What did they do to 11's character? I liked how she'd grown more 'normal'; living with Hopper, wanting to find her mom; going to the Snow Ball.
Her trip to find "8" was a bit of a sidetrack, though...

I finished it up last night. While I enjoyed it, it wasn't as good for me as S1. I binged S1. Didn't feel the need to do that with S2 as I watched it over a week's time. My favorite has always been Dustin from the get go. "Son of a bitch" :lol:
Spoiler: 11-02-2017 08:30 AMWeDealInLeadI'm a strong supporter of Team Steve. There's nothing wrong with Jonathan remaining essentially the same person; it's only been a year since the events in S1. That said, Steve is a much more interesting character and watching him change from a jock bro to a decent human being was neat.
Episode 7 was non-essential unless it was a set-up for season 3. I'd prefer a spin-off or even a dead end/unresolved plot line. Call it a misstep and move on, you know? Hopefully season 3 will stay in Hawkins. There's already one Orphan Black, no need to muddy things up with more characters. 11-02-2017 08:47 AMBrian861 11-04-2017 11:00 AMGirlystevedaveI watched episodes 1-4 of season 2 last night. Why is this show so incredible?!
A few thoughts:

Spoiler: 11-05-2017 10:56 AMladysai 11-06-2017 05:55 PMStill ServantI've heard a few mixed feelings about season 2, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the season from start to finish. It wasn't as good as season 1, but that's to be expected. Whenever you have something so new and fresh, it's going to always hold a special place in my heart. At least that's how I feel.
I think the show does an amazing job at building characters. Almost every character is strong. I truly feel for everyone of the core characters and don't want anything to happen to them. I can't wait to see where they go with season 3. One of my only complaints is the fact that we aren't seeing anybody else in the town deal with what is going on. Not only is it unrealistic, I mean these Demi Dogs are running around the entire town at one point, someone should see them, but they also missed an opportunity for some Gremlins style comedy.
I had no problem with where they went with 11. We have to remember that 11 has been so sheltered. She's like a child. What we saw this season was a young adult rebelling. I do agree that the episode outside of Hawkins wasn't very strong and the show should just stick to Hawkins.
:cry: I don't hate it, it's just not essential to my Halloween viewing like it is for other people. 11-07-2017 12:02 PMMerlin1958 11-08-2017 12:54 PMCRinVA8 Did teach 11 how to channel her strength! I'm just glad 11 decided that her friends were more important! 11-08-2017 05:50 PMBrian861 11-09-2017 08:34 AMAndiI was super freaked out to find out that Billy was the Red Power Ranger... lol
But anyway, lots of thoughts! I should throw them into a spoiler thingy because I don't wanna ruin anything for anyone!

Very true indeed on personal preferences. And I had forgot all that stuff about Jonathan. Very valid points! 11-09-2017 10:31 AMAndiThank you sir! Trust me, with as soft spoken as Jonathan is, it's very hard to see past his...docile is maybe the best word I can think of...nature.
I think the thing that really sold me on him wasSpoiler: 11-09-2017 11:08 AMGirlystevedaveI've only got two episodes left to watch on Season 2. Fuuuuuuuck. Why is this show so damn good? 11-09-2017 09:20 PMJonYes..GSD..I watched it too fast...like a man with sex!
