Eerie, Indiana rewatch 2019: episode four, the Losers

[froodle]

Hold on to your loose change, take a tight grip on your socks, and accept that your ball point pen caps are gone forever, because tonight we're taking a trip behind the numbers seven and eight dryers at the Eeriemat, and visiting the Bureau of Lost. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to watch... the Losers!

I'll be live tweeting it!

[froodle]

Yay! I love your Eerie livetweets!

[sonofgodzilla]

That reference to dementia right at the beginning! Ouch.

There's so much in this show and watching it now these little details to the adult world/real world is legitimately terrifying.

[sonofgodzilla]

AND I FORGOT HARVEY KEITEL WAS IN THIs!

[froodle]

Right?! Old persons disease at 35 is funny til you realize early onset Alzheimers is a thing

[evilinsanemonkey]

Finally had the chance to watch this :D

It's still one of my favorite Episodes.

If Lodgepool can book Al on a shuttle, is NASA involved in the bureau of Lost?

Have we discussed whether the Lost Hour is a department of the Bureau?

[froodle]

If the Bureau has connections with NASA, Laika is totally the unofficial Bureau pet. Liverpool gets very cross and shouts about professionalism and proprietary and not having dogs in the hallowed halls of the missing, but suddenly "head office" need a bunch of premium dog food and squeaky toys to be misplaced

[froodle]

The Garbage Guys as like the secretive hard-core misappropriation engineers. Guys like Al gather in the breakroom and confide that those guys freak them out, and have definitely drunk too deep of the Bureaus koolaid

[froodle]

Will I ever stop showing up for The Eerie Rewatch a week late? Who knows?!

[evilinsanemonkey]

eerie at any time is good eerie

[froodle]

Good point well made!

[froodle]

The Bureau of Lost is an awesome concept, but I do also love Marshalls electromagnetic vortex theory

[froodle]

Edgar putting his briefcase in the fridge is way too relatable to me as someone who once found a textbook I'd already rebought in the Weetabix box

[froodle]

The Teller house is so blue. Like, really blue. Given papermom!Marilyn's comment in Who's Who that Sara Sue looks so beautiful in blue, I headcanon this as Marilyns favourite colour

[froodle]

Also there are way too many cushions on that sofa to be comfy.

[froodle]

It's not Evangelion because that came years later, but I really want to know what that Eva-angel looking model is from. And if it was an original property they invented for the show, that's even worse because of want to see where the refderences popped up again

[froodle]

Pushing thirty five, ugh, I will officially be older than Edgar by the years end

[froodle]

The Unkind Ones were SO GOOD, omg I want the Eerie's post property locating Hells Angels so bad

[froodle]

I love the weird Eerie hybrid businesses - bus terminal and supper club, baitshop and sushi bar...

[froodle]

Is the form status in the background the same one outside the Loyal Order of does Eerie just have multiple corn statues scattered around town?

[froodle]

Anyone able to get a better look at the stickers on the decoy luggage trunk Marshall and Simon use to sneak Mars into the Bureau?

[froodle]

I'm almost certain there's a sticker for the Bermuda triangle and one showing a UFO beaming someone up in a triangle of yellow light

[froodle]

I wish I could make out the graffiti on the wall r the alley Simon confronts Al in

[froodle]

I'm pretty sure the top line says grow corn forever but I can't make out the second bit

[froodle]

LMAO I love that.Marshall first instinct on finding himself eye to the with Lodgepoole is just to do up the little window in the luggage again

[froodle]

Bureau of Lost: absolutely AMAZING set omg

[froodle]

Also, Booker Ts wrestling theme is totally the Bureaus music

[froodle]

It's fast becoming an outraged trope, with all of back g the internet in our pockets to entertain us in waiting rooms, but that joke about the magazine makes me laugh every time

[froodle]

If I was to design a crest for the Bureau, it would definitely involve a ballpoint pen cap on the end of a fishing line

[froodle]

Wwhhhhaatttt and wwwwhhhyyyy are the mannequins?!

[froodle]

I love that vaulted roof. I'm pretty sure that's the same set Simon was in when he smokes the cigar and laughed during Marshalls dream sequence in Dead Letter

[froodle]

ARM

[froodle]

All the massive computer equipment in the Bureau combined with the bare brick and gaslamp&fairy lights lighting is just *chefkiss*

[froodle]

When Lodgepoole is talking to Al what it Simon's ballpoint pen cap lure, there's a dollhouse in the background behind Mars and Lodgepoole. I wonder if it's the Dollhouse that Time Forgot from the tiein books

[froodle]

THAT'S DEFINITELY THE LIBERTY BELL RIGHT?!

[froodle]

Simon: one million percent the smartest person in this show

[froodle]

Nice to see the straitjacket lady managed to get the stains out between the opening credits and now.

[froodle]

The accordion lie is such a weird choice, Mars. I'm not a great.liar either but wow, it doesn't even make sense.

[froodle]

Marilyn and Edgar are just the best TV couple.

[froodle]

Think the Party Fowl hangs out at the Eerie Chicken Farm? One million percent this is fanon now.

[froodle]

Poor Steve's retainer still front and centre in the evidence locker!

[froodle]

...that video camera Lodgepoole is talking into isn't connected to anything. Did the Bureau have wifi back in 1991?!

[froodle]

Lost coffins - empty or occupied?

[froodle]

I for one am very glad the Bureau misappropriated those creepy toys from the closing credits.
