Fraggle Blog - The Minstrels

Episode 18, written by Jocelyn Stevenson

I like how it was established right off the bat that Red doesn't "hear the music".

Wow, Henson was great as Cantus.

This is definitely Red's/Karen's best episode so far. Was the puppet rebuilt? She does look a little different, but the puppetry and characterization seem to have a newfound confidence too.

Okay, Junior Gorg really does seem to be trying to kill Red and Mokey, even though he's just saying he wants them to "dance". I feel like the writers were a bit vague about the exact threat that the Gorgs pose to the Fraggles.

Ooh, so Doc can read Traveling Matt's postcard too! Will Gobo ever get the postcard?

Seems like during the season 1 break, the writers decided it was too limiting to always have to include Gobo venturing into Doc's workshop to nab the postcard. I'm not sure that's happened once in the last 6 episodes.

A great episode, but then Henson seems to enliven every episode he's in. "Sometimes you just have to let things come to you", I would say was the message.
