Cheers. I"ll try it
Oh.. Also.. Start on SEASON 1, Episode 1.
it's a great show, my 12 year old has some trouble sleeping after it, but not my 14 year old :lol:
I like it. Very nostalgic, except I can't fully relate to the small american town vibe.
I'm up to the part where they look up microfiches in the library on the dodgy company. I can't believe that was how the world once was, only one generation ago.
Is that 11? She looks 40...
And I avoided the thread for no reason because there's no discussion of the season in here at all :facepalm:
Sorry, I haven't gotten through it yet. I've been kind of apathetic towards watching TV as of late. I still have the last two episodes of TWD and The Gifted to watch.
I can't help it. I just get sick of TV sometimes. And oddly enough, I just bought a bigger one....
I wasn't a huge fan of the first season or this one. Entertaining yes, but if 11 opens these gates and closes them, I see a way to stop the insanity :lol:
I think the 80's premise hooks people, yet it doesn't use the premise throughout. For example I played D&D, the kids keep referring to rules of the party and you don't ever see them playing it again. Some of the music was good...but if you compare seasons 1 and 2, season 2 didn't tell us anything more about the Upside Down or really expand the universe.
There was a lot of complaining about episode 7 during season 2 (where 11 went on a road trip and met the Scooby death-gang) because it killed the momentum of the main story, set a completely different tone using kids to kill off random people they felt deserved punishment whether they were guilty or not. I agree with a lot of this and while I think meeting other kids from the program would be cool, they handled it in such an obscure way it felt like a distraction.
