Thanks Birdland, it's nice to know I'm not the only who was wondering where the follow-through was on that scene. The idea of Saruman being able to send an out-of-body apparition to spy is one I like, but I can't help thinking he would have been more prepared for the Ent attack if he was able to do that; surely after Rohirrim slaughtered his Orc-band he would have been trying to find out as much as he could about what was happening in and around Fangorn, and realized that the Ents were restless, and also later that Theoden and company were coming. (After his staff is broken, of course, all bets are off).

Sigh. Back to tying up the loose ends on one of my own stories.
