Thanks, Tom.

I live in Brazil, you see. Unfortunately, these "Eerie, Indiana" books
weren´t released down here. If things were different, I´d buy them all. My
only chance is to buy the books via Amazon or eBay.

Eerie was somewhat popular in Brazil in the early nineties, when it was
broadcasted on cable (dubbed into Portuguese and also subtitled). Today the
fan base is small but brazilian fans are loyal to the series.

I look forward to find and buy "Have Yourself an Eerie Little Christmas".
:-D

Thanks again and sorry for my English.

Hi Marcus,

I haven't read all of them, but of those I've read, I enjoyed "Have
Yourself an Eerie Little Christmas" best.  I've found the books by
Mike Ford to feel the most faithful to the show.  Be aware that with
number 13 in the series ("Switching Channels") the books begin
following two different characters (Mitchell and Stanley) which were
from the later television show, "Eerie: The Other Dimension."

Tom

Hi!

Are "Eerie, Indiana" books cool? Which one is the best?

My friend Scott has a new girlfriend, who's just 18... she stayed with
me overnight a couple weekends ago b/c Scott was out of town and their
place lost water and heat the very night we got 23 inches of snow.  So
we watched movies.

I find that she doesn't think Eddie Murphy or Denis Leary are fully AT
ALL.

Then, about an hour before it was time to pick Scott up, I put on
Foreverware.   Now she's hooked on Eerie Indiana and Scott wants to
borrow the DVDs so his 6year old son can see them.  AAAH, corrupting
new youth.

I think you can pretty much guarantee more ramblings from my little corner of
the Internets. Glad you're enjoying them.

   I never read any of the books; I'd never even heard of them until I did an
Amazon search and forgot to change the search field to DVDs. That's pretty
awesome idea, though; and part of the pre-1947 history on the show could have
been forged (newspaper clippings, old photographs etc). Of course, something
like the whole Trip McCall business wouldn't be forgable, but to blatently rip
an idea off Terry Pratchett, if Eerie has been a kind of weirdness warehouse for
nearly fifty years, it's not inconcievable that some of the weirdness would leak
out into the surrounding environment, like the grounds around the Unseen
University in the Discworld. So you don;t just get the baseline weird that was
stored there originally, but you also get the town itself acting like a magnet
for weirdness everywhere else, and even creating it's own weirdness!

   I really like that idea, might have to check the local library for some of the
EI books now. Thanks for that!

Well, depending on how much stock you put in the series of books on
Eerie put out in the early '90's, Mayor Chisel did sell out--to the
government.  According to one of the books (I believe "The Eerie
Triangle"), the government created Eerie in 1947 as a "warehouse" for

I love Mayor Chisel. Seriously, the guy is a complete dude. He's blatently the
forerunner of Major Wilkins from Buffy, coincidently my favourite Big Bad of the
entire Jossverse (Angelus doesn't count, that being mostly based on sex-appeal
and eyeliner and leather pants, all of which Faith, as Mayor Wilkin's sidekick,
also had). Of course, Mayor Chisel doesn't Ascend into a giant snake and he
doesn't have a sexy evil Slayer on his team, but he did try to feed Dash and
Mars to a werewolf - and I was in hysterics when he basically mocks Mars for
having caught Werewolfitus; it's such a hilariously tasteless and cruel thing to
do - and he projects that same genial, avuncular brand of Evilness that was
Mayor Wilkin's trademark.

Also, whatever's going on in Eerie? He's so in on it. That big fit he has about
the Circus of the Parabelievable, and how anxious he is to get his hands of the
"Space Thingie" (a name worthy of Jhonen Vasquez, incidently, and I can offer no
higher praise than that), coincidently just one episode before Dash shows up?
Conspiracy! Also the Loyal Order of Corn, the Harvest King festival, the speech
about America's history of looking the other way, the speech about not liking
newcomers, and the fact that he hangs around with Elvis? Either he's an alien,
or he really is an "overbearing, money-grabbing Mayor" who has sold the town out
for shiny alien gold.

