The not really Cave of the Great Bell

Aw..but what's so magical about a storage closet? That's no fun!
I think CS Lewis probably had the same idea when he wrote about 'Narnia'. :wink:

But, you're right, I never thought about the legend or the how's and why's too intensely. One thing was clear to me in watching that episode (one of my favorites btw.), the map did have the cavern shaped like a bell, which Wembley noticed. I liked that he noticed it and not Gobo. It just seemed better that he recognized it before contemplating it too intensely.

Me? I always thought that it was the shape of the room, and not an actual bell being present. But, I did like the idea that Cantus had about the center and the heart of the rock not being the same. That was positively brilliant. :smile:

Indeed. Whilst the cave was the center, it was the Fraggles themselves who were the heart.

I am so glad that you guys understand the depth of that. I thought it was one of the most thought provoking episodes that I had ever seen. I even watch that episode when it's not Christmastime...that's how much I love it. :smile:

The entire show is thought-provoking, honestly.

Cantus and the Trash Heap prove as such.
