Fifth episode of the FX series’ fourth (and final) season flashed back to the Seventies, channeling Dazed and Confused and Close Encounters
It is 1976 in Okern, and the last day of school for the teenage Maximus and his friends — who are, conveniently, all younger versions of characters we already know. So Maximus — or Chebon, as he prefers to be called at this age — is crushing hard on Mabel , who will later become Elora Danan’s grandmother. Mabel’s best friend is Irene , aka Cheese’s fake grandmother and current guardian.
It could feel contrived that all of this episode’s significant characters are Muppet Babies versions of the show’s elders — and that Bear and Maximus are connected by more than just the former randomly stumbling onto the latter’s property. But nothing onis ever purely coincidental, and one of the recurring motifs of the show is about how small the reservation feels.
More importantly, it’s valuable to see characters we know so we can better understand the limits of both their dreams, and of the 2023 characters. Bucky, for instance, wants to do great things with science, but close to 50 years later, he’s a folk artist who sleeps on benches, and whose connection to physics comes mainly from reading books about string theory. The Brownie of today is essentially the Brownie of 1976, and that guy doesn’t seem to want anything more.
