Gandalf vs. Saruman.... what should've happened
I think that there would have been an easy solution to the whole Saruman problem
all Gandalf had to do was give Saruman rigomortis! my friend Jon told me this after he saw it (he hasn't read the books) and when I saw the movie after that it was all I could do to keep from busting up laughing lol

rigomortis is when you can't move and if Gandalf gave Saruman rigomortis, then there would be no worries!!

If Gandalf is actually the ling incarnation of Manwe (one of the kookier LOTR theories unporven in canon, but a nice concept) he should have used his divine powers to blow saruman up.
In fact if Gandalf could go to toe to toe with a balrog-no reason why he couldn't fight Saruman (even if he isn't Manwe). it be taxing and all but he could try. Fortunetly the big M up in the mountain was being mighty generous.

There's one word you usually hear only at funerals and crime scenes. So I checked it out on the net:
rig·or mor·tis \rigr'mrds, -ts, -g'm()-, chiefly British rg()'m- or rg'm-\ n [Latin, stiffness of death] : rigidity of muscles after death depending in time of onset and duration upon variable factors in the body and in the environment Going back to Gandalf and Saruman in the movie, you do have a point there Hapira_Brandybuck. But come to think of it, if Gandalf were really powerful, perhaps as the Grey he had to wait for some consensus from the west before he was allowed as Gandalf the White. OR, it might be part of a strategy to lull Sauron into a false sense of security. Remember what he said about Pippin gazing later into the Palantir of Orthanc that although it was a dangerous moment for the campaign since the darklord learned that a hobbit was in Isengard, he was not able to get a clear picture of the situation. The Eye was more focused on Minas Tirith and Isengard and thus not so much within the borders of Mordor where 3 little figures were "sneakin'"
