I kinda feel sorry for Terrence. I know that a LOT of people on TV. com just plain hate him, because they only can see that he's not too bright(NOT that he can help that)and he's a bully to Mac and Bloo. They don't consider that this kid has some real emotional problems, and is very, very insecure. He also has this softer side that he hides, which is evidenced in his own Imaginary creation, Red, and his fondness for his "stories"(soap operas), with those sappy romances. Even that slumped way he walks seems to say to the rest of the world, "Please don't notice me." Terrence himself most likely bullies Mac because HE is a victim of bullying, and he has to take out his aggression and frustration on SOMEBODY. What he really needs is a good role model, a father figure-somebody who's patient, but still knows when to draw the line, who can set a good example in terms of behavior and yet still show "tough love" when needed, and who's smart enough to offset Terrence's lack of mental skills.
Geee...wonder who on the show would fit THAT job description....

I also feel sorry for him. I've been bullied for years, and I know what is like, and I still don't really fit in with people of my age. Since I haven't got anybody to take it all out on, I use to sit down and write it all out! I've got several little stories, a novel, and long, long comics... what is weird, they're rather about happy themes, not kids and bullies. I see you've read my fics, in the first one, Sheila is bullied, and takes it all out on her imaginary friend...

Geee...wonder who on the show would fit THAT job description.... I wonder which of us is going to write that first.  (I'm dying to.) Of course I have a lot to say about Terrence but I'm afraid I just don't have time. We're moving - been moving, since last weekend - and I'm swamped, and exhausted. And I'll be without Internet access from this weekend to the following one. So maybe I'll spend that time writing and/or drawing. Anyways I've been moving stuff all week and I'm tired so I'm not going to talk right now. But I will later.  I absolutely refuse to talk about Terrence on tv.com anymore, so I have nowhere else to talk about him...He *is* my favorite character on the show. (Some people think it's Duchess but it's not - just because I named my snake after her doesn't mean she's my favorite. ) (And btw to all the doubting Thomases, it IS spelled Terr ence. It's official. I wish people would quit being so lazy and spell his name right!! Okay I'm done. ;D ) |

I'm not gonna go as far and say that I feel sorry for him (I dunno), but I do think that Mac's/Terrence's mother is making Terrence become nastier, as far as his attitude goes. I mean, Mom didn't do anything about Terrence in the Pilot, and she forced Blooregard out of the apartment -- someone that was part of Mac's life. You know, I bet she doesn't even try to help Terrence with his homework, either. No wonder he's "pret-ty dumb." He could possibly have been a victim of being bullied around, in the past.
So, while he's no favorite character of mine, he does add a bit of chemestry into the series.

Y'know, Terrence never really bothered me. He's a jerk, sure, but I think he's probably an okay guy when he's in situations that don't inspire his "inner jerk".

Yeah, I'm glad this board isn't full of Terrence-haters only.

It worked for me more than once. I wonder if he'd get on well with Vicky the babysitter on Nick's "Fairly Oddparents"?

Well, a lot of repressed gays overcompensate for their self-percieved 'lack of masculinity' by being violent(bullying...) and basically trying to prove to others(honestly, to themselves) that they're not ladies. And it would explain Red... |

But that would explain why he's voiced by Tara Strong (at first I couldn't believe that cute little Bubbles and Terrence are actually "the same person"!) |

Terrence could certainly use more support from his mother, and Mac could use more support from her too. Geh, I have little good to say about Terrence OR his mother.

I know no one thinks he's a lady, that's what 'self-percieved' would mean. But of course, anything we say is all conjecture. XD Terrence channeling Bubbles... "Come back, Mac! I just wanna color with you!" |
