Fraggle Blog - The Garden Plot

Episode 20, written by Canadian poet B.P. Nichol. What an interesting fellow, judging by his Muppet Wiki page!

Hmm...how does Sprocket know the word "Fraggle"?

Pa Gorg's eyes are great!

Wow, this is not the time for a slow sad ballad from Red. She's panicked about Junior attacking the Fraggle hole, but suddenly she's all introspective. Doesn't work.

What's the story with Gobo's parents? Why does he call out for his Uncle Matt instead of them?

Cute! Baby Junior Gorg!

If they're anticipating Junior's first kiss, then clearly there must be other Gorgs somewhere.

So Doc rents, not owns.

Interesting episode. Fraggle Rock gets attacked from both sides, and Junior gets away with a lie. I have to say I wish the Gorgs' story was fleshed out a bit more. It feels like they're always just waiting around to have some sort of unconscious interaction with the Fraggles, and I have no idea how they spend their time. It's easy to imagine how the Fraggles fill their days, but not so with the Gorgs. Perhaps this develops as the series progresses.
