If Frankie considered you a friend, it wouldn't be because of some dumb hidden motive, but because she genuinely LIKES you. She's the type that would tell you upfront if a relationship with her couldn't work, not because she wants to hurt you or break your heart, but because she's a very honest person who isn't afraid to speak out when anything makes her uncomfortable. And she HATES jerks.

Frankie is honest, genuine and true... unlike those attractive girls who consider nice guys to be "just friends", only so they have a guaranteed shoulder to cry on when they're dumped and/or abused by their jerk boyfriends.

Yeah; if she says she wants to be "just friends", she actually wants to be friends, as opposed to the meaningless, simpering deflector girls use to not hurt guys' feelings.

Agree; before I met my fiancee, I had a female friend that was just a friend - nothing more. We had coffee together, she was my partner in cardgames against other people, and she would tell me things on her mind she would tell nobody else. But were just very good friends - no relationship (she is married with two kids now):frankiesmile:

I could really see the lucky guy who Frankie will get someday to actually start out as "just her friend". Just because she dosent feel that a relationship would work dosent mean that she's putting salt in the soil-a relationship can sprout from the most obscure places and situations.
I will admit that I, a grown man, find Frankie very attractive physicaly, but it's her personality that I simply adore. I actually prefer cute and pretty over hot and sexy, myself. And Frankie is just realistic in her appearance and personality. That may be why I think she is one of the most enduring characters to be made in ages.
Frankies personality actually made her look pleasing to me. It's odd but I never gave her a second glace befor I started to watch the show. But as I started to know her, I found her irrisitable. I would say that Frankie is exactly what I'm looking for in a woman but then I'd be setting my standards WAY too high.8D
Oh and to those of us that feel that she wouldant want to be any more than just you're friend; They say that the best thing you can do is marry you're best friend.;)

that makes alot of sense. i have to say that i would probably have to agree with most, if not all, of that. the more you watch something, you notice something (in this case, frankie) that you never thought important or worth the time. its nice to see an episode like "Frankie My Dear" because it will tell alot about the person in particular(this case, frankie.) I personally didnt really get into frankie until a few days after i saw the episode, mostly as i reflected upon what i had watched.

Also, seeing someone that puts up with as much as frankie does, and to still have enough heart for everyone around, it shows what kind of person she is. not many other people from fosters(wilt and maybe mac, but thats it) are able to constantly be like that. it is a good trait to keep.

BTW, that weird drawing of frankie in the head of douglas and adam in GWH, well it made me feel like barfing to be honest.

thats all i have to say, case closed.

I definitely agree with that - I was afraid to say anything. Is that okay?:D

Yeah, bridging the gap between "good friends" and more than that is hard and, if you get shot down, VERY awkward and devastating. A lot of kids in my school are so chauvinistic, it doesn't phase them at all to get shot down. Nice guys cry. Although, it would be neat to even be shot down by Frankie. I know a cute bolnde who is SO INCREDIBLY NICE that i actually equate her to Frankie. She's pretty, too. But, as with Frankie, so it would seem, all the guys are "good friends" with her. Even the normally chauvinistic ones are pretty stumped by her. Competition over beauty is natural, though, just like war or disease. Can't change it without being a free-love hippy, and that NEVER lasts. C'est la vie.

I dunno about the nerdvision scene. I think it was just showing how hopelessly in love with Frankie some people are in the show. Notice she was still wearing the same outfit, it wasn't trashy, just...stretched out a bit.

BTW: mad kudos to the guy who posted the "i'm punk rock..." soundbyte. I put that in my Power Rock playlist between the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". Hillarious.

I don't think it's "trashy" but instead "all glammed up". I confess that it becomes more pleasing to my eye the more I look at it. The animation is excellent, and I especially love the hair as well as the butterflies flying around her.

But I still think the original is the best. Frankie has such a sincere warmth and humanity to her that wonderfully enhances her scorching hotness and fiery temper, which is(intentionally) removed in the nerds' specialized vision of her.

As usual, Vox, I have to agree with you. The original Frankie we all know is the best of all.:D
