GirlofPrey on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

I love Eerie Indiana. Love it properly and truly. The only flaw I can see is that the episodes are only half an hour long, so just when you've gotten into them they're almost over. But mostly I love it. And I love that it's not one of those things that aren't quite as good as you remember.

Marshall has the best TV family ever. They are all cool, and lovely, and quirky, and obviously love each other, with touching and little comments and just greatness. And possibly incest, of course. That's pretty much the only thing that's different from when I was young and watched it - constant awareness of all the odd subtext and possibilities. People keep putting their hands on the boys' shoulders and necks. Or dragging their faces right up to their faces. I think it's probably a bad sign when you start getting odd thoughts about a bitchy old lady and a nine year old boy. EVEN IF that old lady is on her way to meet/date the thirteen year-old ghost of her former love who she never spoke to. Yes. It's all just a bit inappropriate and lovely.

I love that a lot of their main 'of the week' characters are girls, and interesting girls. Sara Bob/Sara Sue! Janet Donner! Or kooky male scientists, like Howard the Tornado Rider! He was class. There's a some wrongly amusing lines, but mostly it is ALL CLASS.

I want fanfiction. Like properly, but not in that wild, frustrated way. I want AU fic where Marshall and Janet stay in the Lost Hour and go to New Jersey, and grow up there. And possibly have Lost babies! I want future fic slashing Marshall and the evil mayor. And I sort of want Marshall to grow up and move to Trinity, South Carolina, because glee! He and Lucas Buck can argue and compare their lustrous hair.

I'm just onto the episodes with Dash-X. He is still as fabulous as I remember, and pretty beyond words. Oh the sunglasses. Oh the idle rescuing of Marshall. For some reason I'm slashing him and Simon. And Marshall and Simon. And him and Marshall just because I want to. Anyway. It's all good. I love it!
