Many viewers have noticed the numerous and varied references to Frank L. Baum's classic childrens book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" throughout Season 1.

What do you think are the significances of the Oz fable to this story in terms of story development, character development, and other deeper concepts of the show?

And if you have concrete examples, be sure to place them in the Wizard of Oz-ology reference list.

Enjoy!

I was re-watching the "Dungeons and Dragons" episode. (I just picked up the series during rerun week) and I noticed the following picture.

http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/photo/1285569/Lion+Logo

I remembered stumbling upon the page about Oz connections to Terminator:SCC. I think maybe this might be another, weak maybe, connection. The logo features a Lion with the head of a Terminator in its mouth. As mentioned John can be seen as the Lion in Oz, needs to find courage. Therefore the logo may be suggesting John found of courage and his fight against the machines. That may not be enough to convince many, including myself, that there is an Oz link but then I got thinking. Why did they use a Lion? If you want a large cat why not go with the standard tiger? Or another animal? A smashed calculator? It may just be wishful thinking and over analysis of a simple logo and quiet possible there is no link to Oz.