And come on, he feeds people to a werewolf! Who hasn't wanted to do that
occaisonally?

I know what you mean about stupid TV station symbols - all my Big Wolf on Campus
episodes were taped off Fox Kids and that little icon thing and the occaisonal
scrolling advert for what's coming up next drives me insane.

   I am indeed from the UK, but my DVDs are region 1; I have a multiregion DVD
player. I bought them from the Amazon.co.uk Marketplace, from a seller called
CaimanUSA; I buy almost all my American DVDs from them, they're good people.
Cost just over £13 with p+p.

   Just noticed the co.uk address. Where did you buy your DVD from? Any chance
its region 2, I have a few episodes tapped of TV, but the giant Big Breakfast
clock thing in the corner pisses me off.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

So I got my EI dvds in the mail a few days ago and pretty much skipped right to
the episodes with Dash, and after getting on the phone with my brother and
partner in all things 90's, I came up with a few theories of my own as to what
is going on with "that sneaky kid with the hair".

   Okay, first and foremost: he's an alien. I'm just gonna go right ahead and
assume that because, well, it's my theory and I can do what I like with it. Also
because Ned from "Loyal Order of Corn" has the +/- signs and is an alien and
that whole thing with the crystal and the goofy hand signals and the door that
only Ned and Dash can open and blahblahblah. So Dash from whatever planet Ned
was from. I'm gonna call it Planet Loroc, because I'm like that.

   Secondly, that line where Dash asks if Ned is his father and Ned says
something along the lines of "If only it were that simple". Now aside from being
all "Awwww!" over Dash's crushed expression and yelling "That's not even a real
answer, jerk!" at the TV, the first thing that popped into my head was
"cloning". Admittedly I had been watching Clone Wars right before, but still,
I'm gonna go with the cloning thing because, well, everyone loves a cloning
storyline. Man, I love the word "clone". It's a great word.

   So, right, Dash is an alien clone. Sucks to be him. But who is he an alien
clone of? Is it Ned? Well, kinda. See, I think Ned is a clone too. I think the
grey hair and the symbols on their hands were originally some kind of signifier,
like a brand so that clones could be identified. And based on Ned's assertion
that "These symbols [the grey hair and the +/-] date back to a time long before
any of us can remember", I'm thinking that whatever the original purpose of the
cloning was, the people of Loroc have forgotten it.

   And if you were going to clone somebody, why not make it one of your
civilisation's best and brightest? The ones who could be the most use out on the
field if they weren't so vitally important that they needed to be kept on their
own planet? You get the intelligance and instincts and experiance of the
original, but in a body you can replicate thousands of times, so if it gets
destroyed? No worries.

   It also explains how Dash instinctivly knows about the crystal, how to work
the TV zapper thingie and open those doors; it's a form of genetic memory. He's
familar with all that technology because he, or whoever the original template
was, created it. I'm going to call my hypothetical template Dash Alpha, because
everything sounds cooler when you use letters from the Greek Alphabet.

   Only the law of diminishing returns comes into play, and the more copies you
make, the less bang you're getting for your alien buck. So eventually the clones
are reduced more or less to the level of the average inhabitent of Loroc. But
hey, why waste all those clones? Going back to the Star Wars theme, clones are
expendable. You can make a whole army of cannon fodder, you can use them to do
all the really dangerous, unpleasant jobs that "real" people don't want to do...
like sending them to uncharted planets where there's a good chance they won't
ever make it back.

   So the clones are kind of like the equivilent of the SIR (surveillence and
information retrieval) units on Invader Zim, albeit less likely to upload their
brain into a house, replace their tracking system with tuna or dress in a green
dog suit. And then I was like, "Wait a minute, it's no use them gathering all
this data if they can't report back." So I figure, maybe the people of Loroc are
like bees. Or, you know, the Borg. They have a collective consciousness, and
what one of them knows, all of them know.

