¡Ay,! Going down the fandom rabbit hole of an old beloved show is both fun and frustrating, and the best kind of nostalgia. Spending some quality time remembering my love of Sonny Crockett and wondering how I'd forgotten how truly bad the hair was. There are moments where the hair kind of looks like what a dude in the 80s might consider stylish, but there are others when the pretty manpain gets derailed by split ends and poor use of hair products.
Skipping here and there on Netlfix, I see that the Burnett arc mostly holds up (phew!) and that Shadow in the Dark is still a damn good episode, even after years of watching dozens of takes on the same storyline (good guy goes somewhat wacky going after wacky bad guy). Most of those takes are not as wonderfully creepy, which is always disappointing. Pretty cool that they manage that episode without it being about the usual villain, a serial killer.
Now I'm on the phase where I visit old, OLD, livejournal and dreamwidth entries, reading conversations that make me happy and grateful that others before me took the time to write down their love of this show.

MV aired around a time I desperately wanted to talk about it with ANYONE, but most people around me in Tijuana didn't watch it or didn't quite get why I was so in love with it. Oh, to be fannish with no fandom within reach (or an inkling fandom exists!). The internet saved me from all of that, just in time for my next angsty show, X-Files.
But this show, sheesh, it so hit those buttons that I've had for ever, what with all the pretty manpain and complicated charactesr, all wrapped up into something we had not seen before. What I would not given to be able to read the fanfic that was being published in zines.
