IMO...maybe she would like a convertible, but in reality she'd own an older subcompact because of her potentially limited budget.

This is a reminder that this is a discussion thread, not a role-play thread. And I fail to see the point of posting a large, garish test pattern pic. :frankiemad:

I could see Frankie getting a VW beetle, myself. ;) Anyway, I was feeling pretty miserable this morning. I just felt terrible and had to lay myself down on the couch and just started flicking through the channels. Before long I came across Foster's, "Bus the two of us", to be precise. What happened next was pure serendipity.
I happened to chance onto an episode that Frankie was lovingly nursing others to health. I swear it was like she was right there offering me soup and passing me smiles to cheer me up. When the show was over I felt loads better. I guess a dose of Foster's and a teaspoon of Frankie were just what the doctor ordered because it really did me a world of good.:D

I thought I would bump this up again. I have been watching past episodes to gear myself up for the final push. I have been waiting with baited breath since August, for the follow-up of "Bloo Superdude." I heard Frankie is going to be in a bad costume, and an attitude to boot. While I like the "sweet" Frankie, I like to see the "sassy" Frankie. A Frankie with a ''tude." When I see our beloved redhead, I too feel so much better.:frankiesmile:

You heard correctly. She'll be cast in the role of a supervillain in a mostly black costume. The preview we saw at the Con was pretty funny. I have no idea what the airdate is but it's probably in December. :frankiesmile:

Can Frankie really play a villian? She may be frazzled (from that darn rabbit), but her heart is huge. Additionally, in order to be a good villian, you have to have social graces. Frankie is a social mongoloid (no offense dear); just refer to her date with Dylan on FMD. She is just too darned sweet!:frankiesmile:

I can see her being a villain from Bloo's perspective, since she's usually the one keeping him from the hi jinks he'd like to pull. And since this new episode is going to be another about "Bloo the Superdude", my guess is the story is again told from Bloo's perspective. :bloosmirk:

The clip we saw at the Con was from Bloo's perspective. In his mind, he's the Bloo Superdude, who Frankie has captured and is torturing; in reality, he's sick in bed and she's trying to take care of him. Ingrate. :frankiemad: 8D

As I've said, the clip was hilarious, and the outfit Bloo imagines Frankie wearing is a far cry from the "Frankie fairy" outfit from the previous Bloo Superdude episode, or any other outfit she's ever worn. Looks like it'll be a fun episode. Don't ask me about the airdate, though, as I don't know. Sometime in December, I presume. :frankiesmile:

I'm just waiting for the outfit! Seriously, I just wanna see how she looks! :frankiesmile: 8D

You and me both! I wonder if it is one of those "skin tight" outfits like on the Incredibles.:D:frankiesmile:

A bit risky there, but I'm willing to say I hope so! :bloogrin:

There's more to Frankie than what she's wearing, dudes. ;)

I did check YouTube to see if anyone had taped the clip and posted it but apparently Con security was very good this year. We'll see the episode soon enough.

If it is being told from Bloo's perspective, it safe to say Bloo is a pervert!8D

Drat! I was going to check YouTube next1::)

I doubt he thinks that way. In any case this is starting to sound like a conversation better suited to the Appreciation thread, so let's watch ourselves, m'kay? ;)

I know! :frankiesmile: 8D

I'm having a tough time picturing Frankie with an evil laugh, even in her villainous role in the upcoming Bloo Superdude episode.

I'm getting tired of the "I can't wait to see Frankie's hot new outfit" and "Frankie could never ever have a single bad thought in her angelic head" posts. They need to go in the appreciation thread, period. :wiltyeahright:

And seriously, like Cass said, Frankie's role as a villain in this ep is all in Bloo's (quite possibly feverish) head. If you fanboys don't want to take her villainous behavior in the story as canon, guess what - unless she does it outside Bloo's imagination you won't have to. So chill. (Of course, the outfit's not really canon either in that case.)

Haha, I rather didn't like the outfit myself. 8D

It was very skimpy. And Craig said he didn't like porn of his characters being drawn. :jk:

Besides, the outfit at the very end of the episode was much better.

Yes, I agree. :P

just about everyone gets a turn as a villain in this show (still waiting on Wilt and Ed, though). It's okay:bloogrin:

Sorry to go off topic again, but Wilt already did do the villain thing in "Make Believe it or Not."

