Stranger Things (Netflix)

[Cheesebeef]

Okay… they finally sucked me in a bit by the end of episode 3.

 

[Covert Rain]

First two were a bit slow but 3 was a jab and 4 was great hook.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Finished four… think I just don’t care enough about the show anymore to get hyped by what should be the big moments.

Just watch episode 4 and come back with your analysis.

Was going to say the same thing. Ep 4 hooked me right back in. Won't spoil it but I was fairly certain I had a few things figured out and I did on some but on a couple of big ones what happened caught me off guard and in a good way.

One thing with the Duffer Brothers, they REALLY know how to make an Episode 4.

 

[oaken1]

Yes. At least in Fort Worth.

Good thing Ft Worth never crosses my mind.....

There’s too much of Holly, ******* Darryl (or whatever his name is) and Vecna’s world which just ain’t hitting for me at all every time they go there.

When they are trying to do big, dramatic conversations in ep 6 and 7, they drag out waaaaaaaaay too long.

I’m bumping more on Maya Hawke suddenly having a great plan every time the moment calls for it, pulling it seemingly out of thin air. I dug the intro of her character a lot in Season 3 and 4 and her relationship with Steve, but she ain’t hitting for me this year.

They’re also doing the REALLY annoying thing with dialogue that is increasing on so many Netflix shows (and is happening on purpose per notes from the streamer) which is repeatedly restating the obvious so people having second screen experiences can catch up if they were looking at the phones earlier.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I’ll give it this much… they spared no expense and are leaving it all on the field with what they’ve spent on the season. FX are pretty insane leading up to the finale.

Damn, I didn't know that. I hate that. Good call on Maya Hawke. I'll give them that they have her doing well advising will on his sexuality.

 

[Russ Smith]

Did 2 of the 3 new episodes last night I like it. I like Max she's probably my favorite character I like the arc of her from beginning to now.

The scene in the laundry area with the Demos stalking them is an homage to the original Jurassic Park when the Raptors are stalking the kids in the kitchen I thought that was kind of cool

We were talking about the show at our Xmas dinner was kind of cool we had a 13 year old 2 early 30 year olds and me at 60 all discussing the show found it interesting that it appeals to so many different age groups. Will watch again tonight and then the finale.

Yeah… that’s her saving grace this season.

 

[Russ Smith]

Episode 7 is really good too

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

A lot of useless dialogue, but overall, it's been entertaining.

 

[oaken1]

y'all are trippin.
every episode this season has been great.
useless dialogue....
I forget sometimes most of you only read picture books.


something I did find funny though.....after one such monologue they "Hung a lantern on it"...I think thats the phrase....they took a moment to point out they were aware they were talking a lot. kinda made me snicker just a bit.

one of my D&D buddies complained because they retconned some things from earlier in the series.... I'm like..."dude...do you even D&D??" it makes the show fit even more snuggly into the culture...retcons happen in D&D all the damned time,...nearly every session for our group...the fact that the show runners did it with the show is hilarious and quite brilliant.

and its not "a heavy dialogue episode"...it is in fact, " a heavy RP session"
its not always about the combat fellas!

They've been really bad with this this season. They're not just repeating things once which is bad enough but they're doing it 3 or 4 times minimum on everything. I really wish Netflix would get rid of this directive. It's hurting their shows. This type of thing must drive you nuts as a writer too.

It's not that dialogue is useless it's that repeating the same dialog multiple times is useless. It's that repeating the same dialog multiple times is useless. It's that repeating the same dialog multiple times is useless. It's that repeating the same dialog multiple times is useless. Every one of these episodes could have been tightened up by 10-15 minutes.
