Oh, please, not Mary Poppins. Not unless they do it right—and by right I mean "not a Mary Sue like in the movie." I love Julie Andrews to death, but her Mary was—just wrong.

Read the books or see the musical, which is much more faithful to the books than the movie. Mary is ''terrifying. She's a tyrant.'' Her style of childcare is much more along the lines of Regina's than of, say, Snow and Charming's. She'll kick your ass and make you a better person, but heaven help you if you make her angry. Which is easy to do, as she's vain and snobby and temperamental.

(If they did do Mary Poppins, I want them to cast Madeline Trumble. I don't care how young she is, she's the best Mary Poppins ever to Mary. /wishful thinking)

I'd love to see more non-Western tales get incorporated into the show.
