Stranger Things is back for season 2. Here are some thoughts I had while watching the first episode. Warning! Spoilers ahead.
51 thoughts I had while watching Stranger Things 2: ‘Madmax’.
1. Pittsburgh, PA. October 28, 1984. Pittsburgh? Ain’t we s’posed be in Hawkins, Indiana?
2. Ah, a heist. When’s the Joker appearing?
3. So much ’80s hair.
4. Oh snap, Eleven’s not the only one with telekinesis. Flip that car!
5. Eight! That means they need to find one-10. Is there a 12?
6. Dustin’s mom calls him Dusty, and I love it.
7. Dusty upgraded to a headset.
8. Love the soundtrack. Whip it! Whip it real good!
9. Ah, the sweet sexism of ’80s video games. The Princess of Dragon’s Lair is a blonde Betty Boop.
10. Mike: “I am not prostituting my sister!” First of all, you have no power over Nancy.
11. Will has visions of the upside down. Never a good sign.
12. No, Mike. Will is not okay.
13. OMG, The Terminator is playing at the movie theater. Eleven gonna come back and say, “Come with me if you want to live.”
14. Hopper!
15. They think the Russians took Barb. Is Stranger Things just a huge allegory for our current political system?
16. Jean Ralphio’s little brother still got the hair. Or is it big brother? I need help understanding this universe.
17. As someone who took a job because it had insurance and benefits, I totally getcha, Steve.
18. Big California boy with fancy car coming in to shake up town. And he smokes. So you know he’s a keeper.
19. New girl in class. Hawkins boys are like, “What is this feeling in my pants?”
20. Samwise Gamgee isn’t a big fan of orange. And now he’s kissing Winona Ryder.
21. Goonie Sean Astin coming full circle as the adult in this.
22. “Electronic thing-a-ma-jiggies” is so a euphemism, Joyce.
23. Rotten pumpkins. A metaphor if I ever saw one.
24. Why are cornfields inherently scary?
25. “Come and get sheet-faced.” What a pun. Did you learn that in high school?
26. When are Nancy and Jonathan going to realize they luuurrrve each other?
27. Jonathan reads Vonnegut. What a babe.
28. Nancy mackin’ with Steve in the hallway. So high school.
29. Can’t wait for Max to prove girls can skate, play video games, and get top score. Girl power!
30. Yeah, Will is dealing with some serious trauma.
31. Oh no they’re at the government place!
32. Docs called Hop dad. Swoon.
33. Impending doom introduced.
34. Mr. Doctor, I don’t believe for one second those people are gone and you’re on their side.
35. Am I wrong or did Hop and Joyce just insinuate they had a hot thing that went cold?
36. Doc’s wearing a red shirt. Calling it now.
37. Dusty, Max might be able to resist those pearls, but we fell in love with those babies from episode one of season one.
38. You’d think Mike’s dad would be able to see his son for who he really is with those huge glasses.
39. Oh, baby Barb is so precious and heartbreaking.
40. Classy KFC meal. Product placement achieved.
41. Eleven is Jack. Mike is Rose. And Mike will never let go. But he’d probably find a way to fit Eleven on the piece of wood.
42. Dude, a cat does not sound like a cross between a tribble and velociraptor.
43. David Bowie vs. Kenny Rogers. Hah!
44. Joyce, you and I both know that’s not a prank call.
45. Will, get away from the door. Get away from the door!
46. Why aren’t you getting away from the door, Will?
47. Ew, big spider thing! Gross!
48. Hopper knows where the trip wire is. Methinks he’s visiting the one who loves waffles.
49. OMG there’s an Eggo on a plate. I was just kidding, but it’s for real.
50. OMG Eleven’s wearing overalls and has curly hair. She looks like Mike.
51. Look at El and Hop eating their TV dinners. What a domestic life.
