FINALLY watched this after about a year of many people haranguing me to do so lol. I loved it!
Brown didn't have to display a particularly wide range of emotions, but she really nailed it as Eleven. She was my favorite character, but they were all great. Also loved the TMNT-esque dynamic between the boys, even if Will was just Donatello by default lol. Looks like he'll be a bigger part of season 2 though, so that's cool. I was also pleased to hear that the Duffer Brothers plan to end it with season 4. I like my stories to have a definitive end, and I hate it when TV show either go on too long or get dropped before the creative team is ready to seal it all up. |

I still feel it should've been an anthology series with each season doing something different. Still, I'll be all over S2.

How would you have had them anthologize it? Other stories inspired by real-life shady military/CIA experiments and their aftermath or what?

The ending left me happy, it was a twist ending and I don't really feel like I need to know more about this specific universe. |

Can we agree that Matthew Modine's character is definitely still alive? We never saw him die, nor did we see a body.
And they definitely left it open for more. We know next to nothing about the Upside Down or what those creature things even are. It's not even clear how the Upside Down works... if I punch a hole in my wall, is there suddenly a hole in the Upside Down? What happens in reality if I damage structures in the Upside Down? Alternately, if I'm in the Upside Down in a bathroom going #1, and in the real world, someone uses that bathroom and slams the seat down, does that mean bad times for me? Alternately, if I'm going #2 in the Upside Down and someone in the real world flips the seat up... do I, like, go flying through the wall behind me? What are the rules? I was hoping the Upside Down was actually a post-apocalyptic future after a War of the Worlds-like invasion, but that's clearly not what it is.

![]() I definitely want to see more of the Upside Down... that, for me, was the standout for the show. So much more to explore and explain...

I like that Duffer brothers are building a mythology within Stranger Things, and that it is at least somewhat inspired by (what some kooky people claim to be) real events. Quote:

Looks like you almost got your wish, sdp
Stranger Things Was Nearly an Anthology Series, Before Everyone Else Got on the Bandwagon ![]() That could've been cool, but I'm glad things turned out the way they did. The story told in Season 1 was definitely good enough to deserve a continuation. Spoiler:

Well I'm still hyped for season 2 though since I had a blast with the first season, I just don't think the answers they'll slowly be revealing will be as good as what we may imagine.

I am excited for season two of Stranger Things, but I am also a little concerned, because the trailers were very light on Hopper punching people, which, as we all know, are the best moments of season one.
If Hollywood ever decides to do its whitewashing thing again, as they do, and remake Fists of Fury, they should just have Jim Hopper as the main character. Don't even explain it. He's just in Thailand now, punching drug smugglers in an ice factory. Only he survives. Quote:

I'm at the same point just about, got the last two episodes of S1 to rewatch today so I'm fresh for S2 tomorrow. I'll probably only get to watch an episode or two tomorrow but I'll probably be almost done by the end of the weekend.

First episode is kinda boring aside from Kfc and the game arcade. I hope to see Barb back, I dunno.
On to 2nd Ep. |
