Celebrate the holidays with [TV] friends!

Zonugal

Halloween has passed us by and nobody cares about Stranger Things season two anymore. Sorry, its unfortunate but true. Get over it you nerds.

As we gear up for the holiday season let us reflect on some of our favorite TV stories of yesteryear!

Remember all of your favorite Thanksgiving memories with your incredibly white, straight friends???



Or perhaps when it was revamped with your not-as-100% white, straight friends???



All of this will serve simply as a distraction till December 15th, when the greatest television event of our lifetimes will take place:



So let us all gather and talk about our favorite tv shows and such!

BE MERRY OR I'LL BEAT YOU UP!!!

I liked it, but the episode with Every Squad From a Shitty Cyberpunk Novel was dumb.

this isn't an MST3K thread at all

My thoughts on Stranger Things Season 2 are the exact same as my thoughts on Stranger Things Season 1: It's a fun show to watch. One or two things I didn't like but nothing especially bothersome. Won't rank it very highly at the end of the year among all the other stuff I saw. I don't have any nostalgia for its era which maybe why I don't have any particularly extreme reactions to the show.

Hopper and Steve justify Stranger Things 2 existence on their own

Wait are they... doing a Catch-22 tv series

YaYa

I'm about halfway through Stranger Things season two after watching season one last week and I think I finally just have to come to terms with the fact that I don't like it very much

I'll finish season two, but my general reaction to most of that show is a tolerant sigh

This thread is bollocks.

Stranger Things continues to be a show I'm glad existed but hope doesn't last much longer

They said it's got 3 more seasons tops. Hence the spinoff attempt

stranger things 2 was ok. REALLY loved the kid that played will, he was fucking amazing. 11 is dull and the story around her was dull. dustin is an stereotyped bumbling asshole now, get rid of him.

Will's actor is real good at playing someone who's still basically a plot device and not an actual character

He was a pretty full character for

the first half or 3/4 I felt.

And I completely believed him when he freaked out. He was really amazing to watch.

Grey Ghost

I don't know what Will's relationship with the other characters is besides also being in the group
I don't know what he wants in life, I don't know who he has a crush on or what his unique interests are, I can't find any of those details in my mind
He's real good at freaking out though for sure

He's like 11 so I don't think he knows either and that's pretty early for crushes and he's interested in art, he's real good at it.

But I agree they remove him from the storyline way too often.

Wait, is that considered early for crushes?

My first crush on a real human girl was in kindergarten, but even before that I was crushing on TV/movie girls like Alex Mack and uh Ariel

anyway, the show's treatment of Will was a big step up from last year, but I'm gonna need him to never be the victim again, it can be someone else's turn

Or no one's

He's the Healer. You see how the group kind of cracks when he isn't there in season one. Like they're all friends with Will and not as much each other. He also takes on burdens for the group that maybe he shouldn't. Luckily he has some kind of powers that help him do crazy shit and survive.

Wait, starring? He's way too old to play Yossarian.

Grey Ghost

Literally all the other 11 year olds on Stranger Things also have crushes
I'm not saying he has to have one, I'm just pointing out my perception of Will lacking material that fills him out as a character

Shorty

thanksgiving episodes are the best Friends episodes, don't @ me

OmnipotentBagel

I would like to submit for the approval of the thread Bob's Burgers which is a very excellent show that typically does a big holiday episode for Thanksgiving.

Centipede Damascus

honestly I think the biggest problem with Will is that he looks so much like Mike

wait how much do dustin's parents hate him

how many times have they canonically tried to murder him

this is important for an urkel

More of an Urkel in theme not literal adaptation.

Fan favorite that starts to become a cartoon and threatens to sink the show.

Urkel elevates Family Matters.

Dunno why it bills starring (probably because he's technically an antagonist?) but they have him down for Colonel Cathcart, not Yossarian.
