    Her line deliveries felt, for the lack of a better word, monotone?

    Yup. Toto had more personality than Dorothy did.

    Is anyone else bothered by Fictional Kansas? How many fictional lands are there? When it was lands like Wonderland, Oz, and Neverland, it made a lot of sense (those are actual fictional worlds) but Kansas, London–Victorian and Jazz Age–and it’s getting extremely silly.

    To clarify in case anyone wasn’t sure

    @WilliamShatner In OUAT, Dorothy exists in a "fictional Kansas" realm, like we've seen w/other stories. Need slippers to get there and back

    Toto was the best thing about Zelena & Dorothy’s encounter.

    I’m bothered as well. Adding more pointless worlds ruin the worldbuilding. I never understand why some characters need to have a world of their own.

    Yes, and not to mention that Rumple was in search of a certain pair of slippers that coule transport him to A Land Without Magic. Back in “The Doctor”, Rumple hired Jefferson to travel to Oz to get him the slippers; however, the slippers had vanished before Jefferson could acquire them from Zelena on Rumple’s behalf. The implicaiton is that Dorothy had used the slippers to return home to REAL Kansas.

    I think the problem was not so much the actress but the plot and the script.  The 2 times we’ve seen Dorothy she’s been just a plot device, not a stand-alone character.  The same with Glinda, she was such a promising character and they also reduced her to a plot device.  I think the fact that Zelena end up using Rumple’s brain for the time travel spell on season 3 means that either Dorothy (will in a future episode) rescue Scarecrow’s brain or somehow the brain doesn’t work, which means we’ll Dorothy again… which leads me to think the reason why Zelena went to the Enchanted Forest for Regina was because Dorothy was successful at banish her out of Oz… we’ll see.

    Don’t forget we had the Darlings as well who were from “real” London. It would’ve been easier just to make everything a fictional world.

    Does anyone think that “the love of the people” is going to be key in taking down Hades? It’s one of those catchphrases the show couldn’t stop saying; felt like the writers want it to get stuck in our heads for a upcoming foreshadow-y reason.

    I think it plays into the (Machiavellian?) saying “Is it better to be loved or feared?”

    IMO, from a leadership point of view it’s better to be loved. If the people love you, they’ll fight and die for you. If they fear you, they will turn on you as soon as a better offer comes along.
