I am so confounded by the rules of this puppet. The show is so obtuse about whether or not he's a seperate entity from the boy. The other students usually refer to him as if he's controlled by Robbie, but when he does something bad they get mad at the puppet himself? And hit the puppet as if this would by extension hurt Robbie? And the puppet actively works against the boy in so many situations. Why would anyone make their puppet their own worst enemy? It's completely sick. Is the puppet sentient? Is the f*cking puppet sentient? This show is insane

The ventriloquist overtaken by the spirit of the doll. Haunting. At the end of the day I guess my theory is that the boy needs some kind of outlet for internalized self-hatred, and that he's just very weirdly self-harming by letting this puppet ruin his life. What a good show. I hate Dan Schneider for so many reasons but the first of them will always be that he made me think about this.
