I think Zava should be the Wizard. So then Rebecca can be the Good Witch, and maybe Keeley, Sassy and Shanda could be the flying monkeys? No, clearly the trio of fans have to be the flying monkeys. Baum needed to write more strong female characters.

Whether we call Keeley the Good Witch or a flying monkey, her relationship with the Scarecrow will need to be handled tastefully.

Toto, of course, is Earl II with his adorable little helmet.

OK, I’ve watched as many clickbait YouTube videos as I can stand, and it appears that basically all the major roles will be coming back. Ted will again be coaching Richmond, _and_ a women’s team will be involved somehow. So either he will be coaching AFC Richmond’s new women’s team (yes, this is a thing) or (IMO more likely) the women’s team will be a whole new group of supporting characters.

Also, as would be expected, a major subplot will revolve around the fact that Richmond will participate in the Champions League next year, having finished second in the Premier League last season. (This is a highly prestigious tournament between top European teams, which they will play in, in addition to the regular Premier League season)

What, are we talking about season 6 of _Fargo_ here?
