And Sam with the rousing speech
:’( so sad.
Yeah, what ATGreat said.
There’s some good in this world, and its worth fighting for
Maybe he didn’t pay his wizard union dues and can’t cast until he does?
More BSG parallels brought to you by Sam.
I love Merry and Pippin
They got half their kills in the first 10 min of the battle? 43 seems very low. 
They are proof on how far no intelligence can take you. 
Pure dumb luck wins out over skill every time
Maybe Saruman had not recovered from being removed from Theoden by Gandalf? That had to sap some of his magical strength. I don’t remember what it said in the book.
One more time becauwse it bares repeating,
The music is terrific.
didn’t Gandalf break Saruman’s staff at that point? and now that Gandalf is the White, isn’t Saruman out? he still has his voice powers but I don’t think they will work on the ents.
It cannot be overstated, so I’ll say it again as well,
one of the best soundtracks ever.
So as an unneeded reminder, Next Saturday, Return of the King Extended edition Official start time 8PM EST and the tradition start time of :15 after the hour.
See you all next week.
this was fun. =)
The scene did not show Saruman’s staff when he was thrown out of Theoden and across the floor. I just don’t remember what happened in the book. Gonna have to get that out and check tomorrow.
