    ...nope, can't even see it that way. I really felt it added to the story and expanded the universe of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I'm 2 eps into S2 , gotta say - the parents in this show really get on my nerves , not sure why , it'd be better if we were just with the kids' pov .

    Agreed.

    Additionally, I don't think the episode paid off the way most people thought or wanted to and therefore a let down of emotions of sorts.

    Chapter 7 reminded me of the movie Chappie and the TV series Dark Angel.

    I think its when they cut to scenes featuring just the parents , it then just becomes like a soap opera ..

    On Episode 8 of Stranger Things 2 and, just in case one didn't notice, one probable reason they cast Paul Reiser izzat it totally becomes Aliens (which is freakin' awesome). Seriously, at the moment they talk about "The West Stairwell" the soundtrack even includes the iconic tracker "ping" from Aliens. I ain't even kidding.

    The most meta thing I've seen in the Stranger Things series is when Mad Max sez the story is good but is kind of derivative and could use some more originality. Great flat-out nod to Reference Nerds like me. Like this particular episode is Aliens at the start (complete with Paul Reiser) and Evil Dead with Will at the end. Which is totally awesome! But I can see the seams. Because I'm a huge nerd. But like the best reference mash-up template ala Star Wars or Tarantino movies, it combines them in unique ways.

    Anyway, Paul Reiser needs to be in more things with monsters is the main point I'm getting at.

    "It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call." "Bad call? These people are DEAD Burke!!!"

    I finished the second season. It was good. I have one criticism.


    Why were there high schoolers chaperoning a middle school dance? Is this a small town thing? Weird.

    I personally really enjoyed the lost sister episode gave room for more characters to come in the future, and because its one more episode also it had some star wars vibes to it imo which I saw more than the x-men and also it tied into elevens story really nice have no idea why people had a problem with it.

    What's the Status of Charlie Heaton I heard he was caught at a US Airport with Cocaine and might not be able to re enter the country not even to film? has he re entered the country for talk shows appearances or Saturday Night Live since the incident? and will this be a problem when filming season 3 in Atlanta? have they started filming season 3 already and is this all a moot point?

    Charlie Heaton's scenes will be cut and replaced with more scenes of Lucas's sister Erica and maybe one or two more scenes of their parents.

    Yea I pretty much figured that just making sure. But I am pretty sure I have seen Charlie Heaton on American Talk Shows and Or Saturday Night Live recently as In after he tried to bring the cocaine into the country which means he is probably allowed to come back into our country to Film Stranger Things. I would think If they haven't already started filming season 3 they will start soon.

    I haven't see him on Saturday Night Live at all, but a Google search told me that he wasn't arrested so if he wasn't charged then he isn't in trouble.

    Well I saw him on some talk show not sure which one,
    all these funny videos,

    or

    they all are from talk shows I believe the Original story on his arrest was in the Trade papers, Like Varity or Hollywood Reporter I guess you cant believe everything you read In the Paper Trade Papers are not much better then Tabloids...

    Well I got to the end but I can't say I was very impressed with this , Winona Ryder was very annoying , Eleven's sulking got tiresome , yeah there were lots of references and 'homages' but so what .
