Saruman's demise was left a trifle ambiguous, although it was alluded to while the Ent's were "mopping up" after the flood. I do understand that Christopher Lee was none too happy about being edited out of the final cut of the film, but I understand Peter Jackson's reasoning. At a length of nearly 3 1/2 hours this subplot had effectively reached it's narrative conclusion in plot pacing terms. In the extended version I'm quite sure that this subplot will be fleshed out adequitly, but there will be an appropriately placed disc break that will act as an intermission for the extended hour's length, making it sore-butt-friendly. ;^)
