If they do Rapunzel, it will not be Tangled, so Gothel and Flynn definitely won't be present. However, I feel SO sure about Whale being Oz. In "The Doctor," it seemed like they were definitely hinting at that. And Rumpelstiltskin calling him "the Wizard" totally was icing on the cake. I think the idea about somebody finding some gold and the dwarves mining it up and finding the yellow brick road is brilliant. Also, the Land w/o Color being the Frankenstein's original home and also them pointing to him as the wizard, it kind of just fits together like a puzzle piece. Maybe, he gets disowned and becomes a baloonist and then finds Oz and is taken to Storybrooke, etc... I think there's a lot they can do with that story and Whale with what they've already set up. PUT OZ IN OUaT!!!
