Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all,

[lunabee34]

we just finished Stranger Things. *wails*

This is worse than when I took I Emma to see Spiderman and Gwen Stacey died. Trufax, worst parenting fail of my life.

*deep breath*

Okay. I know a bunch of you posted about this season. Link me please?

That was definitely a season ending, wasn't it? *pets you*

I posted about it, but I should warn you that there were several things I didn't like about the season, including some of the stuff you really liked! So you should be aware there might be some squee-harsh. I put all the positive stuff up front, though.

No worries. My squee is safe. :)

Thoughts after reading your review:

Even though my tolerance for it is pretty high, I can totally see how the bickering and hollering between Hopper and Joyce is deeply annoying to others. It was almost too much for me by the end as well.

I feel like they were trying too hard for the Sam/Diane dynamic (and even the Han/Leia dynamic) without realizing that you can't just do that constantly or it grates.

I think he'll be back next season. And the move....wah! But also...necessary?

Mine is too grumpy, and I don't want to subject you to it. I'll hook you up with fic, though, when you're ready. :)

[lunabee34]

I think you're right that he'll be back. *crosses fingers*

Lay some fic on me! I'm ready for it.

[nyctanthes]

Totally self-pimping. And it's going to be a series! This is Jonathan's POV, the next will be Joyce's, the next Will's (with lots of El).

Shotgun.

Let me think about the rest...I haven't checked in at Ao3 in a bit, and possibly some good stuff has come up now - that is even outside my own show obsession. *g*

[lunabee34]

Thank you! I love it. You have such a good handle on the characters.

[nyctanthes]

Thanks for reading it and commenting!

Here's mine, pretty much all squee.

[lunabee34]

Your squee is my squee! We liked all the same things. :)

Now we'll just have to see how everything changes for next season with the Byers moving and Hopper (hopefully) being alive in a Russian cell.

So I haven't seen, but spoil me, because it sounds like I need it?

[lunabee34]

Hopper dies at the end. I was not expecting it. I knew one of the grown-ups was going to have to die, and I thought it would be conspiracy theorist guy Murray.

I enjoyed the season but also had some complaints - I posted about it here and here.

I definitely think he'll be back next season, too.

[lunabee34]

From your lips! I hope so.

After reading your reviews: I think you are spot on about Billy. I wanted to care more about his sacrifice than I did because we just didn't get to know him enough for it to matter in the way I wanted it to matter.

I also completely get why everyone find Hopper insufferable; it was too much and too over the top. I wish the bickering and hollering had been toned down more than a little.
