The episode wasn't bad. It wasn't good, either. Peas was a very flat character, and the high-pitched voice started to get to me after a while.

I also don't understand the significance of revealing Khones' and Fluffer Nutter's relationship. Not only was it over by the episode's half-way point, it's sort of outdated: TBC was an entire season ago, and Fluffer Nutter and Khones haven't been seen near or around each other in all of Season 5 (to the best of my knowledge, anyhow).

It definately wasn't one of the best episodes I've seen...

Just in case anybody wants to see the title card, and a screen of the credits gag:

Thank you, Shelltoon.

I'm going to go ahead and use the title card on the site, I hate not having one; I hope that's okay.

Shelltoon · 11-28-2007, 05:39 PM

Of course it's ok! I don't mind sharing at all.

Okay, I watched this episode again on tape (or bits and pieces of it) and I have to say even with that amazingly clever possible theory behind Peas, that to me doesn't change the fact this episode really was a bad, BAD, bad piece of crap. No theory will change the fact this episode was a total snore and bore fest.

Peas was more annoying then anything I've seen before because we stuck on him and ONLY him through out the entire episode. The fact he is the only true supporter of Frankie is ironic but not neat nor fun enough to make me want to sit down and watch this episode again without wanting to change channels.

If Peas really is a symbol of Frankie fans and this was a nod to us, I pray to god that it wasn't much of a nod and that it certainly wasn't a means of perception. If we look and come across as annoying as Peas does to the Fosters crew then my god we must really bug the crap out of them.

If so, it's kind of insulting for another reason; why would Frankie's fans, of all people, want to be responsible for what happened? Sure, we'd all gladly support her in any way we could without even stopping to think about it, but to be associated with a revision of history that robs her of a rare moment of triumph? Not me, thank you, and I disavow any metaphorical relationship between myself and Peas for that very reason. I don't want credit for her victories; I want to see her win on her own.

All we are saying is give Peas a chance.

As for robbing Frankie of her moment of triumph, she'd reached a point that all humans reach, when the sheer unfairness of it all breaks you down. That's when you need a friend, even a little one you didn't know was there. Besides, since when has begging for money constituted triumph?

Were not saying Frankie can't reach a point of breakdown. Everyone does, like you said. But the problem is she DID NOT have one at the episode's premiere, they changed it around just to find room for an episode like this to happen.

This wasn't one of Frankie's breakdown moments because it was changed FROM a triumphant moment TO a breakdown moment by the addition of Peas. Normally I refer to the show and characters more authentically and realistically.

But I just felt this was too upsetting a change for Frankie's personal sake to let go not pointing out.
