Just because a show doesn’t go full Game-of-Thrones on its cast, doesn’t make the writers “cowards”. It’s just a different genre of TV.

I do kind of wish the love triangle had been resolved in this season, but given how overstuffed it was already I think it was probably better to save it (having her break up or stay with Jonathan when they would have had at best a two-minute scene together at the end wouldn’t have been satisfying.)

I will say that…

cause she looks deathly thin

Do you really think they’ll kill anyone important after the fakeouts and fundamental cowardice of the writers this season? I guess it’s more likely to happen in the final season, if ever.

Yeah she should have much better than either the dude who was cool in high school and still hangs around doing nothing or the stoner guy making nothing of himself long distance relationship.

He was an actor in a situation comedy TV series.

The dark side of his comedy was that it wasn’t funny. Then he died.

I wonder. I’d still probably describe a collection of Barbie-branded dolls as “Barbies” even if each were a different character, so to a certain extent it’d make sense to call the whole cast of doll-people Barbies even if they aren’t all Barbie.

She also needs to eat a sandwich.

This was one of my biggest gripes with this season. If you want to break up Jonathan and Nancy fine. If you want Steve to find love again fine. But don’t have them breakup only for Nancy to go back to Steve. Even in small town America in the 80s, people don’t go back to their highschool sweethearts like this. The…

Nancy is IMO the best character on the show, love her combination of toughness & vulnerability. She 100% should not settle down with either of those dudes, particularly at her age 

And as is often the case with real life couples, their onscreen chemistry is negligible 

I believe she’s dating Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) in real life

Well the sword was from when they sent the prisoners in the arena with weapons to battle the demigorgon.

Overall, I’m satisfied. There are a few loose ends, though:

I mean, I’m pretty sure that we’re already in The Bad Place

These people want an authentic American egg sandwich, not a good American egg sandwich.

Vegans really need to take a trip to Taiwan to see what’s possible with not just fake meats, but tasty vegetarian (vegan) dishes. With the large buddhist population, vegetarianism has been a way of life for a good portion of the island. A lot of innovation has been made, just without the fanfare. Granted, a lot of it…

Ah, Wu Chung, the less celebrated brother of the more popular Wang Chung, which everyone is doing tonight.

This linkage between smell and taste is something the cocktail world has gotten for years. It’s why you express the oils from a lemon or lime rind over your drink. It doesn’t change the taste, but the scent enhances the flavors you perceive from the drink. And for a few years now, you’ve been able to buy cocktail…
