Or was it more of an act of god, like he seems to think it is (god, in his opinion, being television itself, which is fascinating)
OMG, yes. And given that they are all TV characters, from a certain point of view, Ted's not exactly wrong, either.
The Single Clip of Marshall and Simon gets really old really fast, lol. I know they couldn't just have Omri and Justin do cameos due to age and time, but also it's so obviously just that one few second clip over and over.
Yeah, I wish they could have found, I don't know, any other way to do this. Or just not have Simon and Marshall appear and have Other Dimension strive more to be its own thing from right out of the gate.
When Crawford says he loves the Marshall & Simon show it makes me wonder if one of the 2000 channels is just the original Eerie show on repeat, lol.
Yes! I want to know what's on the Marshall and Simon show and if/how it continued beyond the first season. (And now I have a fic idea.)
Also, while this isn't one of my favorite episodes, it does have one of my favorite scenes: when the cheerleader surgeons from TV come into the World O' Stuff and start drinking in unison, that's such a weird and creepy moment that calls to mind the basketball players from the credits of the original Eerie while actively amping up the weirdness factor.
