I agree, he looked way too old for his character. To me he looks like a slightly younger Colin Farrell with eye makeup.Billy the step brother seems way too old to be in school. I expected him to be like 30 or something. I mean I know the actor is probably around 30, but I thought the character was that age too.
Excellent, just awesome season. Much better than S1 IMO.
The horror is still there, but not as morbid as S1. The music/soundtrack use is just phenomenal. Those guys did really well as overall music score helps a lot.
All of the new characters work out well. I was sorry tosee one of them eaten up
Chef Hopper, Bob Newby, Eleven and Dr. Owens are best this season for me. Truly hope to see season 3.

Looks like Billy is only 22 IRL (23 this month) but I agree, he looks older than that.
Bob was great. Honestly I thought he was going to turn out to be a bad guy, like a mole into the family or something, because he's a big-name actor, but I really liked where they took his character.
We were cracking up at the part where he's telling Joyce how to connect the camcorder to the TV over the phone...similar scenarios have happened many, many times with my relatives
Literally the only reason she went to find her mom was so she could come back and save the day for the whole gang. It was so obvious that was going to happen once she left her sister and was headed back. And then they had the whole stupid daddy/daughter drama with El and Hopper after their cliche fight. And who didn't know Bob was going to die in some stupid fashion after saving the day?I had no problem with El finding her mom. It's just that finding her mom was a stop in the road to finding Eight, which really didn't do anything for El. I mean... it challenged El to be lenient toward one of her captors, but you normally do something like that with a character that had gone through an arc that specifically related to that culmination. El's previous actions in the season had nothing to do with that. I assume it was a quick and dirty way to show El maturing or whatever.
El was interesting when she would use her powers every now and then and you'd see the blood coming out of her nostril. Now I feel like she just used her power whenever she wanted to, wiped the blood away, then used it once again back to back. The one scene she saves the day, I just wish someone would give her a damn tissue. She was walking around the cabin with a bloody nostril for like 5 minutes.Episode 7 seemed like a mini pilot to spin off 8's character. I don't think it worked
11 is starting to get boring with her powers and turning into a cliche X-woman.
And what was up with the stupid scene where the brother is looking for Max and goes to Mike's house where the mom is taking a bath reading a Fabio book, and it almost turns into a porn? What was the point of that scene? That scene was terrible and felt so out of place and just completely unnecessary.
Finished season 2 last night. This season was pretty MEH overall. They completely tried way too hard this season and just make everything "bigger and badder" and IMO it was just so predictable and cliche. It was also clear that Dustin was the fan favorite last season, and they completely pandered this entire season towards him to make him the focus and give him all of these stupid lines trying to make him funny which got old very quickly. This was solidified at the very end when the last 10-15 minutes of the season focused on the stupid highschool dance and how he changed his hair and how he couldn't get someone to dance with him.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I didn't think season 1 was the greatest show ever like a lot of people did and thought it was a bit overrated, but this season wasn't as good.
I mean I flat out said I wasn't the biggest fan of season 2 and that I liked season 1 but didn't think it was as good as everyone made it out to be, so I'm not even sure what your point is.I think you're just not a fan of Stranger Things. Did you like The Goonies?
That you're probably not a fan of the type of show that ST is. Stuff like the dance and the lines the kid characters say is very much what Stranger Things is about. That was why I asked if you liked The Goonies.I mean I flat out said I wasn't the biggest fan of season 2 and that I liked season 1 but didn't think it was as good as everyone made it out to be, so I'm not even sure what your point is.
Okay if you say so Mister Stranger Things...That you're probably not a fan of the type of show that ST is. Stuff like the dance and the lines the kid characters say is very much what Stranger Things is about. That was why I asked if you liked The Goonies.
Just finished the season. Liked it better than the 1st. But i have a question maybe you nerds can help me with.
In episode 6 when they went to the junk yard with the bus they fortified etc. What movie was that initial scene from when they first came into the yard and then the other kids came down the hill to join them. Before they started fortifying it etc. I could have sworn i've seen that scene from another movie which Stranger Things loves to do.
Any help? Just me?..am i imaging a movie i cant remember from the 80's lol
