Eh.  I was on again off again with someone for years from junior year of high school well into my 20s.  There were reasons Nancy was into Steve at the beginning.  I haven’t watched season 4 yet so I don’t know the Jonathan dynamic but it’s believable.  

Im sure they'll be devastated. 

He gives “updates” like this since at least 2014. This book will never be finished. This is also the same kind of “updates” he gave on the previous book years before it was finished.

Keep going... you’ve got a lot of character story left.

You ok?  

maybe bitch about it in the episode 5 review?

All I wanted after season 2 was a spinoff that was Steve and Dustin (AND NOBODY ELSE) driving around solving mysteries.  Robin is now totally invited to be part of this show, the dynamic between the three is fantastic.

As a balding 29 year old, I envy his freaking perfect hair.

If you weren’t a queer teenager in 1985, you don’t know how plausible.

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

Ok we know Billy works out, “like a maniac” but does he work out like a “Maniac, Maniac, Maaaaaniac on the Floor”?

Two Weird Al references so far; me gusta. And hello use of Dark Crystal soundtrack.

Noah Schnapp broke my heart in this episode, first with the shouting match with Mike (who really has become a massive dick these past two seasons) and then smashing down Castle Byers. it’s crazy to think this kid (I don’t know if kid’s the right word, it looks like he’s aged three years since S2) felt like someone…

Swagger, for what it’s worth, also gets Mike locked in a police car with an ice-cold livid Hopper who, he is reminded, has control over whether he gets to see his girlfriend and whose last button he made the mistake of pushing. See what happens when you get cocky with your girlfriend’s dad?

Because the Elves left Earth and took all the magic with them. A sequel would just be a bunch of filthy peasants farming.

Hobbits eat two breakfasts, so he was filled with goodness.

All that lembas bread he ate gave him a distinctive flavor.

I wish I was as cool as them in middle school.

Most of the places are actual places in Durham, NC, where the Duffer Bros are from. I went trick or treating in Lochnora as a kid too. Jordan Lake and the Eno River are real, as are some of the roads mentioned like Mt. Sinai.

Funny. I see Rob Lowe, not Downey Jr.
