is. The words “The Flying Nun” reside somewhere deep in my psyche, and
when I hear someone speak them (in that order) I feel a small surge of
recognition (as in: Oh, that’s a thing which I am aware of the
existence of) hat’s about as far as my understanding of The Flying Nun goes.
Also,
I feel it should be noted that I found all the pictures in this article
by typing “flying nun” into google image search, so any Flying Nun fans out there shouldn’t be angry with me if a few of them happen to not feature the official flying nun. Thank you.

What I think the Flying Nun Probably Is
The
flying nun might be some old British television series featuring a
nun who flies around and performs various feats. Some of the feats I
believe she may have performed are included in the following bulleted
list:
Flying high above the city with her hand shading her eyes as she seeks out danger- Swooping down and rescuing children who happen to be hanging on the edges of cliffs
- Roping escaped cattle with a lasso and dragging them back to their owners
- Removing old shingles from derelict houses by flying by real fast so they rip off and cause a shingle tornado
- Scooping
up cement mixing trucks and filling them with water from a lake and
then pouring the water on a forest fire to help the firemen - Stopping bar fights by flying around the brawlers in a circle really fast while holding a rope until they are tied up
Yes,
the flying nun can do almost anything. I’m sure she also teaches some
kids a valuable lesson about life in each episode too, just like
Captain Planet.
Flying Nun Fanfiction
Bessie
swoops down into the the desert canyon. With her grand nun arms spread
wide, she can almost touch the sides. Spotting the group of children
below her, she dives toward them. The children begin to scream as she
nears. “A monster!” one of them cries as she alights in front of them,
“a black chesspiece monster and he’s eating that lady’s head!”
“Never
fear children,” Bessie soothes, “I’m the flying nun and I’m here to fly
you home. Now come along.” She steps forward, wrinkled hand
outstretched.
“It’s talking!” one girl wails, “Make it stop
talking to me!” “Let’s kill it with rocks!” shouts one of the older
boys. The others nod in agreement and begin scooping up large rocks
and hurling them.
“Yeah! Yeah!” The children cry.
“Oh my god.” Bessie cowers beneath the shower of stones.
“Eeeeeek!”
one boy shouts, picking up a particularly smooth stone and letting it
fly. The stone strikes her temple, dropping her to the ground.
“I hitted it,” one of the children yells triumphantly, “I seen the blood!”
“We
gotta make sure it’s dead or it might come back and eat us.” a larger
boy cautions, dragging an enormous stone slab towards Bessie’s
unconscious form. Upon reaching her he lifts one edge of the stone
above her head, straining and lets it drop with a
sickening crunch. Bessie’s limbs twitch for a moment, and then go limp.
“ Sounded like when I kilt a joonbug once.” a little girl coos.
A dark rivulet pushes its way out from under the rock and begins to
make its way through the sand.
“I like to smush things.” Says the older boy, rubbing his belly.
“Grrrrgl.” says the flying nun.
Accuracy
Alright, so I went ahead and actually looked up the flying nun Here’s what it says:
Flying Nun is an American sitcom produced by Screen Gems for ABC based
on the book The Fifteenth Pelican, by Tere Rios. The sitcom ran for
three seasons, and produced 82 color episodes from 1967 until
1970″…”The unusual premise caught the attention of the public and the
program
was a success, yet the storylines were limited, and by the end of the
show’s run, the writers were struggling to create new situations that
would allow the heroine to take flight.
So there you have it. I was 100% right. I’ll close out this article with a customer review of The Flying Nun: Season 1 I found on Amazon:
