“Time passes, and Wendy grows into an adult who now has an Italian accent for no reason”  - oh so it’s THAT kind of bad movie. Love it. 

If you were the star of a movie you might remember that.

To be fair...they really didn’t handle the previous twenty centuries very well either, but they escaped scrutiny.

You either die a hero live long enough to become an out-of-touch goodwill-burning socially-conservative crank. 

And how would I know if there’s an invisible man sleepin’ in my bed? He’s invisible! 

It’s like they forgot that the original was literally stocked with SNL and SCTV players. 

GB 2016 just really made we want to watch those four actresses plus Chris Hemsworth do literally anything else.

I saw it on a plane. You’re mostly right - it is elevated a little bit because the lead child actress is actually quite good, and Carrie Coon+Paul Rudd know what they’re doing and bring a glint of that Sigourney+Bill Murray screwball romance.

I’m a pedestrian who doesn’t have a driver’s license (medical condition), but this one’s for us:

Listen, I’m from NYC. If the characters don’t live in apartments, the show is rural.

The solution is to make them larger so the speeding drivers literally careen off into space - then we have a planet of safe drivers, with all the speed maniacs stuck up in orbit.

No, she’s not out to anyone - and she only came out to Steve under the influence of a Russian truth serum. Which is actually a pretty clever move by the Duffers to have a realistic coming out moment for a gay teen in rural 80's Indiana. 

Right? Although I did think his sudden death (after seemingly being set up as a supporting character) was an effective way of showing that the Hawkins Lab goons were a serious no-mercy threat to the protagonists.

If there’s a heartfelt scene of Robin giving Will advice on coming out, my cold little heart will be warmed (have Robin and Will even met?)

I took his advice on how to banish the living out of my haunted house and nearly got eaten by a sand worm. Never again!

“Justice for Barb. She was the star of Stranger Things because she had funky glasses and hair, and now where is she? Dead and unavenged. Sure, they had a funeral. But still, this meme still has some juice in it.”

Agreed - I was pretty skeptical about spending further hours with this show after the tepid last two seasons. Almost didn’t pick it up - especially after hearing how LONG it is.

I remember that era and was around the same age! In hindsight, UFO talk was everywhere and then sort of disappeared around 2000.

“He’s running so fast you can’t see him!”

Yes! They’re adding Armie Hammer, Kevin Spacey, and Matt Lauer to the cast.