Thanks. And I guess you can count Ed during the flea business.

Spoiler for the new Bloo Superdude ep that hasn't aired yet:

Anyway, back on topic;
I wonder what her major was in college. She's very smart, so maybe she went for Political Science or something.

She might have something to do with Psychology, considering she understands friends on more than just a basic level.
But then again, maybe that's just the natural caretaker in her speaking. ::)

I asked Craig about that at the Con this past July:

I found out a few other things as well but that's another story. Psychology's not a bad fit for her personality but again, we'll probably never know for certain. :frankiesmile:

I'd say psychology would definitely be the best fit for her, it makes a lot of sense in episodes like Destination Imagination, where she helps out multiple friends by realizing what their needs are.

Is it just me that's noticed this, but Frankie comes across as a bit of a cartoon, sci-fi fan? In "Nightmare on Wilson Way" we see her dressed as Tank Girl (drawn by Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz fame),

Barbarella in "The Bloo Superdude and The Great Creator of Everything's Awesome Ceremony of Fun That He's Not Invited to", there are probably more references that I haven't picked up on, but those are a few.

This long overdue post is for those of you who haven't been reading the overblown epic I've been writing in the Sims thread. :bloocross:

As I mentioned earlier, while at the 2008 Con I asked Craig a few questions about Frankie. I haven't told y'all everything he told me, however, and I'm sorry about that. I've always had a habit of witholding info, and for personal reasons I wanted to reveal it in the Sims thread. The story there is mine but it's based in part on what Craig told me. But since not all of you follow that thread I'm posting the facts here as well.

I had asked Craig about some things that were little more significant than Frankie's college major; one such thing was the lingering question about why Frankie didn't have an Imaginary Friend of her own. There were a lot of theories about that; mine had always been that her parents, for whatever reason, wouldn't allow her to have one. As it turns out, I was partially right; Frankie did indeed want her own IF but her parents didn't want her to have one. She created one anyway.

Yes, Frankie does have an Imaginary Friend of her own. I'll let you imagine how surprised I was to hear that. As Craig tells it, Frankie's parents were not happy with Madame Foster's work and what she was doing with the House; he left me with the impression that they didn't consider it socially acceptable. Being a child, Frankie didn't care about such things so she created an IF anyway, a very small one ("Not Peas!" Craig added, no doubt seeing an "Oh, no" look forming on my face), which she could hide easily. And sadly, she lost it. Lost IFs go to Foster's, she reasoned, so Frankie started hanging around the House and, eventually, ended up working there. Not as altruistic a reason as doing the job out of the goodness of her heart but it makes sense, and it speaks volumes about her dedication to her Imaginary Friend.

There were some other details too, but that's the real story, from Craig himself. The truth is, Frankie is not at the House because of any of the usual reasons the fans dream up. She has no romantic interests in any of the other characters, nor they in her, she isn't working to pay off college debts, she isn't doing community service, and she isn't an Imaginary Friend herself. Nor is she there because she loves the work, although she does love her job. No, in the end, Frankie is at Foster's because she is hoping that, someday, her little lost Imaginary Friend will find her way home. :frankiesmile:

Again, sorry I didn't post this back in August of 2008. As I said, I had my reasons.

My thanks to Craig for clearing all that up for me once and for all. :frankiesmile:

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fan-fiction writers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. :bloogrin:

That's an interesting bit of information, I wonder if Frankie's back story will come into play during one of the last couple of episodes or it's just something Craig had come up with to give Frankie's character a little more color but for whatever reason, was never intended be used? (That happens a lot in the creative process.)

I asked about that; he told me that the subject of Frankie's Imaginary Friend won't be covered in the remaining episodes. That's why I wrote the current Foster's Valley story; if the show was going to address that subject I wouldn't have touched it, as I'd end up violating canon, which I'd rather avoid.

8D Classic. :up:

Which is why I'm pretty much waiting for the few remaining episodes to air before I get properly started with writing my own Foster's fan fic...it's a great advantage when you actually know the entirety of what you have to work with. Not that I expect the canon to ever at any point address any of the stuff which I'm interested in writing about, but you never know.

