Sci-Fi Stranger Things (Netflix) - Part 1

[Morg]

Stranger Things has probably had more promotions and merch than any other movie or show I can think of in the last decade with the exceptions maybe being Jurassic World, Frozen and Wicked.

saw a Tide commercial and thought what the hell?

Sounds fun, lol. I hate final seasons because it's usually a free for all in popular character exits.

The Domino's commercials were fun.

I don't know what they're using to film this season, but it literally looks like it was filmed in the late 80s and I'm loving it. Doesn't look as glossy or HD as other Netflix shows.

Im watching the first episode now. So far so good. Crazy how much more mature all the kids are. Theyve really grown up.

Moved on to the second episode. The drama is intense. If there were more episodes I would be up all night!

Just finished Season 5, Volume 1:

Spoiler

YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!! WILL THE MOTHERF**KING WISE!!!!! HOLY S**T!!!!!! SO GODD**N HYPE!!!!!

They did it!!! Those motherf**kers finally f**king did!!!! What a long time coming! And I love that Will was able to mentally and emotionally unlock his powers by completely accepting himself, and from the encouragement of Robin no less. So cathartic! Also, loved Will and Robin’s interactions in these four episodes in general. Hopefully he gets to shoot some fireballs before the series is over.

You know, it’s funny, before they said who they were holding in that base, my mind went to Kali/Eight, before they mention Henry/Vecna/One and I started second-guessing myself. Then, a few seconds after seeing Hopper’s expression as he let’s El in through the door and Vecna’s shape through the gate, I knew who it was.

They finally give Holly something to do this season by making her an active participant in the proceedings, and I actually really like her character and the new actress they got to play her. Her interactions with Max in Henry’s mind prison were also really good. And she has that Wheeler grit and smarts. I guess apparently Ted’s genes, just like himself, just gave up and didn’t even bother.

Also, it’s amazing how they’re able to introduce these new characters and teach you to become a dear to them only after a little screen time. Initially, I found Derek to be a fairly grating little s**t and got pretty close to the point where I was wondering why they even introduced this character in the first place, but by the time they’re smuggling the kids out I was actively rooting for him to succeed.

The wait for Volume 2 is going to be so excruciating.
