Despite what some people have said, the relationship isn?t pedophiliac in nature because it is obviously fabricated due to Mac?s naivety. In fact, I believe an episode based on that plot could be rather interesting. If Mac were forced to come to grips with the truth, in how Frankie is too old to be interested in him, then it could permit some good character development on his part. Maybe the Foster?s Crew could also use such an episode to give Mac a love interest that?s his own age.

I believe that you are referring to me, and that I have stated that the relationship between Mac and Frankie is "pedophiliac in nature". NOWHERE have I said this, or insinuated it, but instead I HAVE expressed concern that there ARE many people out there who DO believe this, and actually WANT this to be the case. If you don't believe me, go back and check out your old stomping grounds at TV.com, where you will see page after page of arguements that such a relationship between a grown woman and an eight-year-old child is perfectly normal and acceptable, simply because they are both human, and claiming that Frankie's feelings for Mac are clearly romantic and her behavior indicates that the two of them are mutually "in love" with each other. Also, anyone who does not believe that there is plenty of Mac/Frankie smut out there can go to Deviantart.com and type in "Mac/Frankie" in the search box, or go to the Foster's section on FF.net, change the rating to "M" in the drop-down box at the top, and click "Go". I won't even bother providing the names of specific stories; you can read the summaries for yourself. All of this was BEFORE "Ticket to Rod", based solely on "Frankie My Dear", and so I would guess that there will be a new onslaught now. I don't have a problem with Mac having an innocent crush on Frankie; I DO have a problem with the fact that this is used as "ammunition" to bolster the belief of many people out there that their relationship is far less innnocent and that it SHOULD be pedophiliac! It's sad and unfortunate that this episode is simply going to fuel that fire, but don't insinuate, please, that *I* myself see Mac's behavior as an indication that they are intimately involved with each other.
