Well episode 6 has probably the most direct homage to '80s movies so far this season.

Just finished Stranger Things Season 2, here's my review: it's cool that 11 teamed up with 1-10 to form a psychic entity powerful enough to take down the Omega-gigademogorgon-prime (who is also 13) after it killed her baby brother, 12, but I thought it was a little weird that the Grand Emperor of the Upside-Down was played by Gilbert Gottfried. Just seems like weird casting.

Finished it. Overall good but not as good as the first season - mostly by dint of it just being a sequel. Quick non-spoiler thoughts: The cast is great and still easily the best part of the show. Sean Astin and Paul Reiser are also great additions. Glad they gave way more time to Lucas and Dustin. Hop and El and Steve and Dustin pairings are great. I think you could have removed episode 7 and not lost anything big. I kind of wish they had, or at least spread that out over a few episodes - where they place it just kills the show's momentum dead (but the last two episodes make up for it). Cool new main villain...thing. sort of (more in spoilers below) The ending is very satisfying. edit: Lucas' sister is loving awesome. Spoiler stuff: Episode 6 - hay guyz, remember this scene from Aliens lol Episode 7 seriously wtf, it's "El learns to do bigger stuff if she channels her emotions," I didn't care for 008 or her gang or any of that poo poo. But since El is pretty much deus ex machina incarnated, I guess you gotta keep her out of the main plot. Episode 8 Bob the Superhero, you were too good for this show. gently caress you, show I thought for sure the designated victim would be Billy.The overall threat: The mind flayer is a great concept but I rolled my eyes when I realized 95% of what was going to threaten the cast was basically the demogorgon again. Why couldn't they have just had the mind flayer take over a bunch of people like it possessed Will? Or even just had different-looking animals than reusing the demogorgon? I didn't care for the subplot with the reporter. It's just there for JUSTICE FOR BARB (good god I hope the fandom at large lets it go now) and lets Jonathan and Nancy hook up Bruteman fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Man, I just finished episode 7 and it is total garbage. I would honestly recommend skipping it as it self-contained and entirely irrelevant to the story of this season.

I didn't even realize until coming into the thread that people had apparently built the fandom around season one's red- Up to ep. 3, liking it so far.

In It For The Tank posted:Man, I just finished episode 7 and it is total garbage. I would honestly recommend skipping it as it self-contained and entirely irrelevant to the story of this season. I agree completely. The whole thing felt weird and out of place. I get they were going for the "multi-ethnic street gang" trope from terrible 80s action movies, but it felt weird and forced and seemed like a cul-de-sac for El plot wise. Other than that the season was pretty great. Not as good as the first season which I felt was better focused and had what felt to me like more tangible, personal stakes than the more broad overarching danger presented in this season. All the characters were still great though and its amazing how good the chemistry is between nearly all the actors on this show. Very believable performances. I also like how the show is mostly populated with good people trying to do good. The gruff antihero guy who does terrible things for good reasons has been so overdone in recent years that its nice to have some earnestness and idealism for once. The soundtrack was a little weaker this year I thought, but the score was  . Overall very good.Edit: almost forgot everything with Dustin and Steve was awesome. Loved Steve way more this year overall.

Just from some cursory googling, it looks like Dustin keeping Dart is going to be this year's "Lucas is so unreasonable about El and a total jackass " (ie character did a thing I didn't like) thing.

Finshed the season. With the notable exception of Episode 7 (which basically feels like it belongs in a different season because it is so out of place), it was fantastic. Very few complaints, mostly about petty stuff*, so I'm satisfied. The characters continue to be excellent, and I ended up liking all the new characters (although I do wish [episode 9] Steve had kicked the poo poo out of Billy, just once). The last 10 minutes or so of episode 9 were pure joy and felt like a huge payoff for the characters we've grown to love over two seasons. If there was one complaint to be leveled at the season (other than episode 7 being poo poo, which is kinda related to my point here), it was that Eleven escaping the upside down felt too easy, and consequently it felt like the writers didn't really know what to do with her most of the season. I loved her storyline with Hopper but it did feel like they had to write her out of the plot in order to give the other characters something to do. *like (episode 8 spoilers) wouldn't a more apt analogy for the shadow monster be the elder brain, not a mind flayer?

I'm two episodes into the "aftershow" thing Netflix did (Beyond Stranger Things) and it's actually pretty interesting - they have the showrunners on and they discuss a lot about why they did things the way they did.
