You’re right, they’ve definitely made Oz a big subject of foreshadowing throughout season one and two, so it must end up being important.
I think that whoever ends up being Oz will be very important… I feel like the new guy who was cast is a likely suspect. I posted this in another thread, but I’ll stick it here, as well:
All we know about it is that he’s “on the show for a spell” (producer tweet) and he plays a visitor to Storybrooke. I think he could definitely be some sort of incarnation of the Wizard of Oz. I mean the Wizard is supposed to be a regular guy (possibly from our world) who TRAVELS TO the Land of Oz… And becomes famous essentially because he can put on one heck of a good show. They say this guy is a stranger who comes to Storybrooke… So I could see him coming to Storybrooke and everyone makes a huge deal out of him, because WOW! No strangers EVER come to Storybrooke unless they’re important (read: Emma, Pinocchio). So he becomes the Wizard of Storybrooke… And perhaps him and a mystical hot air balloon or some other device are what Charming and the gang need to get back to realm of magic? Even if it brings them to Oz instead of the Enchanted Forest it’d be a step in the right direction.
As long as they went a Len Cariou direction with Todd as opposed to Johnny Depp, I’d love to see Sweeney.
I’d really love for him to be the White Rabbit, but I think Peter Pan is more likely. He’s also gotta be Henry’s father, I think if he’s not that’ll be the biggest surprise of the show so far.
Also I feel like I’m the only one who looks at/hears this guy and thinks “…hrm.” d: Gimme more yummy August any day.

In Season one when Rumple says “perception is everything, my dear,” I most definitely wanted him to burst out into this song Billy Flynn style 🙂Oh god. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.
SOMEONE MAKE A FAN VIDEO, PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU.
The thing about Snow and Charming communicating through worlds? That doesn’t sound at ALL like it hints at Snow and Emma finding a way back to Storybrooke. COMMUNICATING =/= finding a portal and getting back. I think it sounds more likely that they find a way to connect the two worlds just enough to tell each other things… But perhaps the sacrifice has something to do with making the fabric between two worlds weaker, and making it easier for Cora to get through.
I think the Oz nods were more to make an allusion to Oz throughout the episode. The whole thing was Regina trying to get back the thing she loves, making her a stand-in Dorothy. And she goes along with the ‘scarecrow’ (The man who lost his mind: Jefferson), the ‘cowardly lion’ (The man who lacked courage: Rumpel) and the ‘tinman’ (The man in search of a heart, Victor) but there was no wizard to be found, as much as she willed it, and instead the events released the evil that she “had inside her all along”. So it was a misdirect, it was a possible foreshadowing for future uses of Oz, but it was also an episode-sized allusion to a favourite classic.

Tinkerbell watches Emma and her crowd walk back to the portal. When they disappear, she turns her head to look to the top of a tree. A moment of tension. We only see the tree. But then, slowly… a teen Baelfire shows up and exchange a very meaningful look with the fairy.
Closing song plays. And then it all goes dark.
SwanFire shippers: 😮
I would love this, js. IT WOULD BE PERFECT.
And yet they give Whale more and more screentime through season one and finally with lots of definitive moments in season 2, tell us these tantalizing things about episode 5 that pertain to WHALE and then give us another Regina episode… If they weren’t going to make it Whale-centric, they shouldn’t have advertised it as this big Whale-a-palooza. Instead we get “Let’s use Whale as a tool to blame other people for everything wrong Regina did. Cause you know, she’s not a bad person, really. Really. Rape isn’t a big deal. Neither is murder.”
