Obviously today is a sad anniversary, being the anniversary of Jim Henson’s death. But it’s also the birthday of someone very dear to me, so I don’t quite know how to mark the occasion. I suspect that, given a choice between sorrow and joy, Jim would recommend that I default to joy.
But I think I’ve found a fitting tribute to commemorate both:
“Beyond the Pond” is an underrated episode of Fraggle Rock that had the misfortune to fall between two exceptionally memorable episodes: “River of Life” and “Gone, But Not Forgotten.” Having a similar theme to “River of Life,” but a considerably lighter touch, I think it tends to get lost in the shuffle.
If you’ve been missing Steve as much as I have lately, have I got a treat for you! Reader Andrew K alerted me to the existence of this three-part interview that Steve did a few days ago at the Great Philadelphia Comic Con. Approximately 45 minutes of pure gold; a really pleasant, informative conversation that didn’t get into the controversial Schism stuff at all (not that I would have minded, but I know some people are tired of it).
