Some to add:

#22 Mokey's Funeral: after Mokey overhears the others ripping on her poetry, she gets upset and says something along the lines of "they don't even like my poems, even Gobo", as though she counted on him more than the others or felt a deeper connection to him
#23 The Beast of Bluerock: she hugs him and calls him a "brave, strong hero-to-be"
#24 New Trash Heap in Town: the little bit at the end, when they're hugging, complimenting each other, and particularly when she puts the flower garland on his head, then runs away giggling (thus making him chase her)

It may be grasping at straws but when you put it all together, it could suggest that there may have been something.

Yes, I always sensed that "special relationship" they had also...really there were so many complex layers of relationships, but the Gobo-Mokey one was always the one which most intrigued me (since Mokey is favorite, for one big thing).

There's also "Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe" where Gobo and Mokey are teamed up for most of that episode. Plus, the Gorgs' salt shakers just happen to be replicas of Gobo and Mokey. :wink: I know, it ain't season 1, but I thought of it as another example...

And I too love Gobo's line, "I never got to tell her...so many things." I love how they have the pause before "so many things"...it just makes it so much more profound. So deep.

Man, I gotta get this set!!!
