I’m much more fond of the Dorothy theory that Oz was not a good place to her and in order to ensure no one went there again or that no one from OZ could come here, she formed the Home Office (maybe with the Wizard) to eradicate magic.
But back to the Darlings…while I do think flying to NL is going to be the central way to get there, it doesn’t mean it’s the only way. They’ve hinted at “Neverland-adjacent” which is frustratingly opaque and could indicate that there are other ways to reach NL besides flying. And like I said, once George died, maybe the Home Office’s mission changed to eradicating magic (let’s go nuts and combine the two: maybe Dorothy took over the Home Office because she had been recruited by them when she got back from Oz and then she, years later, recruited GOAT). When companies change hands often times the mission and outlook of that company changes depending on who is now in charge.
And I do think it’s worth mentioning that the Home Office has probably been around for a long time, as they seem to have unparalleled resources at their disposal.
Even though it’s just wild speculation at this point, I’m totally down with something like this happening. K&H said they’re trying to take us in a direction we haven’t seen before with this Home Office stuff, and that would be something original. FWIW, concerning the mashing up of the Darlings and Dorothy/Wizard of Oz, there’s a hot air balloon hanging over one of the beds in that room with the pics of Bae, Wendy, and her mother. Might mean nothing. Might mean something.
I’m also down with Wendy still being alive in NL.
And I’m also down with Pan being mashed up with the Pied Piper.
Speculating is fun. 😉
