Was Frankie completly sane?
I know the character was supposed to be portraying pre-teen angst but quite honestly, I questioned that child's sanity.

sharePre-teen angst; no! Insanity, perhaps! Annoying, absolutely!
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate]
She was not insane, of course. She was what all people are when no one wants them as part of their group....alone and trying to fit in, but incapable of doing so, since she was different. She was the girl at school that no one talked to. You had one in your school. You may not remember her name, though.

Between the ages of 10 and 12 I acted just like that much of the time and had my sanity questioned often. I would say Frankie acted worse and was treated somewhat better. A lot comes down to lack of a mother to manage her and possible sympathy towards a child lacking a mother.
shareOh yeah, she was sane, she was just a neglected kid acting out.
I was like that at that age, so were most of my friends, and one of the reasons we became friends was that we had a hell of a lot in common. But we were the basically decent, bright, nerdy, neglected kids. Other neglected kids got into drugs and petty crime, while we got into Star Trek, and I'll leave it for you to decide which was worse. But none of us were crazy, we were just floundering for lack of direction.
