But it is not based on fairy tales and, even though they're probably overdone, I'm a sucker for fairy tale adaptations. I think fairy tales are part of our cultural mythology in a way that A Song of Ice and Fire is not. Questioning them, subverting them, shining a new light on them is useful and, to me, interesting and fun. What I really wish is that they had made Fables a TV show. Apparently it was on the table but then shelved once OUAT came on. Such a waste . . .