Anyway, sorry to deviate off-topic there. Thanks for sharing that information with us, Cass; it's good to have that age-old mystery (well, dating all the way back from 2004) finally solved. :frankiesmile:

Some great info, thank you for finally, finally sharing it with us! :bendy:

Hehe, I'm teasing you, no worries on it being late. Honest. Cross my heart and hope to die. :frankiesmile: I'm interested in hearing she did indeed have an IF, and that he was tiny, so he could live in a doll house. I'm seeing a lot she and I have in common, as one of my imaginary friends had the "power" to shrink in size, and also lived in a doll house. ;) I found that pretty cool. I was a loner much of my childhood too, and once I got into my tweens, having IFs got me ridiculed by my peers. Sadly, it was then, when I was 12, that I decided to say good bye to them. They'll always have a special place in my heart though. Aw, I think I feel an even bigger connection to Frankie now. We're sisters in spirit. :frankiesmile:

Why must I double post, why??

Well, there's a new banner for the ToonZone CN forums which was created last year, and for some reason has yet to make an appearance on the actual page, since the current banner is way out of date. And among the characters making a mark on it, for Foster's, it's not Bloo or Mac, or Ed or Wilt, Mr. H or Madame F. It's not even Cheese! It's Frankie! :frankiesmile:

http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?i...nmenu3cov4.swf

It's a shame Fosters ended before there was time for that story to be revealed...I wonder what her friend looks like, or if they will ever find Frankie again for that matter.......

Truthfully, I never once thought about that ridiculous notion that Frankie was an IF. I mean she has a grandmother and a family history and stuff like that, acknowledging her parents and stuff so to me that was a ridiculous notion to begin with. However, it was nice of Craig to finally spill the beans on the whole imaginary friend issue with Frankie. Truthfully I would have liked to hear about her parents more.

But hey, what you get is what you get and special thanks to you Cass for taking the time and initiative to ask Craig and tell us. Though this info does come from the horse's mouth, I kind of disagree with the idea that no characters on the show harbor any romantic feelings for Frankie *nudge nudge, wink wink* Mac anyone?

I find it hard to fathom Mac doesn't have romantic feelings for Frankie, especially after that "dare" episode. Perhaps he's too young to know what love and romance is being a kid but I'd say considering the way he acts around her, the obvious look of concern and emotional shakiness when he was asked to tell Frankie, and the fact he has continuously showed this through out several episodes, I'd say its pretty close to romantic feelings.

Granted, nothing will come of it and again Mac may not understand it fully but I'd say what he knows if enough to know that is some kind of love for Frankie, be it misguided or otherwise.

Close, perhaps, but not quite the same thing. After all, he's only eight. In hindsight I wish I'd asked a couple of questions about him (like what his last name is) but at the time I was more interested in dealing with other issues once and for all. There's still more to learn about Frankie, of that I'm certain, but I didn't want to monopolize Craig's time. Best to step aside and let the next guy at the booth talk to him. Besides, I got what I wanted, and more. :frankiesmile:

Heck, I will be happy enough if Craig does me a small drawing of Frankie, and I get a picture with both him and Lauren - my mission would be complete.:frankiesmile:

EVIL FRANKIE (adoptcalpyse now)
 

I cannot believe the look on frankie in the end of Apotcalypse Now. She diden't care when Mac and Bloo were tied up by Wilt! EVVVVVVVIIIIIIIILLLLL!!!L! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! :blooevil: Most scary scene ever!

:D - "Sorry, but this hurt me more than it hurt you!"
(frankie smiles,:frankiesmile: herriman has common look on his face :herriman:)

There was no reason for this single comment to have its own thread so I merged it with this one.

There was a discussion between Lauren and another fan on her Facebook page earlier this week about Frankie's parents, and I wanted to share it with the rest of the forum so I asked her if I could pass it along. She gladly approved. :frankiesmile: She said there was an idea for a movie centered around Frankie's family, but it got bumped for the others.

So now we know Frankie does indeed have parents, and they're alive. She also has a sister and a nephew, so Frankie is an aunt! I thought that was very interesting. It would have been a great movie too if it had come to be. Perhaps it would make a great reunion special one day, at least in part. :frankiesmile:
