I suspect those dogs are not old enough to be driving that car.

Puppies! I can just about feel their little velvet ears and wriggly little bodies.

I liked the first one, seems like a good setup for conflict in the next movie, but didn’t have any strong feelings about the second one aside from thinking it was funny.

Seriously? This season was SO much better than season 2.

I love that though Gaten Matarazzo’s mother is named Heather Matarazzo, she is NOT the actress of the same name from Welcome to the Dollhouse and The Princess Diaries. Though the actress Heather Matarazzo has tweeted that she is a fan of his and thinks he is adorable.

Blasphemy! The “Neverending Story” duet was not only one of the most charming and entertaining scenes of the season, it was one of the most crucial to putting across the central theme of the season: the idea that in the face of oppressive pressure to stagnate and conform, it is actually good and valuable for people to…

Can you believe this fun and entertaining show had the nerve to do something both fun AND entertaining? Maybe it could have just been 35 minutes of a dragon tearing apart a city instead?

I loved this moment. I started to lose it when the music came in to back them and the reaction shots from everyone really, really sold it. Joyce leaning her head against the wall and Murray slowly turning with a confused look was fantastic. This whole series is and has been an ode to 80's cheese so this worked for me.

Don’t do it, resist! It was bad. Too sweet and too syrupy, it was worse than Pepsi.

I had the same childhood experience with Fox’s Alien Autopsy “documentary.”

As someone that went from the original to New Coke, I can tell you - it was bad. Horribly, awfully bad. I *switched* to Pepsi bad. Coke Classic coming back in just under 3 months tells you how bad it was. 

What was it like growing up with Ben Carson?

I worked in grocery stores for far too long and in the rare occasion Coke had packaging that didn’t include the word “classic”on it, older people would insist it was New Coke. I had many a senior citizen yell at me because of this. This happened up until the point I left in 2014.

This is why I was actually a little disappointed that the Duffers went down the abusive father road in the beach sequence, even though it later became obvious why they felt they needed it once El used that part of his past to redeem him.

I don’t remember it being bad, just different.

Thanks for the reply!

I get some of the yelling, some of it. But to me it comes across as the writers thinking that it was really funny last year, and seizing upon it like it was some form of fan service.

Season 1 Hopper is WAAAAY quieter, he drinks, but doesn’t drive home (that) drunk, abuse his powers as chief of…

Yeah I don’t really blame him for being overly protective of a 14 year old girl who seemed to do nothing but make out with her boyfriend all day in her room. Plus kids that age are really fucking annoying.

I will give it to Netflix, though: The over-retailing of Stranger Things has made me nostalgic, but only for a time when fond memories weren’t an extractable resource to be mined by purveyors of sneakers, fast food, and crappy soft drinks. Those were the days.

Steve is Ben from Lost, no matter how much he gets beat up (*cough* A LOT! *cough*) he’ll always get back up.

Are you guys working on an article on how awful Hopper became?

That aside, I do like Harbour, my working theory is that there will be time travel in the next season, since this season made a quite a few references to time travel movies of the time.
