Did anyone else cath the two Wizard of Oz references in "Quite a Common Fairy"? At one point Neal/Bae is searching for something to get him to Neverland. He starts calling out things that would work, including Ruby Slippers. Then the most obvious of all, Tink uses Poppy to make Regina sleep.

Of course fanatics like us know that the writers have touched on their hopes to bring Oz to us...but it could it be this season? I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan (book and original movie only). And I was thinking about it. Present day Oz = munchkins, Glinda, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and the people of Emerald City, as main characters. I'd expect to only see the Wicked Witches in flashbacks, as their both dead, Professor Marvel/Wizard in flashbacks w/ he leaves the Emerald City and doesn't know how to use this balloon, so he couldn't return and Dorothy only in flashbacks b/c she went home. And as far as she was made to believe, she was merely dreaming. So personally, I hope they wouldn't really reference the newest Oz movie. And I do like the play Wicked, but I really hope they leave that alone, too. It could be a really amazing world they capture for us, either way, I suppose.
