Okay, I like how this episode began unambiguously by showing Gobo and Sprocket getting along with each other.
"This Way": Cool song! Great segment! Awesome to see Sprocket in the Rock!
The Doozers are upset Sprocket destroyed their construction, but they're happy when the Fraggles do it! I guess it's the destroying without eating that they mind...
That was a fun episode! It was the first new episode they shot for season 4, even though it will be followed with two leftover episodes from the season 3 shoot. Muppet Wiki points out that it seems designed to serve as an introduction to the series, and I think that's true. Except interestingly, there was no Traveling Matt segment, even though we saw Gobo retrieve the postcard.
I've been wondering how much of the evolution of the series was actually planned out in advance. Was it the plan from the beginning that the characters would gradually befriend and come to appreciate each other? In hindsight, I think that evolution could have been planned better (if it was planned at all). For instance, there was an episode not too long ago where all the Fraggles, including Gobo, seemed to regard Sprocket with fear. And this was after Gobo and Sprocket had seemed to be friends.
At any rate, it has been a pleasure to experience the evolution of the show. We stand now on the cusp of season 3 and season 4. Looking forward to the rest!
