Interesting!

Tomorrow I am going to be naked.

Beat the rush.

Beautiful and interesting.

Maybe the Chi-Chi of today finds his reflection unexpectedly svelte.

Or butch. What if you looked into it and discovered you were Mitt Romney?

I'd spend the next 48 hours staring into the other half and worrying.

The world would have reason to worry, too - even a Fraggle could run his campaign better.

I'd think the mirror had a glitch at the mo. I am not like Romney at all, in any way.

Oh, but there is a point to looking into Tomorrow's Mirror,

Because... if you look into it... and don't see yourself at all...

Then you really shouldn't be playing around with that invisibility spell after all?

And then what do you do?

Actually, I had a vague idea that if you walk into the mirror, you can go forward in time a day, as well as go back a day by walking through Yesterday's mirror. So maybe you *can* do something about time?

You might alter your position in it, but even if you could skip large amounts of it, eventually time will affect you. Like Tithonus in that ancient myth, your body will age... and after stretching that aging time past the usual limits, there won't be much body left.

Not literally be in the mirror, but go through it into tomorrow (or yesterday.) You might even make a loop, constantly living a full day, then go back to the beginning of it, over and over. Most people would find this boring though, unless you could change the day. After a while, it might be confusing, and if you aged while the world around you didn't, you could end up dying of old age on the same day. People would only know that in your last moments you babbled about endless numbers of things that they don't remember ever happening... for them, they didn't happen.

Casper doesn't cast a reflection, nor does he photograph (with untreated mirrors and films), but Wendy might see instead of herself, a grown woman, clad in black, her face seamed and scarred with evil & madness. In one of my fan-fics,one of my best and which burned me out, she becomes Sephira,terror of the universe !

There's also the possibility that there's nothing wrong with your arm. After all, the cast could have just been a prop.

Of course, trying to game a prophetic system usually is like unwittingly pulling a practical joke on yourself. When you think you've successfully gamed the system, it reveals the game was chess when you thought it was checkers.

A Lil Abner story involved the title character trying to avoid an untoward future,predicted by a special camera, only to precipitate it. The camera's last pic showed Abner destroying the camera in a rage !

By the time that story was published, I was becoming disenchanted with the strip.

It seems to be a common motif that, in trying to avoid an undesirable fate, one actually encourages it. Batman, Superman, Xena, Perseus of Greek myth, Doctor Who, just to name a handful of variations.

But if you walk into yesterday, you might find yourself repeating the same day forever.

See comment to GeneCatlow, above.

Is this actually canon from the show? Because that's quite the cool idea, though I couldn't find any info on the thing if it is!

No, it's not cannon. Neither are glowberries, the Waters of Forgetfulness, Rock Spiders, or the Winding Stair Fraggle community ... all inventions of mine.

This one I could totally see as canon. Quite creative ideas indeed!

Wait until you see what's coming... I'm busy compiling a few pages of The Lesser Book of Fraggle Lore, which includes all sorts of stuff like this, as well as a pocket history of the Gorgs.

If the Fraggles ever got restarted, you'd do well as a writer/ storyboarder on the series.
Offer your services ! Perhaps THIS is what you need to give meaning to your life...

Offer them to who? Henson is dead. The property belongs to Disney, I think, along with the other Henson studio properties, and Disney won't hire a nobody schmoe just because he has ideas. Ideas a easy to get, especially as it probably doesn't matter if they're good ones or terrible ones.

I have other notions, though. Before there were Fraggles I invented House Gamins. There are some important differences, but it recently occured to me that I might be able to iron them out, and apply my Fraggle ideas to the Gamins.

While visiting a local grocery store yesterday, I came upon a table covered with DVDs for sale, among which was something called Down on Fraggle Rock, for $6. Do you know anything about this, whether it's any good or not?

It's one of two or three trial-balloons that were produced to test the market. Each contained three or four episodes, plus one of those gruesome cartoons. One of them even had a "hidden" episode you could only view if you got all the questions in a quiz right. Fortunately, the questions were quite easy, and you can write them down.

They must have indicated an interest, because the full first season came out a couple of years later.

I got rid of mine. With all four seasons in hand, I didn't need the short collections. While $6 isn't a bad price, obviously it would be better to have them all, and you might be able to find deals on the full seasons boxed sets for about $25. Episode for episode, that would be an actual savings. The other goodies inside are worth having too -- one reproces the note pad Henson joted down his sales pitch in, as he flew to London to sell the idea, and has all his original ideas for the show. Another one has a pile of production notes and sketches.

Having all four seasons, though, even at discounted prices, is costly -- I happen to think well worth it, though. Four episodes just can't be enough.
