You'll never know the real story

Lots to do, but quick rant.

ABC is planning to do a Fables pilot. Now, you might say "That's great news, Sheree! You adore that series!" But no, it is not great news. I might be a bit more excited if say Showtime or HBO -neither of which I even get- were doing it. They might spend the money to do it justice and have the guts to not censor it

the fear of censoring gets worse once you remember that ABC is owned by Disney. I have the same fears that you do about this. Fables is one of the best comic series to have come out in a long time. One the other hand though, Pilots don't always equal TV show. If a pilot ranks poorly with a test audience it will never see air time. But then again, the test audience probably will be a group of people who have never read the comics.

Yes, my sentiments exactly. ABC is very very likely to Disneyfy it, which is just... painful. Might be all for nothing and it could never see the light of day, but... augh. Even mentioning it was kinda cruel of them. Fables is definitely one of the best, and it would be so sweet to see it done justice. :P

This Fables of which you speak sounds delightful. I must investigate...

It is an awesome comic series, I highly recommend starting from the first book then catching up through to where the issues are coming out now. We're waiting on book 11 now, I believe. It's really bizarre and fascinating, I think you'd really like it.
