I've taken the liberty of posting a link to your idea in the episode thread; hope you don't mind.

Thanks guys, I'm quite humbled.

Well if my impression is true then a least they tried, right?

Like us, Peas truly appreciated Frankie yet was unable to let her know or cheer her on when she needed it. But what really intrigued me was that he did eventually manage to help her out. I may be grasping at strings here, but I really feel that the people behind Fosters made this episode as a nod to us. Yes it was hard to see Frankie actually be hard on herself, but I honestly feel that it was us that helped her pick herself back up and help her out when she needed it most.

I totally agree with you man! Great theory there!

I hope I'm not late for this, but my name goes on whatever you're doing for Frankie, Cass.

Medikor,

While I have not seen the episode yet, Ithink your theory is beautiful. I happen to be another Frankie lover (stating the obvious), and I hope all went well for out charming little redhead.

Wow, *slaps forehead* That is amazing, and you could actually be onto something there! Now, for a "kiddie show" that's only supposed to appeal to the 4-10 year-old demographic, that would indeed be a pretty deep metaphore, if indeed that is the case! I know that Bloo's theories about who created Wilt and all the horrific things that Wilt supposedly did in the past was a comedic tip of the hat to us Wilt fangirls, but I honestly never would have thought of Peas as being symbolic for Frankie's male fans!

I've gotten up and walked to the screen before. Usually because I'm touched somehow and want to hug someone. So I get up and send a virtual hug to them.

I probably do it to Mac more than anyone else, but I've done it a time or two for Frankie, too. In "TLP" when I heard her sob, and she called herself a loser, I felt a lump rise in my throat and I held my arms out to her and said "No you're not!" I seriously felt like tearing up there for a second. I didn't actually get up this time, but I did give her a virtual hug.

Yeah, add my name to whatever project you're doing, Cass.

Also, I agree Medikor's theory is very interesting. That's a very good point.

Medikor really does make a point. Peas does seemed to symbol for the Frankie fans. I do feel really guilty seeing Frankie cry in "The Little Peas", I really made me wish I was in the cartoon or I would have done something about it. That's part of the reason why I made my characters at DA.

Let's just hope this doesn't mean the creators view us as microscopic, annoying, pestering, speck sized Frankie fans like we see Peas as.

I'd hate to think we look/sound like THAT to the creators.

When we met her, Lauren Faust had dyed her hair red. As in, red-red. Firetruck-red. Frankie-red.

The resemblance was there!
