watched both seasons over the last few days, series 1 obviously excellent that goes without saying, although one thing that bothered me is how they didn’t explain how Joyce, Hopper and Will got out of the upside down?
Thought the storyline this series was a bit of a mess though and the shadow monster wasn’t ever fully explained (I guess he’s the boss of the upside down?) apart from the dungeons and dragons analogy..
Saying that, part of the fun for me was not really having a clue what was going on and focusing on th characters. Hopper has already gone to the top of my favourite characters in a show...
Kinda was disappointed Eleven wasn’t with the others all season, and how irrelevant she was throughout a lot of it
Couldn’t give less of a **** about Barb and that arc, they should have left it out.
Started off thinking Steve was one of the worst most boring characters but by episode 9 he’s probably one of the best tbh. As Locke says, his character development is unreal
Loved Bob, was a bit annoyed because that was a spoiler I saw Just before I started season two but thankfully it didn’t seem to be a massive part of the story. It’s a bit weird how pretty much all of the main characters never get killed off but this isn’t GOT where they have to work off a source material. If it wasn’t for GRR Martin I doubt the writers would kill anyone off anymore
The Snow Ball finale was perfect, Dustin is great. I don’t think we can really take much from that last bit with the upside down tbh, think it was just there to show us the upside down will never go away, not that the gate is going to open again. I wonder what happened to the Demodog Dustin and Steve put in the fridge, if somehow it could have kept the gate open or the fridge itself kept it alive despite the gate being closed?
As for episode 7, I was expecting a lot worse from the reaction it got, spent the whole episode thinking El was going to die. It was a pretty rubbish episode though and the actress who played 008 wasn’t a great actress. But again as Locke says it was needed for the finale.
They could quite easily end this show now and although disappointed I’d be fine with it, they’re definitely gonna bleed it dry though sadly
