My life is a barrel o' fun!!
I love this show. However, I kind of think that the monster should have been more ethereal, like the smoke monster from lost. The shadow world should have been the same. (IE: you can't really make it out, it is a jumble of shadows) ...but wait, that's not what the show was going for. It was going for retro monster movie style action and b movie sci fi poo poo and nailed it perfectly. I have no complaints.

Basically letting Hopper live while killing Benny for no reason just doesn't make sense to me.

I thought it was weird as well but if you think a bit about it Benny was a burger dude and his loss could be written off as a robbery gone wrong where as Hop is the Sheriff. Lots more questions if he disappeared or wound up dead. At least that's how I resolved it in my head.

Great show!

What are the Demogorgon's D&D stats?

Impervious to bullets, melee attacks cause regular damage

Leaves blood trails in multiple planes of existence




Do those cars in the upside down move around when people in the real world drive them places?

I saw #justiceforbarb and #iambarb trending on twitter. Almost every article starts by describing Barb as "Normal-Sized" lol.

Does it really have to be said? Just because she's tall she is also fat?


Dustin is a decent 1980's fat kid, though. Like I watch The Goonies in 2016 and I'm like "Chunk isn't that fat." But 30 years ago he was fat as hell.





edit- What was up with the Demogorgon? Was it just a minion for the realm? Barb didn't look that eaten, and Will was put into storage. Is the Demogorgon saving food for later? Or is it just bringing stuff in to feed the slugs? Or is it just a dick and takes one bite and wastes the rest?

I dunno, she got pretty anxious when her family started arguing, and she was all :stare: when the monster almost came through the wall in the Byers house.

I haven't read through the thread because I haven't watched the last two episodes yet so this may well have been mentioned already, but has this show reminded anyone else of the film Altered States? It touches on similar themes of course with the implied pharmacological experimentation that produced Eleven and the flotation tanks, but what triggered my frankly traumatic childhood memory of watching Altered States on top of the aforementioned themes set in the 80's was the glowing red in Stranger Things in the titles - it reminded me of the final scene in Altered States where one of the characters seems to have the same shade of red erupting from her body like cracks in lava which frankly terrified me as a child.

yep
