Peter Rubin: Whoa whoa whoa whoa, yРІР‚в„ўall, we havenРІР‚в„ўt even gotten to the end of the I Love the РІР‚в„ў80s party. Anyway, IРІР‚в„ўll be starting a MBB Stan Club shortly after we publish this story-join me! She also gets a super-cool makeover-I spent most of Sunday wondering if I could find the right blazer to pull off her New Wave look in time for Halloween. On a show where most of the kids just go from being scared to being heroes, she gets a much better character arc. (Side note: Did anyone else catch that Thomas Tull cameo? Moreover, can anyone explain it? IРІР‚в„ўm sure thereРІР‚в„ўs something IРІР‚в„ўm missing.) The whole thing gave me a lot of Orphan Black vibes, which I really appreciated. For me, ST2 didnРІР‚в„ўt click until it shifted focus to her search for РІР‚СљMamaРІР‚Сњ and journey to Chicago to find her sister and her sisterРІР‚в„ўs punk-anarchist friends. Easily my favorite part of Stranger Things is the fact that its savior is a smart, strong girl, but Eleven/Jane as a character is wonderful to watch because of Brown. Speaking of which, I do have to give one very specific high-five to Millie Bobby Brown. One of the showРІР‚в„ўs underlying themes has always been celebrating outsiders and the strength that comes when they stick together, and this season felt like it was, in these small instances, trying to tie that into the cultural-political divides that were surfacing in the РІР‚В80s. IРІР‚в„ўve always thought of Stranger Things as a relatively apolitical show, but I donРІР‚в„ўt think itРІР‚в„ўs an accident that Season 2 made a point of showing РІР‚СљReagan Bush РІР‚В84РІР‚Сњ signs in peopleРІР‚в„ўs yards and having moments like this.

When I saw BillyРІР‚в„ўs dad say that and then rough up his own kid, my takeaway was that whatever bigoted views Billy might have, they likely came from his father. And the second part of its one-two punch landed for me in Episode 8 when BillyРІР‚в„ўs dad confronts him about РІР‚Сљstaring at yourself in the mirror like some faggot instead of watching your sister.РІР‚Сњ It seemed like Stranger ThingsРІР‚в„ў attempt at showing the cycle of bullying. Watercutter: IРІР‚в„ўm glad you brought that up, Jason. Were there any scenes or moments that caught you off guard? The scene startled me for its bluntness, but also because it seemed to carry so much weight concerning its social politics-that sometimes monsters are hiding in plain sight.

Maybe MaxРІР‚в„ўs brother does genuinely care for her, and the only way he knows how to show her is through intimidation and fear, a kind of survival tactic. And something you learn is there are certain type of people in this world that you stay away from РІР‚В¦ and that kid is one of them.РІР‚Сњ It feels like the seriesРІР‚в„ў first real out-and-out moment of racial friction, but itРІР‚в„ўs also not especially blatant in the way, say, a Trump presidency has unmasked the flag-waving xenophobes among us. РІР‚СљThis is serious shit,РІР‚Сњ he says, forcibly holding her in place. ItРІР‚в„ўs toward the end of Episode 4, when, after an argument with Lucas about feeling alienated from the group, Max (Sadie Sink) is given an earful from her step brother, Billy. There is one particular scene I keep playing in my head, though. What about you guys? What did you like, dislike, and pick up on in Stranger Things 2? Some even think thereРІР‚в„ўs a touch of Top Gun, but thatРІР‚в„ўs a stretch.

(And whenever she goes into that all-black space to communicate with people I always want it to be a nod to that Scarlett Johansson movie Under the Skin, but I donРІР‚в„ўt think it is.) ThereРІР‚в„ўs a bit of Alien in there, too, and Ghostbusters is referenced directly.

This time around I caught some Poltergeist allusions thanks to ElevenРІР‚в„ўs (Millie Bobby Brown) use of the TV as a psychic communication device. The first time around it was very Stephen King, very Steven Spielberg-basically it had a nod to anyone named Steve. What can I say, those opening credits still give me chills.Р”В«ut first of all, letРІР‚в„ўs talk about the references in Season 2. That said, Stranger Things is now just one of those shows where I kinda like hanging out with these people, so I wasnРІР‚в„ўt annoyed to be visiting again. It kinda felt like it followed the same arc as the first season, but without the thrill of discovery that first season had. Angela Watercutter: First things first I enjoyed Stranger Things 2, but I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt say I loved it.
