Exactly.
And, once again, let me compare Foster's to being in a play.
Y'see, in muscials and other plays, everyone really, REALLY wants the lead. They don't think that there is any point to having a part unless it's huge. But the chorus and background people MAKE the play. Without them, there's just a big stage and a shorter show (hey, all the chorus numbers, occasional humor ditties, and other stuff would be gone). For example, I'm Kelci (the piano playing chick?) in High School Musical right now. The entire show is about a high school, of course. Not just the six main leads. What high school has six people? You have to make it look realistic.
I never said that some of the chorus people don't bug me with their endless whining of, "But I'm so much better than [insert name here]! Why didn't I get the part?" Been there, done that... The chorus days were fun...
Just like the chorus people, the minor characters need to be there...
Or else there isn't Foster's, or there isn't a High School, or any kind of enviorment you want to show.
I always thought being in the chorus was fun, because you could have fun without a lot of pressure. Well, a minor character can add (or take away) from an episode because they don't have to do anything to the plot. The pressure is gone.
Of course, Goo doesn't always do that... Take the last episode. I think she's pushing her way towards being a main-esque (ha) character in that she's had to solve the plot of an episode before.
I like that happy medium- Goo can be a minor character ("I Only Have Surprise for You"), or a main character ("Make Believe it Or Not"). I think that it's pretty cool that a character can do that. I mean, you couldn't have an episode without Mac, because, y'know, he's Mac- one of the MAIN characters.
And now I'm ranting and babbling, so I'll stop now... :bloogrin
