Awesome cliffhanger ending I wasn’t expecting. I have a very bad feeling about Steve for some reason. Feels like they might kill him off.

We were all teary-eyed at that scene.

When that episode ended, I looked at my daughter and said, "I think I forgot to breathe for the last 10 minutes" and she said, "Me, too". Fantastic episode and music selection.

I’m probably in a minority here, but I find the season (so far) to be “meh” at best. While the premise around Vecna is interesting, I feel like the season is significantly weighed down by too many plot lines and too many characters who are in too many places at once. Furthermore, the actors’ ages make the season’s timeline visually hard to accept (why not just set the season in 1988?). Maybe the last couple of episodes will be better.

I loved that Utah scene. I felt transported back to the 80s in that house and the clunky computers. great scene.

I’m loving watching this with my teenagers. My thoughts:

Yeah it’s not the best plot but there are several story lines and it’s keeps switching it up. Also the acting for most people is decent.

Steve is kinda hot in that Adam Driver, I don’t know why but he’s hot kind of way.

Matthew Modine really looks old and I feel old looking at him because I remember when he was young and hot.

My one quibble: there’s no way a girl who lives in a trailer park could afford a Sony Walkman in 1986! But I guess it’s hard to have the music plot point without it. I remember pining for one but it was over $100, which was even more money back then.

Watching from beginning. Billy looks so much like Rob Lowe in St. Elmo’s Fire who played a character named Billy!

Loved this season. Good mix of plot lines and scenery.

Horrific as well.

Fantastic acting.

More 1980s, more music, more gore, but all ties together and the flashbacks make it seem like it was the plan all along (but was not).

Best season since season 1. Love the four story lines in parallel. Can’t wait for final two episodes in July.

I could feel the emotion coming through the screen and that view of her looking out toward her friends with the song in the background. gives me chills. She is a great actress. hope to see her in more things to come. My teen is now watching season 1 and keeps asking me questions and i realized how much i have forgotten from the first season, which seems like ages ago. may have to go back and rewatch it with her.

Back when Steve was a jerk. I had forgotten all about that.

Forgot that too! And speaking of Steve, how did he suddenly become hotter in the upside down? Never found him attractive at all, then he ends up in the upside down and hello. he's pretty muscular under those dopy outfits they always have him.
also, kudos to ethan hawke and uma thurman b/c their daughter is a pretty darn good actress. she was great last season and even better this one.

He is 30! Full man there saw oogle him all you want.

It’s really very Nightmare on Elm Street.
