Why did Mike's sister go back to the jock? That ruined her whole arc.

 

Otherwise, great.

 

Nonsense. I thought that was a nice touch, departed from the usual bullshit in movies. She fancied him more, and in the end he wasn't quite the asshole everyone assumed anyway.

 

exactly. steve had a redemption and we realised he was actually pretty cool. that was the arc. 

 

finished watching this all, damn good series, but a little overhyped....sorry. it wasn't quite as clever as it thought it was, it gets by on the vibe really well, and they totally nailed the vintage feel, but there were a fair few weak spots which don't necessarily detract from it but stop it from being a straight up classic or whatever.

 

Yeah, if they want to keep it real then she will talk steve into a 3way with the other dude later on.

Can someone explain something to me? I was super high and I'm not sure if I'm missing something or it just hasn't been explained yet.

Also, this show is great. It mixes so many good things together. It feels very much like an anime type of storyline, and an amalgamation of so many different things packaged very cleanly together. The music is obviously amazing.

It's just nostalgic enough and really hits all the sweet spots.

I did find that some of the storyline was a little bit weird. Like the impromptu flotation tank was a bit hacky. Like, I'm sure the salt/water/weight ratio was probably off.

When the police chief gets captured at the lab it never explained how he escapes, and then apparently he's got some sort of relationship with the gov organization now? It just hasn't been explained, or they just glossed over how he escaped the first time after the docs injected him in the portal room?

He makes a deal with the government to allow them to leave unharmed. It's a bit ambiguous, but it was briefly seen.

YAAAAASSSSSS!

Those episode titles tho...

Cool. I really enjoyed this bullshit. Can't wait for more.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hopper looks like Adam Wiltzie. 

I am now excited for season 2, though I will have to wait a year.

I guess I could do this with my kid. With his hair the way it is he could easily be Billy Idol, Calvin, and Butters from South Park with merely by changing his outfit.

SO KAWAII

I think I've got one more episode to go, then its done. It would be hard for me not to enjoy something like this, my slight gripe with it is that I've found Elle a bit flat and slightly dull, I know she's suffering from trauma so is not going to be the life of the party and cracking jokes, even so I've found her character lacking. And all the bits with her in the tank and Matthew Modine and all the experiments in the the secret lab haven't gone into much detail at all. There's a lot to of this could of been much better, even so its been pretty good.

I'm so glad I watched the entire season before reading this thread...

Just watched this in a few days, absolutely loved it. Was a bit hesitant after the first two episodes but yeah, great storytelling, great soundtrack, great references, all top. I don't really see any need for a second season though, most of the excitement in the show came from very slowly being clued in on the world and it's rules? The ending was done very well too, ambigious in places but with enough closure. But seeing the pop culture hype surrounding this show already I'm sure it's going to be milked for all it's worth?

Did anyone else lol when she re-taped the picture of barb lookin' like a sad whale on the diving board?

Absolutely lost it.

was really impressed with this serie. good fun!

On episode/chapter 4 now. Absolutely love the OST for this. Lay-Z-Boy sounds Aphexy as hell, ehrmergerrrrrrd.

Also, here's an interview with SURVIVE, the Austin, TX band that did the soundtrack: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7488050/survive-stranger-things-soundtrack-interview

I really, really liked this. It's not plot heavy like some shows out there, but for pure indulgence, you just soak it up and eagerly watch the next episode and the next and the next..

As a mini series it packs in enough oomph to gloss over some of the nuances or qualms some might have. 

Binged watched this thing last week. It's been a while since I indulged in a new series.

Really liked it. Ending was satisfying, but it's been left open enough for expansion, which is a rare/great quality for a season finale.
