It's just hard to watch someone go through with that. With Frankie in "Bloooo" she could have saved her self a world of grief if she calmed down and looked at things rationally.
I see.

It's true that Frankie could have (and should have) calmed down and put on her rationality glasses. I think it's easy to see why she didn't, though. Most folks I know would not act rationally if they were spooked and caught out in the rain. It's a very human reaction by Frankie; not very fun to watch, but fairly realistic at the least.

As for "Duchess of Wails"...
I always took the scenes of Mac getting pelted with produce to be a parody of the "epic" battle scenes in those fantasy movies. The fact that the imaginary friends were "defending" the house with produce was kind of funny. I suppose seeing Madame Foster directing an "army" was also supposed to be silly.
I can see why you didn't like it. I'd liken your opinion of that scene in "Duchess of Wails" to my take on Frankie's freak-out in "Blooooo", if I may.
