A little repeating a successful concept. With new ideas, I hope. That's exactly why I had the idea to open this discussion. The creators said, that the Oz arc, would be closer to the Season 1 format. So, yes.... the parallels were done on purpose. New York City Serenade reminded me, so much, of the Pilot. It was great to see all those nods, to the first season.

S3.b Regina and Robin Hood = S1 Snow White and Prince Charming

S3.b Hook = S1 Henry

S3.b Henry = S1 Emma

S3.b Wicked Witch = S1 Evil Queen
