Stranger Things (Netflix)

I just googled Robin and what the hell - Uma Thurman is her Mum ?

and yeah Ethan Hawke is her Dad <shrug> ...

I have learned today.
 
Maya Hawke is good for googling.



It seems like a big retcon for it now to have been One who shaped the Upside Down. The Mind Flayer seems to have just been some naturally occurring living cloud thing before One influenced it?
 
I thought for sure that Vicki was played by Maya Hawke, but it is Amybeth McNulty.

Argyle (Surfer Pizza Guy) became my favorite character.
 
I know. I thought Maya was playing both characters.
 
That would be quite masturbatory considering they have the hots for each other!

It was a wierd "Parent Trap" Hayley Mills moment in my head
 


*insert Old Lady From Titanic here*
 


Millie Bobby Brown is now a grandmother but it's finally coming out.
 
Stranger Things season 5: So Very Tired - Haven't finished the second episode yet because they're so long. It's not that ti's bad, or anything: it's still a very well made tv show. But why are they still doing the same shit they've been doing for five seasons? It's the final season, shouldn't the characters have evolved a bit by now (apart from the obvious thing where you have a 15 year old who looks 25.) Why are they STILL dealing with school bullies? Why are Steve and Jonathan STILL competiing over Nancy (I mean, she's hot, but grow up, lads!)

I barely remembered Holly existed before, wasn't she like a baby last season? And now she's looks about 12 but I think is meant to be younger? I guess they needed another kid to be targetted by the monsters...even though they've done that loads of times already.
 
Watched half of first episode before concluding I... don't really care anymore? Hmmm. I liked the show well enough, particularly the first couple of seasons. Nearly 4 years between seasons certainly hasn't helped.

I'll try and finish the first episode at least.
 
They're all 40 now and they still won't let the 2 gay boys get together and BOO SCARY MONSTER and David won't leave Millie alone and as you can tell I stopped watching a long time ago

Haha yeah, I thought as much in the bit of the first episode I watched when those dweeby bullies were giving Dustin (who has aged out far too much for my liking) a hard time over Hellfire. I believe these were the same ones that 11 took to with her telekinesis in S1? Anyway, these lads are demon / monster-slaying veterans by now.
 
Third and fourth episode was better and didn't drag as much despite the runtimes. I enjoyed the Home Alone bit with the monster (never learned its name) and Eric being a psycho. Max is finally back as a coma ghost. Fourth episode had a lot of action and a strong ending. Only problem is that Noah Schnapp is by far the worst of the "kid" actors and he's now the most important character...

(I was going to say that about Schnapp on TrekBBS but predicted I'd get a lot of "HOW DARE YOU BE NASTY ABOUT SOMEONE'S ACTING" responses so didn't bother.)
 
Do you think people take baths with blindfolds now, trying to find their friends, or is that just me?