   Or maybe, because I can't resist a conspiracy theory, all the information the
clones collect is stored in to a giant alien database, to which only a few
shadowy Governmental types have access. So it's not that nobody remembers the
purpose of the clones or the meaning of the grey hair and the symbols; it's that
The Man is keeping that information from the general public. And to tie in with
my hive-mind theory, if these shadowy Governmental types have direct access to
the database which stores and transmits the knowledge of an entire race, what's
to stop them from tampering with it, from altering the public's memories? Which
would explain why nobody has a fucking clue why there's all these folk with grey
hair and weird markings running around.

   We can see from the pictures in the Order's Lodge that Ned hasn't aged since
1918, so clearly the people of Loroc or the clones age much more slowly than we
do. But they do age. When Dash asks why Ned hired him, Ned says that Dash is his
assistant, "maybe even my replacement". He also says he doesn't think he can
stand much more time on Earth. So I'm thinking his weariness is transmitted to
the hive-mind, who decide it's time to pull him out and send a new operative to
watch over us grubby humantypes. And so, they transmit data back through the
hive-mind to Ned, allowing him to build his portal home, but in such a way as to
make him believe that this is all his own work. The truth is, his job on Earth
is done and he's being recalled.

   So even the clones don't know they're clones, and the Man takes care to keep
them in the dark about that paricular aspect. Dash has no memory of who he was
before three months ago because he was floating around in his little clone-tube
waiting to be sent on a mission. But the hive-mind allows the Man to upload all
the information he'd need to fit in on Earth, explaining why he doesn't know his
own name but knows who Orville Redenbacher was. The hive-mind also prompts Ned
to tell Dash that his answers are in Eerie, motivating him to stay around
instead of returning to Loroc with Ned and screwing up the Man's intentions.

   Now, even though they're clones, Dash and Ned each have their own very
distinct personalities; Ned has this wonderfully dry sense of humour and a real
affection for Earth, even if it is the weary affection you have for a
hyperactive puppy that just peed on your slippers. Dash, on the other hand, is
an avowed cynic, and to be honest, he comes off as a bit of a crazy bastard too.
And why is that?

   Well, if we take into account the much longer lifespans of the people of
Loroc, that cloning technology might have been created thousands of years ago.
Dash Alpha is probably dead, and the remaining clones don;t have the knowledge
to maintain the equiptment. And like any old computer system, you get an
increasing number of faults as it reaches the end of it's lifespan. Errors are
sneaking in; the clones are becoming their own people, with their own dreams and
desires. Naturally we can't have these pesky malfunctioning clones running
about, so once a clone is recalled, they get reassimilated (sorry) into the
collective (sorry!) conciousness.

   So let's say, on his return to Loroc, Ned is greeted not as a returning hero
or a comrade long thought lost, but as one of those pesky crippled war veterans
the Government doesn't want the bother of caring for. So he becomes the mental
equivilent of soylent green; his body is destroyed and his mind is broken down
and added to the big ol' super-secret database that controls the Lorocians.

   And in that final moment, when his horrified mind percieves the entire truth
behind his existence, let's say he manages to pass that information down the
line to Dash, happily making his morally-ambiguous way in Eerie.

   In his place, can you honestly say you wouldn't throw a complete shitfit?

   I had some more stuff about how this ties in with "Reality Takes A Holiday"
and why Dash goes from being Simon and Marshall's "semi-friend" to a nutbar who
wants to kill him, but it's late and I have work tomorrow, so I'll leave it for
another day.

(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=4731882892&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%
3AIT&rd=1).  They are two milk cartons from The Lost Hour, a
newspaper from the The Dead Letter (headline "Hoover to Nation: Don't
Worry, Be Happy" and a few other newspapers. Two are just generic
Eerie
Examiner papers, but another has the headline "Prohibition: Why We
Love It". I remember that paper, but haven't been able to identify
the
episode yet. Obviously one that has some scenes from the past, but I
can't find it.
