![]() ![]() She’s no longer their guide (like Valerie was), now she’s their colleague. ![]() They aren’t going to freak out like they used to, instead, they will search for a solution because they’ve been in danger before and engineered their way out. ![]() It isn’t going to teach them anything new, just reinforce how much more she knows. At some point, there’s no reason for her to hide her knowledge and planning from them or the true scope of the danger they’re in. But she keeps resolutely chipper, trying to reassure and excite them even as her voice breaks.Īnd this makes sense. During the final episode, when the bus is unable to take the pressure of the ocean and things look dire, she is clearly panicking because her kids are now in danger. And unlike Valerie, who always kept a strong cloud of mystery about her and what she knew and didn’t know, Fiona makes it very clear just what she is aware of and not aware of. Here, Fiona seems to already know what they need for a given day or be flexible enough to figure out a solution as they go. Frizzle a lot and she seemed to improvise a lot of the destinations and lessons for the day. Frizzle overtly displaying on PBS were excitement and happiness.

And while she’s never quite as all-knowing as her big sister seemed to be, she knows when to talk and when to let her students suss something out on their own.Īnd while her past is a bit of a mystery, just like her older sister, she seems just as accomplished and well-rounded. She’s more excitable than her sister and treats her students more like peers than children she is supervising. She still has that zest for adventure and thrills at new discoveries.Īnd while there is a multitude of similarities between her and Valerie (old sayings, clever wordplay, impeccably questionable fashion sense, a flair for danger) she’s decidedly different. So expect these to weigh into my analysis.įrom the moment I heard Kate was onboard, I knew I was going to love this character. Originally posted by wooden-swings-and-diet-coke Second off, I have a huge gay crush on the fabulous Kate McKinnon. Frizzle is a Time Lord (because honestly, it’s obvious). I have all the episodes, can quote most of them, and openly promote theories that Ms. A Balanced Review of the Magic School Bus Reboot The good, the bad, and the genuinely surprising about the Magic School Bus Rides Again.įirst off, in the interest of full disclosure, I am a huge fan of the original. ![]()
