I know, right? Possibly even more grueling than the Frankie torture was, for me, the "PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE! DO SOMETHING! ARRGGH" feeling.

I'm still not convinced of that, to be honest. I won't doubt that the original pitch from which this episode resulted could've simply been an innocent suggestion for the "human potentially disguised as an imaginary friend" idea, instead of someone saying "LET'S DUMP ON SO-AND-SO!"... but what I do know is that Craig Lewis' script ended up being a very hurtful one.

Maybe I'm a little too blunt in my view, but I just don't see the humor in what Frankie had to endure in that episode. I'm mad at Lewis for writing the episode the way it was, and even though I will nonetheless continue to admire the great talent of the entire staff and crew, I'm disappointed by how they actually went along with it. What you guys are saying about them "only trying to be humorous" isn't really making me feel any better. I'm still hurt.

You have my sympathy. I can't make myself believe that the writers really wanted to hurt anyone as much as they did, fan or character, but you're right, there was nothing funny or entertaining about that episode.

I'm sorry Voxxyn. I know how important Frankie is to you and how much she means to you.

Can you guys do me a favor and start an episode discussion thread for Imposter's Home and take some of the conversation over there? Because there's a difference between discussing the character of Goofball and the episode as a whole. Ya know?

Voxxyn · 10-14-2006, 08:32 PM

I don't think it's possible to discuss Goofball without discussing the consequences he had on Frankie. The only thing left would be unrelated remarks like "I liked his elephant nose" and "I hated his 'uh'-ing".

Sparky · 10-14-2006, 08:37 PM

Forget I said anything. ******. Knock yourselves out then.
