I'm really hopeing that we get a commentary for "Frankie My Dear". That could help clear some things up in regards to her past.

That's definitely not out of the question, Medikor. I think a commentary on this episode would answer many more questions about her past. We shall see.

I want a commentary on all of the episodes from now on.
I'd personally want an episode about her past. I mean Wilt got one, why not our beloved Frankie? |

CN Block Party #31, featuring Frankie, is out now.
I'll look for it at Borders tomorrow or Friday. My antincipation and anxiety levels are meteoric as I type this. Last edited by Voxxyn; 03-28-2007 at 07:34 PM. |

I have #30. She's not the star, but she does have a pretty good-sized role, and she looked great. Very much in-character, too.

I saw the screencaps of #30 on CG's blog. The comic creators did a great job, both with the art style(which looks almost exactly like the actual cartoon) and the story and characters. As usual, Frankie was hilarious and great in it.

Not-So-Hopeless Romantic

Last night, I got around to watch the "Store wars" commentary on the Foster's dvd set and I got to say, as funny as it was hearing Bloo manipulate Frankie and Mac into ignorantly believing Madame Foster caused everything, I came across something very disturbing. In a sense, this commentary also makes me sad.
When I was listening to it I was really looking forward to hearing the Wilt prom remark. However when it came up, the way Frankie phrased it actually made it sound like it was a bad thing. Not that Wilt was a bad guy but it lead to the problem that I started to notice: Frankie is indeed lonely. Frankie never seemed to show any signs of her social life (or lack there of) until FMD, and at the end the fact she was going to remain "dateless" except for 2 pestering boys and 2 pestering IFs, it was all done in a whole "oh brother" gag. However the commentary really reinstates the fact that Frankie is lonely. Which makes me feel really sad considering how well I know the feeling . I love Frankie and the way she spoke on the commentary reveals some very personal things about her, how she really wants to do normal things like concerts, boyfriends, and above all, actually shop like a normal human being. She even said "I'm a girl, I need to buy stuff" or something like that. This really troubles me though, because being such a beautiful and loving person, the fact someone as amazing as Frankie can feel this way almost makes me feel disgusted. Someone said on here Frankie isn't really looking for dates. That she's not really looking for a boyfriend and wasn't as upset with Dylan's break up. But I really think Frankie wants a boyfriend more so then ever, as ironic as it sounds, but I don't think Frankie always feels loved where she is. I think Frankie really sounds like she wants something much more emotional. And hells bells, I sure as can relate! Half the people out there don't appreciate the simplicity of the fact that girls like them or would do anything for them. There are people like Frankie or as I have mentioned elsewhere, Sailor Jupiter who starve for love and almost always get rejected and left in the wind. Where as you get other guys and girls who continuously cheat and flirt with other boys/girls, toying with people's emotions and just carelessly tossing away the love someone is desperately trying to give them. Like a guy who's married and has kids and then starts cheating on his wife with another woman. What an idiot! Here you have a guy who has a life other people dream of having, and he throws it all away for some fling. Here you have a guy who doesn't appreciate what he has and the love and fortune has been given. Where as people more deserving, like Frankie, are still left out in the cold. In a sense, the commentary has been a more insightful look into Frankie's emotional and mental status about her social life then even FMD was. I apologize if I've gotten really weird and out of hand with this, and I'll make sure to burn the soapbox I'm standing on once I get done with this. But I feel I'm more drawn to Frankie now more then ever thanks to that commentary. It was funny but from another POV, it revealed a painful truth about Frankie's life and from one romance sucker to another, it kills me inside to think someone as fine and fantastic as Frankie is still left out in the rain.

You haven't gotten really weird or out of hand with this, not at all; indeed, you've pretty much summarized what a lot of us are likely feeling. The subject of lonliness has come up in this thread more than once, and elsewhere on the Forum as well. You've mentioned it, as have I, as have others. That someone as wonderful as Frankie, who we all see as someone who could have anyone she wants, it borders on being incomprehensible. But maybe that's part of what draws us to her; we sense, somehow, that she's lonely, too, and in that lonliness we feel connected. Because she's the kind of woman that she is, we want to reach out to her, want her to reach out to us. It's sad that she doesn't have a special someone, particularly when you know she has so much love to give. I know I'd give anything to be the lucky guy that she chooses, anything at all. And what is it with those guys, idiots all, who do have someone special and do horrible things like cheating on them or abusing them? I cannot understand that, not at all. How can you do that to someone you claim to love, someone who loves you? And yet these guys have someone, while a lot of really descent people, people like Frankie and Lita, like you and me and many others who post here, are left with no one. It just doesn't seem right, and it hurts so much.
