Is the little girl a witch?

[gkeith_1 · 10/10 · 23 January 2017]

Spoilers.

Is the little girl a witch? Did she turn her obnoxious "parents" to stone? Why is she so afraid? The small actress does a good job emoting the "shivers".

Dorothy and Lucas are getting closer. Maybe he should remove some of his facial hair, or all of it. Get a shave, Lucas.

Steampunk tin man. Jack has survived. He has a surgeon by name of Jane, who medievally anesthetizes him and proceeds to attack him with a ginormous saw.

Jack wakes up, becoming a 19th century metallic bionic man, complete with a clockwork "heart". "Where's the rest of me?" As a surgical patient, he encounters a lovely woman in a mask. She tries on different masks. Apparently, her face has been replaced. Ugh.

At any rate, Jane takes Jack to see the beautiful woman, who is a princess, I think. The princess remembers Jack, and wants him for herself. Ugh again.

Tip decides to be one of West's proteges. Is this the harbinger of bad/worse things to come?

Tip opted against going with Glinda, who seems sinister, now. This is not the Good Witch of the North in the MGM film, she of the pink bubble and magic wand.

The wizard still has the Midwestern twang. He should at least sound dignified, in my opinion.

So, Jack is the tin man? Where is the cowardly lion? I am still waiting.

Jack somehow survived his push from Tip and meets an extraordinary scientist who has give Jack a mechanical heart and replaced his broken parts with steel.

Tip thinking she has killed Jack is thinking of ending it all but a man convinces her not to and takes her to Glinda where she would be retrained in the nunnery to become the stewards of the Wizard. The wicked witch of west gives her a more exotic option leading to the best line of the series so far delivered by Tip; 'Are you telling me the only choice I have as a woman is nun or whore?'

Dorothy and Lucas find a mute girl called Sylvie in the woods who also seems to have magical powers and shells in her ears.

There were three plot lines in this episode keeping it busy, the visuals and art direction are great but it still feels too stilted and grungy although I liked how the Tin Man was realised.

Series is Stalling at this point

This episode REALLY dragged along.

Folks in my household beginning to lose interest and I am one of them.

What happened in this episode that could not have been included in another.

The pacing of the series is off at this point. Time to move it along.
