ORD, if I seemed like one of those "Bloo is evil x100" folks from TV.com with my "all-time low" remark, my apologies. I love Bloo, and think he's a very hilarious and unique character, along with nearly everybody else here. But I still it was very wrong of him.
Whether it's three seconds of Bloo turning his back on his best friend, or twenty minutes of Frankie being completely abused and cruelly denied thanks to a mooching jerk named Goofball, some things are just unforgivable and inexcusable, no matter how you put it. |

Is there anyone on this forum who has never done something unforgiveable, inexcusable, or just plain STUPID? Anyone? Speak up! I'm not one of them, since I've certainly done plenty of such things, and likely will do some more before I die, because I'm HUMAN. Foster's is a character-driven show, and if we are going to really be able to suspend our disbelief for a half-hour or less each week and find these bits of pixels to be real characters, real PEOPLE, then face it-from time to time, some of them are going to either DO things that are unforgiveable, inexcusable, or just plain stupid, OR they're going to have such things done to THEM. It's life, or in this case, an animated facsimile thereof. As Lauren once explained, you cannot have a character-driven series, in which people really relate to the characters, if everyone is always happy and holding hands and everything is perfect. It won't work. There's going to be conflicts, there's going to be hurt and heartache, and there's going to be things that tick off fans. I didn't like it when certain characters said or did things to other characters, but I am not angry with the show's creative team and I did not hate the episodes in which those things happened. I forgive the one character in particular who's done some things I didn't like, and that character actually remains one of my favorites. pitbulllady |
Well said pbl. Well said. Some are taking this way too seriously, for a split second event.
Well anyway; I finally saw the episode last night. It downloaded with a few hiccups along the way but I personally loved the episode. I'm not gonna over analyse anything tho. I sometimes do, but I don't feel I have to now. You guys have gone well beyond the duty of picking things to a skeleton. Goo was well handled, for once. She's not a character I can normally associate with, but she was really well done here. The glamour shots were amazing, they really were. Wilt's reminded me of Transformers, something I haven't thought back on for years. Mac’s of course made me think if Speed Racer, a show I never really watched or got into but I at least caught the reference. Bloo’s made me think if Conan the Barbarian. Goo’s was cute, all girly and sparkly like that. I didn’t catch any reference, if there was one. And Eduardo’s gave me cavities I swear. Very Power Puff Girl orientated to say the least. I enjoyed it very much. The use of imagination against imaginaries was I think, a stroke of genius. |
I think the point of the terms "unforgiven" and "unexcusable" aren't being acknowledged here.
I totally agree with you Vox. Human or no human, there are somethings you CAN'T let go. |
Welp. Can't lead a horse to water and make him drink if he don't want to. You guys think what Bloo did was so unforgivable that he deserves this kind of talk then that's your choice.
I just also wanted to add I loved the reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the movie. How Bloo and Mac were tied up to the speakers were very reminiscent of the scene in the movie. Nice nod I think. |

Awesome!
My 9 year old daughter and I watched this episode and were absolutely enchanted! The glamour shots were awesome and a stroke of genious. Our favorite was Coco as a Tyranataur ... exploding eggs? Inspired! I mean, that can't be beat! And I also thought the peak into Goo's house and her braids down and everything was very intense.
All in all, I'd say this was an A+ episode (all debates on the Bloo-man's behaviour aside) because it is definitely allegorical. Think about it ... If you can imagine it, or envision it, it can happen. Implies that we can have so much more control over our lives than we ever thought. And whoever wrote that episode actually gets it. Kudos! |
