It felt like a really good X-Files episode where Moulder and Scully never show up, but luckily local law enforcement happens to be competent. And all them kids were good actors. Germstore posted:I'm glad the hottie got with the cool rear end Tunnel Snakes guy instead of the goonie weirdo. Giving that character an actual arc and bending it toward creating empathy was a very good choice by the writers. The goony older brother being a bit of a skeez was also a good choice by the to keep him from becoming a lovely mary-sue

Pawn 17 posted:It started off a little *meh* but picked up steam really quickly to the point I couldn't stop watching. Hope we get a season 2! She played horribly frazzled mom on the verge of losing it super close to reality. I think she did a very good job with the character. Not as good as the scummy absentee father though, that guy hit every single note

ROFLburger posted:ya okay great but whats the story about for the other 459 minutes whats the conflict? The interpersonal stress that this brings, especially when Mike has to come to terms with the object of his affections being a major part of the problem or when Will's mom has to deal with the fact that her son came back different than what she lost The whole things is ripe with drama just waiting in the wings in a sensible and logical flow. Hell, they can even throw in some good John Hughes drama/self discovery with Nancy, John and the other kids at the high school and then put that on it's head by spinning some Carpenter in to it

City of Tampa posted:I hope that Will gradually gains control of his ability to switch between dimensions but then realizes that he's also slowly transforming into a Demigorgon. The theory that Ele is the demogorgon, as it is a reflection of her anger/rage from the upsidedown made manifest would play really well with this. Have Will's demo mutilate his scumbag father and watch him try to cope with what happened, but the grief and shame just make it more powerful and more blood thirsty

Also I am pumped for the RLM guys to be reviewing it soon. I'm almost certain that this is the first time a (not on)TV show has made them feel the desire to review it.

im gay posted:why did hopper tell the CIA where the kids were Maybe because he was desperate. Maybe because he figured the kids were crafty enough to get away, maybe because he saw what Ele could do and realized they most likely weren't a real threat to her or maybe because he figured they could actually protect the kids from tulip face

Monomythian posted:I don't like how different the last episode was tonely compared to the rest of the season, the monster uncharactistically just threw itself at groups of people, I suppose they wanted to go out on more of a bang. It was an injured and angry animal protecting it's home or its the mental anguish of Elle projected as a physical being. Either way, makes sense it would lash out the way it did when it did

Moridin920 posted:I just mean like the town's response was basically nonexistent, a week after Will just disappeared. For a small town in the 80s that seems odd is all. They did a candle light vigil at the school and had lots of volunteers looking for Will. They claimed Barb had just run away and faked some evidence

Like I don't even remember her parents really being upset or anything? I wasn't arguing against you, I was presenting evidence that they tried to use to hand wave it but still showed disparity as you had stated
