This. So much. Especially since Mike was expressing something I’ve always felt towards most of the characters’ (particularly the adults’) treatment of El. They use her over and over, with littler regard for her safety. And they use the fact that she is desperate for affection and basic human relationships and will…

Askren also talked a HUGE amount of shit before the fight, he loves being a troll, and for a site that loves to go on about McGregor’s pre-fight antics you managed to leave out Masvidals comments about that right after the section you quoted: “There’s not too many people I’ve disliked, I’ve had over 50 pro fights and…

Jonathan did apologize to Nancy:

El’s body, El’s choice,sure... But one can’t express concern for her without being part of the patriarchy? Fuck you. There is a physical sign that she’s doing at least SOME damage to herself every time she uses her abilities. Since her manifestation mirrors Charlie’s dad in Firestarter, and we know that every time he…

Y’know, I’m not usually one to say, “These nerds need to get a life,” but these nerds need to get a life. 

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that guy manages to simultaneously resemble both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick. Great casting choice for a pseudo-Terminator.

Those rides weren't that concerned with safety back then.  This is the generation that would let kids climb over the front seat and back, or ride on the rear shelf under the back window

I think the beauty of Steve’s character arc is that season 1 Steve was defined by popularity and pretty girls.

“We all die my strange little child friend. It’s just a question...of when!”

In the space of 8 episodes, they cement Steve as the greatest character and even give him the amazing Robin to hang out with.

I went on a train ride roller coaster with my dad in the 70s and because I was with a parent I was allowed on. The bar did not restrain me, and I nearly flew out.

Did you really just do this entire recap without mentioning the taut, suspenseful, painful, TERRIFYING hospital battle ONCE? A gesture to Nancy getting thrown at a wall, a couple words for BRUCE and then... nothing? Nothing at all about Jonathan’s astonishing bravery in the face of a horrifying beating, never once…

The infection that allowed it to control Will in season 2 got trapped in our world when the big gate closed, but it wasn’t until the Russians reopened it in this season that the mind in the Upside-Down could reconnect to it and use it to start building an army and subsequently a giant rat- and people-goo flesh puppet…

Minor point, but didn’t the restraining bar on the Ferris Wheel seem a bit high? Like the Wheeler’s small girl could easily slip through it and fall? You can see in to the screencap above, and it kind of freaked me out more than the monster did.

Nothing will be sadder for me this week than the moment Alexei gets shot through his Woody Woodpecker doll.

Steve’s latest fan-pleasing character trait is being the accepting best friend of a new lesbian character. As if he needed to be more popular than he already is.

I loved Steve, but I think I love drugged-up Steve even more.

The steve-dustin combo was the smartest, most unexpected thing season 2 ever did. Steve as a whole quickly grew into a really lovable performance.

So when are the rereleasing the original original coke? I'd bet that would be even more rad. Perhaps with a numbing after taste?
