So much going on in the Emerald City. The wizard, as in all "OZ" versions is a Humbug, a sham, a terrible fake. This one is very cruel and responsible for the slaughter of maybe hundreds or thousands. The magic in this land has a very sadistic edge to it. Even "Good Witch Glenda" has evil in her purposes. Witches are burned. Townspeople, soldiers, and enchanted beings die as well. Lucas (the Scarecrow) turns against Dorothy after having a tryst with her. An enchanted girl is also a boy, but must remain a girl in order to lead a coven of witches. The Stone Giants come to life. The Munchkins are a primitive tall tribe yet very wise. All dogs are called "Toto". The "Tin-Man" accidentally shoots the Princess-Queen who turns out to be clockwork yet seems so real. She (it) wears ornate masks to hide the fact that "she" doesn't age, as her face is artificial as well. She is not scary or deformed. Next week is episode 10. Dorothy returns Lucas (the scarecrow) back to his "crucified perch" (Yes, there are nails through his flesh.) The whole place and series is rather gloomy. Maybe there will be no 2nd season? Dorothy's truck (not house) landed on the Wicked Witch. Maybe she will use her new-found magic powers and just fly home! Good!
