Yeah.....this seems like very raw territory now so I'm not gonna try and burst any heads here with anyone, I do have a few things I want to get off my chest on this whole issue. First off, I want to say that while I will never sugarcoat what happened to Frankie with Goofball was a total nightmare.

Even if it was a single concert or 20, it was really hard to see her get pushed like that and all because of someone who was so inconsiderate, lazy, and insensitive to Frankie's feelings. I hate the way she was treated and yet oddly enough, I can actually stand to watch this episode.

More so then the "Surprise" one. Why you ask? Because of mainly 3 things, 1: The only part that was REALLY like physically hard to watch was the scrubbing scene, 2: Frankie as we all know has very few episodes so good or bad, I think apart of me still watches it because it IS still about Frankie.

Take what you can get in a manner of speaking. And finally 3: Frankie at least accepted her beef with Goofball and left on a semi happy note, or rather I should say she left feeling a means of "okay, glad that's over". But as far as Mac's episode with "Surprise", that I physically CANNOT watch.

I don't like Mac over Frankie, but when you look at Mac's problem in that episode realistically....it hurts me to think what Mac went through. I can't see how someone becoming pscyhologically paranoid over the day of his birth is even conceivably funny, he is LITERALLY freaking scared of his B-day.

And why so, from a terrible accident, death of a family member, bad test grade, NO it was his freaking best friend! Bloo's been an ass before but this was way too far, I cannot tolerate the fact he was messing with Mac's head so carelessly, especially for someone who is supposed to be his best friend.

Not only that, but unlike Frankie's torment, Mac didn't get ANY relief. He was left more scared, more upset, and even MORE humilated. The episode ended with him worse off then he started. Do you know how HARD it is to actually get a phobia forced into you outside of childhood trauama or accidents?

Very hard, and the fact Bloo thought it was hilarious hurt me even more. I think Wilt said it best in the "Sight for Sore eyes" episode:

"I'm sorry but WHAT A JERK!"
