Having read the book a LOT of times, I can tell you that fits right on!
I just ... there are fewer characters I hate more than Lydia Bennet. I mean, I know she's a teenage girl but she's such a teenage girl it reminds me how much I sometimes HAAAAATE teenage girls. I just keep thinking about her twenty years down the line, when Bingley and Jane are all cute and adorable together, and Darcy and Elizabeth are all cool and snarky together, aaaaaand then there's Wickham and Lydia, who are just dreadful, I just keep picturing them with some sensible, awesome kid who keeps going over to the Darcy home and bitching to his aunt, "Dude, I don't even know." Except, you know, with more "thither." ;)
My Secret Identity was this show that was on in, like, the early 1990s, where post-Stand By Me still-kinda-pudgy Jerry O'Connell played this comic book geek who gets hit by a laser by his scientist next-door-neighbor and develops superpowers. It was kinda cheesy and bad, but I loved it to pieces, and it's like every other superpowered-kid show I watch where what I really want afterwards is grown-up-superpowered-kid-disillusioned-by-the-romanticized-power fic.
