The show could pull a lot of awesome characters from French lit, (such if they ever wanted to touch stuff from Disney's Hunchback)

The only imperical problem being those guys wouldn't make as much sense being imported into the FTL, since in truth a lot of the major French lit stories are dependent on their historical placement. They'd need to put them in their own world like Frankenstein or Alice, or else there would need to be some serious editing to make them fit. Phantom and Hunchback could work in Land Without Color or Victorian England (well, Victorian France, which is near Victorian England, lol). Time wise VE would make more sense, but mood wise LWC would make more sense, for those two stories at least. We've already technically had French literature on the show though: one version of Cinderella is written by a French man, and Beauty and the Beast is written by a French woman.
