That is a good point about Saruman wanting to use Helm's Deep himself, after he had won the war.
Sometimes, fantasy can look a little lame, though, when we see how freakin' amazing and unstoppable! something different to swords and spears are. Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the old-style of battles. But today's audience can see that scene and ask Well, if one little magic explosion — a bomb, by another name — is so amazing and deadly in fantasy land, why didn't the bad guy just use a load of them?
