You're not alone, I loved that episode and 8. I thought it brought out a new dimension to 11 and the story.

Well I won't be able finish the show for at least 5 months.
Enjoy the show everyone.
Darts eating the cat brought up some serious past trauma regarding my own cat.
Enjoy the show everyone.

I think it's a different species or variety. The Demogorgon in S1 didn't have a tail.
I guess they're rotating which kid acts like an asshole each season.
Your cat was eaten by a demon from another world you took home? :D
Damn thats harsh. Kinda unusual for a dog, isn't it? What did you do with the dog, if you don't mind the question.
The dog had aggressive tendencies due to his breed, but it was usually towards other dogs. It was so shocking.
The dog is no longer around, he died just 4 months later.
I get a young Sigorney Weaver vibe myself, weird that we're all seeing so many different people in her lol.
What I didn't like about the whole Mews thing is that they kinda treated Dustin's mother like some joke character
Yeah, that grated. Same with the other mom who was characterized like an idiot bimbo.
Just finished watching Season 2 and I quite liked it. Now on to watch Beyond Stranger Things...
Few thoughts about second season
-Does Wivona Ryder age at all ? Still such a pretty face
-Cannot wait to see David Harbour as Hellboy
-Nightwing step brother and Nancys mom. What will happen next?
-Nancy's dad deserves a good smackdown
-Mad Max is such a cool and pretty character
-Samwise Gamgee added so much to the series
Most importantly I travelled back in time to the Snow Ball, being refused by girls at dance and all

How is she an idiot Bimbo (if you are referring to Mike's mom)?
S1, she was trying to be helpful to her kids, was a decent friend to Joyce and pretty much does everything while Ted (the husband) is stuck in his own world(S1 + S2).
Some hot guy shows up at her door in the middle of the night resembling the main character on the cover of the book she escapes into, why wouldn't she be overly friendly, especially when it involves someone looking for their sister.
And its not like she had time to get fully dressed coming straight out of the tub.
Other than being able to tell they were attracted to each other, the majority of the conversation was about finding the kids (sprinkled with some flattery; most of the compliments coming from Billy, not her).
If the gender roles were reversed I guess we would be calling the girl the bimbo and not the father.

Given the nature of the show, doesn't that kind of play perfectly into some of the 80s tropes?
Only thing I didn't like about the Mrs. Wheeler/Billy scene is the actor who plays Billy looks way too old to play a 17-yo character.
I know you're talking about looks, but funnily enough the other two actors are older than him (he's 22, Jonathan's is 23 and Steve's is 25).
Agree with this. Particularly Ep.7. That whole thing was integrated poorly, first scene of the season and then wrapped up in its own episode 2/3rds later in the season.
Also I feel the Jonathan/Nancy/Steve love triangle shouldn't have been resolved so early,
Now the main cast is growing, I wonder who's going to be expendable going forward, or if they'll keep killing off the more typically expendable (i.e. don't last a season) cast.

Just finished season 2. I don't get the hate for episode 7. Sure there were pacing issues, but it wasn't horrible.
yeah that part pissed me off because Dustin barely gave a shit. fuck him.
Wait, people didn't like this season? Damn, I loved it. Way more than S1.
Only gripes were E07 and Billy, wasted character. Kept hearing things like how good a villain he would be and he wasn't even near jackass S1 Steve.
Talking about Steve, damn what a character. From the asshole in S1 to this, goddamn. Favorite character in the show right now. Steve x Dustin OTP.
EDIT: Almost forgot,

that racism plotline was also wasted, they could've gone a lot further than that.
But there were much graver things at stake...

I don't remember Steve being that big of an asshole in S1, more like guy in the wrong friend group.
huh, is that the new way to write spoilers? never saw that before
I have less of a problem with the episode itself and more so that it came at the worst possible time in the season. You don't end an episode like they did with 6 and then make you wait an entire episode to see what happens to literally all of the characters you care about so they can introduce a bunch of new ones who were relatively uninteresting. It took long enough to get things going in S2 and then episode 7 came around and killed the momentum it had just started to gain.
Yes, yes you do. Pretty standard storytelling move, and I enjoyed the switch-up. El definitely grew up a lot in the past year, faster than the boys, and this was her chance to try out some more adult behaviors.
Na, you don't. Its why almost everyone took issue with episode 7 and so much discussion around it has been around killing the pacing of the show. It was an awful decision to put that episode there.
I'm still getting used to things...I honestly don't see spoilers.
yeah i'm still getting used to it too. but almost 50 pages in is it still not okay to post spoilers?
Really enjoyed this season. I'd say it was stronger than the the first.
Steve and Dustin hanging together were the best parts of the season. Need more of that next year.

Whoa. Guess I'll be picking up that one instead of the Blu-Ray/DVD one.
Finally got around to finishing this tonight. That it took me so long says a lot about the quality of the season, I guess. Steve Harrington continues to be an absolute treasure and the guy has amazing chemistry with every character he interacts with, but damn if the rest of this season was okay at best and largely unimpressive. Curious to see what they do with a third season but I'm not really waiting in excitement like I did after the first season.
Aimed at nobody in particular, but I'm not quoting posts just to see spoilers. Use the actual spoiler tags people!
Somebody posted last week to say it was open season for spoilers after two weeks, but I don't know if it was an official approval. Personally I assume all OT's are going to be full of spoilers and just don't read them until I'm clear.
Finished it too, pacing wasn't as good/intense as season 1, and I understand the gripes with ep7 as it felt like filler (likely just setting up for season 3).
Awesome show tho, actors really help make it.
