** Perhaps, the episode was a SecretTestOfCharacter. Of course, Daniel could have done those things but, at the end of the day, a king knows how/ when to help his subjects and, by being kind, Daniel helped the subjects of Make-Believe.

***Or we could take it that "Make-Believe" is a different universe/world to our own, so, it's "real" in that sense but it sounds fictional to us. I mean, Mr. Rogers never said "Make Believe" ''wasn't'' real.

* Not to hate on "King Daniel for a Day", but I think that there should have been ways he could both be kind ''and'' do his duties: with the treat, he could have given half to O and half to King Friday, or gone back and bought another treat, and with the cymbals he could have simply played them for Miss Elaina, or given one to her and one to King Friday.

* Despite Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood being a continuation of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he has such a little direct influence on life in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe that he doesn't exist, yet mr. [=McFeely=] does. I don't get it. Perhaps this is the neighborhood of Make-Believe which exists in the collective minds of those Mr. Rogers left behind, but if that's the case, why wouldn't his memory be more actively incorporated into life in the neighborhood?

** Maybe initially, the Land of Make-Believe was just that-- make-believe, existing in Mr. Rogers's mind, so when Mr. Rogers died, the characters who he dreamt up should disappear. But somehow, [[{{Tulpa}} the world came to life instead]], and they turned into non-imaginary beings who don't know he existed because having them be aware they weren't always real and initially only existed in some guy's mind would give them existential crises. Mr. [=McFeely=] either also had his memory wiped, or is keeping mum to protect the characters' sanity.
