OT: Stranger Things

[QuadrupleOption]

Really? I don't think she is very attractive at all.

On the show she's not, but she's supposed to be a frazzled single mom. IRL even now she looks pretty damn good.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Just finished it myself. Love that they've made some high-stakes changes.

I thought Cary Elwes was way underused.

 

[Xenomorph]

Just finished it with my kids.. 8 episodes of fantastic entertainment. They skirt the line of me being comfortable watching it with young teens... but it’s so endearing I forgive them for it. The last episode is absolutely outstanding.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

So was that dude a terminator or nah?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Anyone knocked it out yet? Bout to watch episode 1.

Yes and season 3 is the best. It has gotten better every season

 

[Cooterpoot]

I thought it was boring for the most part.

 

[Mayor of Little London]

I thought it was boring for the most part.

You suck cooterpoot!

 

[HumpDawgy]

They need to find a better way to close that ****** looking thing. Also, Mrs. Wheeler has got it going on (insert Stacy's Mom song here).

I dumpster your ***

 

[Cooterpoot]

You suck cooterpoot!

I mean, it’s like The Goonies meet Poltergeist.

 

[Hankp22]

This was my question too

So was that dude a terminator or nah?

Was it an 80s nostalgia nod to the the terminator or are they going to incorporate some skynet/terminator storylines?

The character was definitely a nod to the terminator at the very least.

 

[RPOdawg]

That letter to 11 at the very end. Man that hurt

Does it bother anybody else that the podunk town with the tiny downtown somehow sprouted a massive mall?

Yeah, but I love Parks & Rec and had to just let it go when Pawnee, Indiana often sprouted 15 story buildings and NPR like radio stations.

 

[jackbaddawg]

She might put a rise in your levis but I'll pass

 

[Xenomorph]

If I can get past 11's supernatural powers, the demons from another dimension and the general outrageous lack of parenting on the show... I guess I'm cool with the inexplicable demographics of Hawkins, Indiana.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Nah, the [spoilers] funded the construction of the mall. And the overall population of Hawkins might be small (I think the Duffers said it was in the low tens of thousands of people), the whole area might have enough people to support a mall. You have to remember that cities with 20-30k people were getting malls back in the 1980s. Also, if you go with the theory that Hawkins is based on other typical national lab cities, it's a small town in suburbia.

What I want to know is how they managed to fully build it in under a year.

I can't do it. The only thing worse to me was watching characters on the walking dead crank up cars that had been sitting unused for months or years. I demand a little more realism from my zombie shows. At the very least, everytime a car cranked up, the character should have said something like, "thank god, we found a car with a [brand name of car batter sponsor for the show] battery" everytime a car cranked right up after sitting around for a year. I would appreciate selling out for money more than the lazy, unrealistic writing.**

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

If anyone missed the end credits scene you should go back and watch.

So, who is “the American”?

 

[tcdog70]

So, who is “the American”?

Hopper.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Hopper.

Yes, but Brenner is in Russia too.

 

[maroonmania]

Not sure I can watch Season 3. I still haven't recovered from Rudy being eaten in Season 2.
