That was a very interesting article, thanks very much for sharing it, Lauren. I'd never previously come across that information about Bloo representing Craig before the death of his father and Mac after, and there was something about that paragraph in particular which really stood out for me. It's kind of hard to explain, but in a way it causes me see the characters in a whole different light - like there's an even greater degree of poigency to their relationship as a result. It seems that imaginary friends are a part of who you are which, for whatever reason, you just can't hold onto.

Jackie Khones' backstory was truly awesome...though of course it does beg the question as to who that lady he was seen chilling with at the start of Good Wilt Hunting was if she wasn't his creator (yeah, I know who she is, but that isn't really the point I'm making). I guess there's nothing to say that other old friends and acquaintences from the outside world couldn't also be part of the reunion.
