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.

    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.

    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

    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 GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    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.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    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

    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.

    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.

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