Are you kidding me? :lol:I had an interesting thought the other day. In some ways, I feel like this is a similar story to the Wizard of Oz. Some of the characters I don't have just yet squared away, but others I do.
The Cowardly Lion: I don't remember his name, but the guy that grows stronger off of other people's fears.
He feels fear himself.
The Tin Man: Mr. Patrelli
He has a cold heart, and his powers seem to reflect that. He takes in people's powers, which are really a reflection of the self they want to be. He takes their emotional "hearts" so to speak.
The Scarecrow: Syler
"If I only had a brain" says it all.
Glenda the Good Witch: Mrs. Patrelli
She sounds harsh, but she is trying to show the world she's a good person.
The Wizard: Suresh
He's trying to prove himself to the world, while hiding behind his monsterous self.
Dorothy: Hiro
He started on a journey to see a better world, and instead he's realizing he probably should have just stayed home.
Who do you think is who?
I never caught that, but I definitely think you're on to something.
Pushing Daisies also has a Wizard of Oz thing going on. Quotes and references are thrown around all over the show. In fact, Kristin Chenoweth (who plays Olive in PD) was the original Glinda in Wicked.
It must be a Bryan Fuller thing. He's the creator of Pushing Daisies and was one of the creators and head writers for Heroes in Season 1.
