The Frankie Foster discussion thread - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Cassini90125 · 04-24-2007, 08:43 PM

This thread is for discussions about Frankie; her life, her job, her hobbies, etc. Think of it as an "intellectual" thread; posts about why we like her should go in the Frankie Foster appreciation thread, to be started shortly.

We had been talking about whether or not Frankie plays video games, so let's pick up where we left off in the old thread. I can't really say much on this, as I don't play video games other than the Sims 2, but they strike me as something she'd get into, perhaps more out of necessity than anything else. What with all the work she has to do in the house, she'd probably be reluctant to travel too far away, or for too long, lest disaster strike; video games would, I think, be a great way to have some fun without being away from either home or job. Which ones she'd get into is another matter; not long-term games, I don't think, nor do I think she'd get much out of combat-oriented games, either. You guys know more about this than I do; what's your opinion?

I touched about this in the old thread too (of which I do want to say sorry if I ever contributed to anything that happened), but I never found Frankie to be a hardcore gamer and by hardcore, I mean like games like Sims or RPGs, or combat games like Ghost recon etc.

To me, I think Frankie would like simple games like blasters or something like that. I personally think she spends most of her online time chatting to her friends, I think this would probably explain why we don't see much of her friends or hear much of them.

I also think this because Frankie is almost constantly confined to Fosters, outside of her living there, her job makes it nearly impossible for her to leave that often outside of simple food runs. I believe Frankie spends alot of time chatting with her friends which could also lend to the insecurity thing.

I mentioned this before about how I thought Frankie felt a little insecure about her cooks as per her vastly dazzling assortment of clothes that she wasted on the jack ass Dylan in "Frankie my dear". That, and the whole commentary thing from the DVD but that's kind of another issue.

Anyways that's how i feel about it and I just wanted to say I'm happy to be apart of this new Frankie thread.

Love the new Frankie thread, Cass!

Anyway, I think Frankie would be more of a casual gamer. We know that she played that game in "Bye Bye Nerdy", so due to that and her busy life, I would say that she probably plays the "pck-up and play" type games. I think she's wouldn't feel that she has the time time to play anything that takes a timely investment like an RPG. Of course, by all we know, she could be an avid Sims player.

She'd probably play Flash games on the net. If she didn't have the time for other games (like Grand Theft Auto or Doom), she'd play the Flash online games.

This may be wishful thinking, but I think Frankie would enjoy the Pokemon games. They're awesome fun, plus, she willingly works with IFs all day, I can assume she has a soft spot for them.

Another way she might relax and unwind is by simply watching TV. We know Frankie watches The Loved And The Loveless, but other than that I don't know if she'd get into soap operas that much; it'd be hard to keep up with the storyline if she missed an episode, and you know she'd miss at least one every week (and we all know why

)

Today my fiance asked me if Frankie had an IF. Since I really only play the BFAHP and don't watch the show very often I figured I would ask here. Did Frankie have an IF and what happened to it?

Medikor · 05-22-2007, 08:38 AM

That's still very much up for debate, my friend. As of now, nothing has really been given to us to suggest that she had/has an imaginary friend of her own. But that doesnt mean that an episode will not be made out of it.
I think it would be something special if we got an episode where Bloo thinks that Frankie's friend Kathy is and imaginary friend (since we never see her) and tries to find her out.

Ub3rD4n · 05-22-2007, 11:18 PM

That would be a good episode. I think Frankie probably had an imaginary friend at one time or another (since she loves them so much) but still, nothing definite, she may have just played with the IFs at her grandma's place.

Medikor · 05-23-2007, 10:31 AM

I like to play around with the idea that Kathy is Frankie's imaginary friend that she put up for adoption and they like to keep in touch. But it's most likely that Frankie never needed an imaginary friend since she got to be with all the friends at Fosters. I guess we'll just have to wait for the minds behind Fosters to reveal Frankie's past.
