I think they ran an extension cord for the electricity

Loved this season. Def the best since S1. The funny parts were really funny and the scary parts were terrifying. All the kid actors (especially Lucas, Max, and Dustin) blow my mind with their acting chops. I didn't quite understand the Russian plot (Like, I get the "hive mind" aspect but it seemed flimsy) but I still enjoyed it. About the only thing I didn't like was Eddie dying needlessly lol. They kinda did our boy dirty with that one.

At the end of the day the season was entertaining and has me excited for more!

Man, they've got to bring Eddie back for some kind of cameo or something. As like the Force ghost equivalent of whatever the Upside Down version is. Something along those lines. Maybe because he died in the Upside Down, a part of his consciousness still lingers there or something. Either way, I haven't seen this much love for a character in quite a while.

Ya they definitely miscalculated his death. Like they wrote the character TOO well and made the audience care about him TOO much lol. It'd just be bad business at this point not to bring him back in some capacity.

Removed video. Curious why the show runners were being dicks to him.

It wasn't the show runners. It was the people who were running the convention. They wanted him to just sign autographs and move the line along. He was interacting with the fans more than they wanted him to, which just makes him more cool, to me.

I meant the comic-con show runners, my bad. That makes sense. He actually cares about his fans, and they want to move as many bodies through the line as possible.

I know I'm the only one but I'm kind of bummed/annoyed they got a British dude to play the quintessential 80s American metal head.

Someone power tripping to try to fix a mistake on their side. One would think they have a little perspective and not mistreat an individual who is essentially the product they are offering at the event...

IMO, that British dude did a better job at playing an 80s American teenager than the actual American actors.

If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a FLAME-THROWER to this place! Outta order. Who the hell you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know?

"My Dude" was not a vernacular in the 80's; thank god

Thank you.

Also, I know they're dealing with scary stuff but every kid character except the bball player's sister and Steve were constantly on the verge of a max-level sh**-fit. Watch the two scenes of them looking for music to play...pure unintentional comedy gold. Anyway, Argyle somehow eclipsed these freakouts. You can't act like that and then immediately go back to "my dude" mode. He was my least favorite.

He absolutely nailed it and I know a ton of British actors do really good American accents but his was a cut above. I was floored when I found out he was British.

Agreed, he was my least favorite character...other than Mike and Will of course.

He would have been ok, if they sprinkled in some of the stoner stuff. But instead they poured it on and it just became a little annoying. Similar to when people try too hard to be funny.

One thing I haven't heard mentioned: How unceremoniously and quickly Jason was killed when the earth split open.


I really enjoyed that.

I noticed the sword Hopper used to kill the Demigorgon was an exact replica of Conan the Barbarian's. Not sure it had been mentioned.

You are mistaken, that was the sword of Godric Gryffendor, last used by Neville Longbottom to kill Nagini

Lol I was right! Growing up in the 80's Conan the Barbarian was a close second to The Beastmaster as far as cable TV rotation.

Quote:

A sleuth-y fan on Twitter and HITC figured it out, noting that we actually see Enzo open a weapons locker in episode 7, which, yep: includes the sword. And turns out said sword is a very cool Easter egg, in that it's quite literally the Atlantean from the Conan movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And yes, it's the actual sword from Conannot a replica. David Harbour confirmed this himself in an interview with British GQ, saying, "I don't know if you saw this, but that sword I pick upit's the actual prop sword they used in Conan the Barbarian. It's the sword that Schwarzenegger swings in the movie."

Haven't seen it here, but I liked the Lost Boys tribute when they got to the attic. Complete with one of them wearing a beret.
I was thinking more Lea Thompson in Red Dawn when I saw the beret:

The Steve Perry/Journey remix of Separate Ways almost makes me think they wrote this series around that song.

Yep. My wife and I noticed that right away. My least favorite new character. Doesn't seem like "an 80's guy" at all.

Re: Eddie the Hero

I got the impression in that final fight montage that because of the hive mind it took all of them fighting monsters to do damage to vecna. So hopper and murray vs the Demogorgons hurt vecna and so did Eddie vs the bats. Kind of like every incremental damage that helped weaken vecna enough to let eleven and the others do their parts.

Yeah, but the scene comparison in both is the 3 teens going into the monster's lair to kill him while he is vulnerable, and of course it doesn't go as planned. Stranger Things scene was very similar to the cave scene in Lost Boys.

C. Thomas Howell does wear a sweat band around his head in some scenes in Red Dawn which Corey Feldman wears as a Frog brother. So maybe the line of influence is Red Dawn -> Lost Boys -> Stranger Things
