But they look enough alike one might still think Tempe even if it's the other one.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There's a Wicked Witch of the East and Wicked Witch of the West parallel in there.

Matthew Gilbert at the Boston Globe really doesn't like "Tin Man"
That review was REALLY weird. He didn't actually talk about anything but how the new one aped the movie (in the absolue snarkiest terms - as if doing any version of the WoO was heresy) until the last paragraph, where he didn't provide a single example towards the charges he was leveling. It made me think unfortunate thoughts about a certain stereotype who is way WAY too overprotective of Judy Garland and her legacy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought the review was really funny. t shrug
I think that when you change things like calling the new place "the O.Z.", you're pretty much asking for people to focus on the "clever" ways in which the remake apes the original.

I'm watching DW and I forgot about the pissing contest the Daleks and the Cyberman get into.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...I quite like the idea of Tin Man myself. I mean, I'm rather a sucker for retellings/reimaginings/revisions of folk tales and fairytales, however well or badly executed they may be, and althought Baum's books aren't technically that - well, in effect they are. Um. Plus - Alan Cumming! Always delightful.
I hope it doesn't suck beyond the telling of it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The one review I read said that "Tin Man" was inappropriately named. That is, the "tin man" isn't even close to being a major character in this mini-series and the reviewer couldn't quite understand why this was named such.

Our wings are not tired.
lalala I'm not reading the reviews because I would like to enjoy it. If it can not suck enough that I can mock it while still having fun watching, that would be enough.

but, but! I wants lots of Neal McDonough!

I watched one of the behind-the-scenes on SciFi Pulse and they were saying that the essence of the story could be found in the Tin Man, and they didn't elaborate, but I took that to mean that "heart" was the main theme.
