I would agree, though, that IF they were to ever go this route (something that I highly doubt), they could do the TinMan and Scarecrow similar to how they did August in Season 2. Don't know about the Lion, though. The Lion should be a CGI lion (non anthropomorfic, but talks, if we are going with original book canon). Really that is how he should always have been portrayed, but obviously 1939 could only have live actors in costume, so they just did a guy in an anthropomofic lion suit. Now that it is 2015 and we can do a CGI lion (heck, Jumanji did a CGI lion in like 1995), that is how he should be portrayed. Of course, this being Once they could always do a twist on it, or simply not have the lion at all (although if they do the other two it would seem kind of wrong to not have the lion). At any rate, since Zelena is main cast now, I have high hopes we will see more Oz stuff this season.
