Watching people say one thing and do the opposite is a good start.

He went on to say that the “whole thing made me think about every date I’ve ever been on,” which in turn made him realize, “If this made not just me but other people be more thoughtful, then that’s a good thing, and that’s how I feel about it.”

This feels like the project changed mid-development, but no one was willing or able to call off selling the damn thing for $20.

This also seems like an ideal place for them to have included unused concepts from previous seasons of the show. Surely there are locations, characters and situations we haven’t seen.

I have…

I have to imagine they will be debunking that and including that scene in a trailer.

My guess is he’ll weasel out of consequences beyond possibly a tough reelection fight and return for Season 4.

People still live in Columbine, Newtown and San Bernardino. As unthinkable as it might be to outsiders after a major tragedy, those events also bond you to your friends and neighbors.

Right now, people are digging into Ridgecrest and Trona, even as many outsiders think the residents should get the hell out of there.

Depending on how long it takes to go through the process (I have no experience in that regard), the current administration may no longer be an issue.

I understand why she does it, but I don’t know if she’s ever going to heal like this. It’s just all-around awful.

It’s a real mall in Georgia dressed for the show.

They were varying the routes. A later code had things go in a different way. Apparently, they were worried about being spotted. That said, these were dumb Soviets. You don’t wear Soviet uniforms in your secret base on/in American soil, comrades.

Given how they treated the death of Barb in Season 2, I don’t think what happened with the Meat Mind Flayer this season is going to be forgotten. I expect Hawkins to be a very sad, very haunted place next time around.

I think Hopper — who left no ashes — probably jumped through the gate into the Upside Down before Joyce turned the keys, figuring a 0.1 percent chance of survival is still a chance.

The American being Brenner nicely mirrors the space race, which was driven in large part by real world bad guys (Nazi missile scientists)…

I think we’re going to get an arc for Joyce in Season 4 that includes A) leaning into Stephen King Country heavily, followed by B) yeah, the trauma is inside and the family wants to be back with people who understand and support them, in Hawkins.

I know a single mother who put her son’s urn inside his favorite stuffed animal. (He had a lot of medical problems and died at 7.) The stuffed animal now travels with her everywhere. Layers upon layers of tragedy and sorrow.

Having read a Tim Dorsey novel, this critique seems very believable.

Cheaper than calling Charlie and making dinner reservations.

And Father’s Day? I think we can all agree it was the right decision to rename it, “Rewatch Lord Of The Rings for the Xth Time In An Attempt To Escape Generational Trauma Day.”

I’m wondering when the cultural conversation is going to get around to Lewis Carroll. Granted, we have plenty of contemporary problematic folks keeping us busy, but Lewis Carroll is worth a conversation.

They just need to say the words “we should unionize” whenever having any unapproved emotions in the workplace, and the labor board will also become very interested.

Best store-bought salsa would be service journalism that I would appreciate. I find almost all of it to be a crushing disappointment and end up endlessly buying the same refrigerated salsa from the deli aisle, which is great, but which has gotten very boring as a result.

No, mayo is just slime spread on bread. It has its uses, but it’s mostly just an egg-based lubricant.

You can have good associations with it, but it’s not necessarily snobbishness for people who don’t.
