Matt thinks he may be gay and is trying to overcompensate for his toxic father. <br /><br />I really liked this season but I thought season 1 was stronger, I do agree that the friendships were better in season 2. While I thought Jane's little Chicago visit was an important story arc, I didn't like watching it? Actually, the middle was kind of lost on me. <br /><br />And how are we doing a third season?

I was shipping Hopper and Joyce so was prepared to dislike Bob but I liked him SO much. Joyce probably does need a regular sweet guy. I'd also been shipping Jonathan and Nancy because I thought Steve was a tool, but wow was I wrong. Jonathan is kind of dullsville and Steve has hidden depths. Maybe Nancy is too boring for him! Interesting theory on Billy - you could definitely be right. Glad we agree on Ep 7. And I do agree with your predictions spoiler -- I think Carrie may be more of a reference in season 3. I definitely felt Exorcist vibes toward the end of season 2.<br />I'm sure I have more to say... but I loved this post!Jen Rylandhttp://www.jenryland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-89229114295752644482017-11-19T10:46:36.309-05:002017-11-19T10:46:36.309-05:00This isn't a thing I usually enjoy )sci-fi) bu...This isn't a thing I usually enjoy )sci-fi) but the characters are so good that I love it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-90019127711343371742017-11-19T10:46:08.100-05:002017-11-19T10:46:08.100-05:00I'm surprised I have.

But by the end I came around to understanding where it came from more and liked how they worked it out.<br /><br />I liked the Kali/Eleven dynamic and how it shaped Eleven's actions but the episode itself (with Kali's crew - more than Kali) felt like a bad 80's music video. I wouldn't be opposed to her or the other subjects coming back.<br /><br />I REALLY hope they do something more with Max and Billy otherwise it's just a waste of time and spreading out the cast too thin IMO.

Which is very nice. And I agree about Bob! All along I suspected he was a mole meant to keep an eye on Joyce or something, but nope. Just a nice guy. Same with Paul Reiser's character. How refreshing to have a "bad guy" who wasn't really bad, he actually cared what happened and sided with the good guys. Loved that! <br /><br />Joyce I really liked this time around, and while Dustin is fun he makes some BAD decisions lol. I mean, dart??? And I liked the Kali/ Eleven episode a little more, at first I was rolling my eyes but I thought it got better. As for Hopper, I was mad at him a lot for how he treated Eleven, but I get what you're saying, there were character reasons for it. Max was awesome and a great addition, I hated how Eleven treated her, and Billy... yeah the big dud of the show. That didn't work at ALL. <br /><br />As for theories- I absolutely hope Max takes a bigger role. Of course that means more Billy, which ugh, but whatever. And I do think Kali will be back. And you know Billy as a lab operative- I'll be honest, for the first few episodes I was totally expecting him to be at the school to keep an eye on the kids, but that didn't turn out. I kept thinking, what is his role??? And the only disappointment I really have is this sorta ended just like S1- yay they're victorious but wait, there's the shadow monster, it all could happen again. I agree they need to not go to the same well again in S3. <br /><br />LOL about lung cancer. Chain smokers for real, yeesh.
