Okay, so in the opening, don't we see Wembley standing there singing, and just as soon as he's out of the shot, he's jumping into the water? It doesn't seem as though he'd have enough time to get to wherever he's jumping from.
I think the Spiderfly almost went a bit Shakespearean on us. Something about "more things than are dreamt of in your...(philosophy)".
That Spiderfly (or "Odd Old Man") is a great looking puppet!
1986, and Doc's got a personal computer he uses to authoritatively prove things. I guess computers were just beginning to capture the public's imagination.
Marlon Fraggle! Yay!
Wembley's singing voice sounds really pinched and nasal this episode.
Weird that the shot of Wembley flying in his and Gobo's room was so slowed down. It really felt out of place in the sequence.
Aw, I wanted to see Sprocket fly!
Another Doc/Sprocket concluding sequence that felt like it needed a tag line or something.
Okay, really, this episode was pretty much exactly like the one that came before it. Wembley was motivated principally by jealousy, and he learned the lesson that you should do a thing simply for the pleasure in doing it, and not for less pure motives. It was a fun episode, and the Spiderfly was a fun and funny character and great puppet, but it was odd having two such similar episodes back to back.
