I’m thinking that the new type of storytelling is putting the fairy tale in our time. WWW has made her yellow brick road, and it leads to storybrooke. OZ is storybrooke.
I also think that whoever is on that stretcher, and whatever happened to them is what led Hook to search for Emma and Henry.
Emma is Dorothy. Storybrooke is OZ. WWW is wreaking havoc on Storybrooke and nothing is as it should be.
( I’m bored, and just making up stuff to pass the time.)
