"Destination Imagination" speculation and discussion - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I watched this special last week. I have to say, it's my favorite episode of the entire series. I loved how it all played out like an adventure, and it really did seem a lot like a video game, especially the whole damsel-in-distress thing with Frankie and the Mario Bros. reference.

I like how they sort of subverted the damsel-in-distress cliche by showing that Frankie stayed with World willingly because she was his friend. I also liked the friendship and chemistry between them. World also has the most interesting powers as an imaginary friend out of any other in the show.

I know this is kind of late, but Destination Imagination just aired over here. Well, I was taping it (because I like taping things) and then when it got to the "peed off" line, there was.. nothing. After Herriman's line, they took a shot from /after/ the line, and lengthened it a bit, I believe (I'll have to do a side-by-side comparison or something, but they definately did something.) I'm sure they did it because it sounded like swearing, but it's still a bit of a.. strange edit :| Especially since they didn't edit anything in the place of that line, so there was just a long silence.

It was a well-done edit, though, I'll admit that. Is this a UK-only edit, or has it been aired over in America/Canada (in reruns) like this?

Finally got round to seeing "Destination Imagination", 4 years later of course - but better late than never I guess. (Bear with me, reviews aren't my strong point.)
Goes without saying that I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, it was great to see Frankie get centre stage, not to mention finally getting some well-earned respect in the end. Thought the whole concept of an imaginary friend being able to become an entire world of their own creation was a unique concept, and he made for a very engaging character.
I especially enjoyed the underground chase scene, which obviously was a great big nod to a certain classic level of Super Mario Bros. And yeah, I was quite surprised hearing Bloo's "cussing" moment, it sounded very convincing!

An A+ all the way.
