Fraggle Blog - A Friend in Need

Episode IIx, written by Laura Phillips.

Okay, Gobo's pretty stuck on himself this episode...

I really liked Wembley's Piglet-like frightened word-scrambling.

Hmm...this is basically the first Fraggle/Gorg conversation, isn't it?

Okay, this "Count on Me" song is really stopping things in the tracks. Can Sprocket count on you to stop singing and help him get unstuck?

Okay, at least now he's working while he's singing...

Wow, what a beautiful shot of Sprocket spiraling through the air!

Well, that was a very significant episode in terms of the evolution of Fraggle Rock's storyline. Gobo and Sprocket made friends, and Gobo and Ma Gorg had a sympathetic conversation. I guess Sprocket didn't initially chase Gobo back into the hole because he was supposed to be sad about not getting his dinner, but I think it would have been a stronger choice to have him chase Gobo as usual, and then get stuck. That would have given him a longer way to go emotionally, from the usual outrage/anger all the way to sadness and then gratitude.

So will Sprocket not chase Gobo anymore? We'll see!
