Talk:Frisky Dingo

message: Isn't "Frisky Dingo" the launch code for the Annihilatrix?   Didn't Sin mention that in episode 210?   Shouldn't that be in this article somewhere? --98.70.43.231 (talk) 16:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: What's in a name

message: Until more episodes are aired is it really necessary to have a separate character list? The information seems to be the same in both so at this stage it's pretty much redundant. --carpeNoctem 04:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless Frisky Dingo is cancelled early, there should soon be ample information to put in this section.  I do agree that the redundancy is pointless, though, and so it would be best to remove the summaries from the main page. MGlosenger 06:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Whoops, I thought this was on the Frisky Dingo's Character page.  You see what I mean, though..  Separate page good.  MGlosenger 06:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Yeah, that looks good now on the separate page.  --carpeNoctem 08:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Separate character section already?

message: When someone gets the chance, can they add the spiffy image link thing to the Wikiquotes page for this show?  I'm too much of a newb and too lazy to figure it out right now. -- ModernTenshi04 16:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, yeah, got unlazy and added it.  Saw someone added the graphic to the Wikiquote page that linked to the show's main article, and simply did what they did, swapping wikipedia with wikiquote.  Now I feel retarded for asking someone else to do what is basically extremely easy.  Anyway, go me! -- ModernTenshi04 17:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Neat!  Thanks for being less lazy than everyone else! Rob T Firefly 04:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Frisky Dingo Wikiquotes Page

message: How about we try to reach a consensus on the talk page as opposed to reverting it back and for?  What does everyone think should be used, the form from the Web site or the spelling on the show itself?  I'd prefer the show, since Adult Swim's Web site isn't always reliable as a source, but I'd like to hear what others think.  SGreenwell 22:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I find it weird that they decided on this spelling when various publications about Frisky Dingo and adultswim's official site used the spelling X-ticles. Where did they get their info from? Gdo01 22:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: One thing I remember from my hazy memories of running a Sealab 2021 fansite, is that while the adultswim.com crew are a great bunch of people, they're generally not the same people as those behind the Adult Swim shows.  Thus, mistakes can and do happen on their end.  Or, maybe it was 70/30 who made the mistake on that Xtacle paycheck, and we'll get a different spelling of the word on-screen in a future episode.  However, the case remains that we do have on-screen material to go by at this point, and that outranks any third-party source.  And only on Wikipedia could we endlessly debate the minutae of a testicle joke. ;-D Rob T Firefly 05:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, we know what's important in life :-D  Anyway, given the other comments, I'd also go with the version used in the show itself.  SGreenwell 10:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Spelling of the X-ticles / Xtacles

message: I think we're going to run into a problem if this show goes any longer than one season.  As it is, the "plot summary" section really isn't much of a summary, it's an episode-by-episode retelling.  I think if we aren't proactive, the entire thing might get edited out one night.  I think it might be worth it to do sort of what they have on the Family Guy page - They have a short summary of the show in the main article, then a link to another article that's just a list of each episode.  I think the text that currently constitutes the "plot summary" section would look nicer if it was split off episode by episode.  What say you?  SGreenwell 13:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right that the plot summary section is way out of hand. A link to a separate page for individual episodes is probably in order, but even then the individual episode summaries should not go into the depth that the summary currently does.Dekkanar 20:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Absolutely, this tome plot isn't acceptable.--ConradKilroy 16:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Very Long Plot Descriptions 

message: The information on when the second season will air keeps changing around without any new references being made. The current reference says "late 2007" and it is just a blog on TV.com that does not cite any sources for the information itself. I believe Adult Swim is running bumps this week that say when new shows are arriving this year, but I didn't catch if Frisky Dingo was on there. If that is where the current "Summer 2007" reference is coming from, then the old reference needs to at least be removed, if not replaced by a citation of the bump. --Jfowler27 22:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, agreed.  Besides, it seems kinder that way.  Otherwise you might have folk wandering by and thinking that there's some actual verification of a second season, only to be crushed later on in that way that Adult Swim loves to do.  Anyways, not wrong to hope that someone will bound on the scene with solid news of a second season and make all of this moot, eh? ;) Bitnine 22:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Season 1 DVD?

message: They may not actually be from the Asiatic region of Earth.  Perhaps they just happen to look like stereotypical Asians and speak Japanese. MGlosenger 19:32, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're getting a little too PC, to be honest.  They speak some form of asian language in the factory and they're packed in the van a la the normal stereotype about asian workers.  I don't think it's a leap of faith to state that they're asian workers.  Since we're talking about an animated comedy, I think it's hard to make all of the language neutral; the show uses stereotypes for a lot of its humor, whether it's the soul-less corporation led by the Stans or the "gay" X-ticle. However, I would like to hear some other opinions on the matter, since so far we're the only ones who have edited the article re: this issue.  SGreenwell 01:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Pretty sure the intent is that they are Asian-immigrant slaves. This is a common problem for immigrants to the US as they often have a debt to pay for their passage, and have no idea about the existence of laws that would protect them. Back to less serious discussion :D Axion22 20:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  They are 100% Asian. I have every episode on my 360 and I watch it once a day. Defiantely Asian males and females. Besides, it's a sweatshop.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoneandonlydedwinhedon (talk • contribs) 02:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Men in van 

message: I think would be useful to have:
*a description of the animation style
*a description of the over all tone of the show.  
I'd do this but I'm having trouble coming up with good descriptions of either. ike9898 15:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would say the animation style is 'muted'. My definition of this would be, very little necessary movement, such as arms, legs, walking, moving objects, etc., but plenty of unnecessary movements like blinking, twitching of the nose, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoneandonlydedwinhedon (talk • contribs) 02:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference No Longer Available Online 

message: I put a fact tag on the Spin-Off section. I can't verify the website (security procedures at work..bleh) so if someone can actually attribute a reliable source to the claim (is Frisky Dingo Central affiliated with 70/30 at all?) it would be appreciated.  Hazardous  Matt  21:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Xtacles is currently a redirect back to Frisky Dingo, but now that it's a separate show I think it deserves its own article. Anyone want to start one up? White 720 (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spin-Off 

message: This section seems to be more focused on somebody putting clues together that the show's town is based on Atlanta than actually describing the setting - majore motropolitan era, the present (or near future), etc.  This should be updated.Pirchlogan (talk) 00:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Setting 

message: I don't think the style section is entirely factual and is based on PoV. It is simply written by someone who has watched the show and made observations; it needs references (obviously) and possibly historical context, e.g. what shows are related and how are they written/animated? What backgrounds do the main creators come from; were they previously artists or wrters from somewhere else? You get the idea. Andre666 (talk) 10:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What is POV about it? And how is referencing going to help? Unless you are talking about referencing specific instances of these aspects of the style occurring on the show itself... Anybody who is referenced will have "watched the show and made observations". If it is not factual then why didn't you delete/alter it? Otherwise I don't see how this is a dispute. Also, I fail to see how the background of the creators has anything but the most tangential relationship to the style of the program. Barnabas Brown (talk) 15:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe a POV template isn't the right one then; perhaps, rather, one on citations? The section has clearly just been written by a viewer, not a professional – that's what I'm getting at; a professional view (by, for example, a well-known TV critic or company) on it should be cited.
