It ain’t your mom and dad’s “The Wizard of Oz”, that’s for sure. It’s the Sci Fi Channel’s version of “Oz”, an original mini-series called “Tin Man”, starring Kathleen Robertson and Zooey Deschanel. Here’s the plot: The miniseries centers on DG (Deschanel), a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm filled with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged monkey-bats and attempts to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by “Glitch,” an odd man missing half his brain; “Raw,” a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage; and “Cain,” a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as a “Tin Man”), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG’s destiny leads her to a showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia (Robertson), whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined.”
