I recognize the changes to the lore but am trying to judge them on how they contribute to the story being told by the writers.


I doubt you are implying anything the writers do is therefor justified. There are probably unwarranted extremes such as transforming Galadriel into a murderous ally of Sauron in one of those "subvert expectations" deconstructive twists that writers seem to love these days. So I suspect even you'd have limits, as you express about Saruman. I think you can rest easy there unless the show runners claim it is "impossible" is an absolute lie. Fan tolerance about treating writers' intent as gospel varies.

We are allowed to vehemently dislike the show and express even outrage at poor adaptations, within the TOS limits. Each to their own opinion, right? Offering help to come around to understand opinion of those who like the show, and therefor quell dissent, is somewhat the same albeit more gentle and polite.
