finished Stranger Things,
Spoilers ahead
da de da
wondering when the cut will strike
here we go
this must be enough surely…
…felt a little dissatisfied with the nostalgic approach, but that the incompleteness of explanation was reasonable. Still I wanted to know how our intrepid waifs got back out of the upside down, because that would probably tell me right there if the gate remained open. Which evidently it does, obscure but certain.
It did, however, remind me of a thought I’ve had before with CoC:
isn’t it weird how vulnerable we animals are to bullets? Like our whole bodies are rapid networks and interrupting any bit of us endangers the whole thing. Compare plants, or The Demogorgon. There’s really no good reason for other things to be similarly vulnerable, but we’re just that used to being the top predator.
I probably don’t want to bother with the inevitable second season unless they do something different. Although I will watch just about anything with those kids in it. Maybe doing bank heists.
Tattered Remains of Tartary 
Eleven in particular I think could have a great career as a galactic princess (per Stuart Robertson)

My prediction is: some sort of infestation from the other side, maybe in the form of body snatchers or mind control; more teen love triangle shenanigans; hopper is the only one that the govt has who knows about the other side now so is compromised in some way. Will may be hiding things out of consideration for his family or out of some more nefarious reasoning. More gates show up

I felt pretty much the same. Also, no karate kid reference? Weak. The kids were great. I will watch the second season because as far as dissatisfying tv goes it still wasn’t a bad way to pass a few hours.

Oh man I loved it so much. I liked that it was this amalgam of so many things. It’s like the parents are in one show, the teens in one show, and the kids in one show, but somehow it doesn’t feel incongruous even though those three storylines feel quite different.
