Good post, and yes this thread has not yet dies, and at this rate it proboly never will.
a side comment, I actually misread the above sentence at first, Does/would it have meant the same like this:
It skirts close to a "Shep Cartoon." I don't think that this is a cruel or mean-spirited episode.
I agree with much of your comments particularly your observations of Goofball. However I disagree on the your comments about the execution of the episode. I would agree that the creators did not think about Frankie fans while making the episode, but I do not think they needed to. I believe this episode was never ment to be taken serious enough to Hurt any Fans. Frankie in may ways serves the role of the traditional Tragic Hero, with the fatal Flaw of "Pride" (Always having to be right). this episode opens with the assumption that frankie is always right, She had the Jar, and Bloo is always wrong. WHen Goofball apeared at the door, Frankie was faced with the delema of How to uncover that he was not a IF. in trying to do suck she lost Everything, (similar to many characters that fit the "Tragic Hero" label) With that said, I look at the end of the episode where frankie once again frankie is right and bloo forks over the coin, (That part had me in stiches after watching the episode)
I like frankie, but I do not love her as some other members may, so Maybe I am just not as sympathetic as I should be to her Blight. Maybe I just have a bad streak in me somewhere ( I do like playing Half Life) However I pose this question to Goofball Haters:
WHat whould you have thought If the whole episode was just a nightmare an frankie woke up in the end. How would this affect your opinions of this episode?
