I haven't seen the entire thing yet (we taped it), but so far, I'm loving the characterizations and the special effects. However, I wish people would stop comparing it to the "real" Wizard of Oz. Just enjoy it for what it is -- fun science fiction.
Don't they get points for imagination? I especially like the "origin" of the flying monkeys.
Did anyone notice the address of DG's farm? Number 39. The original WOO was released in 1939.
The tornado in this version gave me nightmares. >grin< I remember when I was a kid watching WOO, I used to wake up in the middle of the night having nightmares about the tornado and the wicked witch. Actually, the Munchkins kind of creeped me out too, but I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm anti-little people.
Allan Cumming is ALWAYS terrific. I do hope that in the next two episodes they give Richard Dreyfuss more to do.
