Sour Patch Tropical is also great.

It would never occur to me that Sour Patch Kids are too intense for someone.

Also, good job getting to this before the LA Times can do this in one of their food ranking pieces.

Cary Elwes will be back. The 1980s was a time of “reformed” sinners returning to public life. He’s going to be our Jim Bakker analogue, either as a literal televangelist or just as a politician crying crocodile tears while furthering his ambitions.

Hopper has PTSD, at a minimum. (And PTSD alone is plenty.) He’s a guy self-medicating with alcohol, unable to ask for help and likely pushing it away when offered.

I don’t think even he likes how he’s behaving, as evinced by his letter to Eleven at the end.

It would be great to see her confront her husband before the series’ end and tell him to step up as a husband — he seems to be a fine-if-unexceptional father — or they’ll be getting a divorce.

Era-appropriate (the giant wave of divorces in the 1970s and 1980s were a reflection of pent-up demand and changing…

Shit, they’re totally going to say the portal to the Upside Down was “three inches” when the keys got turned, aren’t they?

It’s clear they were going overboard with the overprotective father trope—especially in how he treated Mike, which was seriously fucked up—but if you fail to properly unpack or break down the stereotype, it instead just becomes who he is.

‘80s nostalgia bit we haven’t see yet:

Mayor Kline returns as a televangelist, complete with an “I have sinned against you” tearful faux apology, and gets a full on Satanic panic going against those meddling kids and their Dungeons & Dragons. (True Detective can’t be the only show to play in that territory.)

Yeah, I think we’re going to get an extended Stephen King riff, with the “you can’t run away from your demons” theme banged on pretty hard and then, at either the 1/2 or 3/4 mark of the next season, they return to Hawkins from Maine.

I think once the books are finished by someone (I don’t think, at the rate he’s going, that we should hold out for A Dream of Spring written by Martin), there will be a quiet rediscovery of the books and articles proclaiming that everyone should “check out the Westeros you only thought you knew.”

Toss in some lavishly…

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…

Gizmodo: Somehow not quite geeky enough to cover this Facebook story.

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.
