I thought this was a joke, holy shit
That poor girl was in a rush to grow up, makes me wonder about her home situation that she wanted out. She was looking 40 as soon as she hit 18 and I believe had a guy lined up already
They adopted a baby, so she also kind of pulled a pregnancy speed run. Maybe if you were a child star, you'd want to make yourself an "adult" as soon as possible?
As to why adoption?
if you made money based upon your body, and how it looks (Nothing sexual). The last thing ( I think) you would want to do - is jeopardize that by becoming pregnant.
It permanently alters your body for better, or worse
believe had a guy lined up already
Drake had her "lined" up at 12....
I'm wondering if they're going to bust out some CGI to de-age the actors, or if they're going to just roll with it
Did you see them last season?
They were just rolling with it.
I've heard in the latest season the kids finally qualify for social security but now they're being hunted down by rogue agents at the AARP who are jeopardizing their ability to live on a fixed income.
Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.
It's not a motorcycle baby, it's a chopper.
My favorite part of Stranger Things was when Matthew Modine had to sit down with Eleven and explain to her why he'd be carrying a watch up his ass for 7 years.
It completely baffles me they didn’t just skip ahead a few years last season. The noticeable difference between the ages of the actors and the ages of their characters made it hard to take it seriously
ok, it is SHOCKING how much Maria de Medeiros looks like Mike Wheeler in those frames. I had to just go and double check that was an unaltered frame, it was from around 1:51:25 in my copy of pulp fiction.
I’ve only seen season 1. This thread is making me think I should abandon it now. But maybe I should continue for the unintentional comedy.
The later seasons weren't bad necessarily, but you could honestly stop after season 1 and rest confident that you didn't miss out on anything important to the cultural zeitgeist.
I remember season 1. I don't remember the other seasons.
True. I enjoyed season 1. Quit the show after season 2 because I found it so awful and lame. I can only imagine what the later seasons were like, lol.
It was a one-trick pony.
"Get it? It's 80's!" can only last about one season before you start to get tired of the decade.
I did like some moments in the later seasons, I wouldn't say they're awful but completely forgettable. They just kept trying to tell the same story over and over.
Sounds like I didn't miss out.
They should have done the Mike Flanagan thing and have a new story, new characters, new scenario that relates to the 80s nostalgia theme and built on that. They could have done something really awesome with old 80s nostalgia and bended the genre like Flanagan did with old horror classics.
Season 2 is kind of season 1 again, it's pretty decent. I personally liked season 3 the best.
4 was OK but I don't recall enjoying it that much, felt a little shark jumpy at parts
Thanks. Maybe I will try to continue watching. How do you mean sharing jumpy?
Sorry, that was a typo, "shark jumpy". It jumps the shark quite a bit.
I wouldn't personally say the show is must watch. But it is pretty decent soft horror, retro, sci-fi, mystery, adventure entertainment.
I guess my time is a lot more constrained these days and my list of shows to watch, movies to see, and games up play grows faster than it's consumed. So I really have to prioritise
Was that the one with Samwise the Gray?
Let me put it like this, I know I've seen more than one season, but how many and I don't plan on watching anymore
Max 3. Tap out.
I find it funny that the kid that got super big, Finn whatever, i think he’s the one with the most wooden look and worst acting than any of the other kids. From the first season i thought he was awful but I guess that’s subjective. But there’s no way he or any of the other kids are normal anymore, they’ve been consumed by Hollywood now. The girl who plays Eleven looks like she’s 50 now

That's what being Drake's friend at the age of 14 (when he was 33) will do to you.
“You know we text – we just texted each other the other day and he was like “I miss you so much” and I was like “I miss you more”. He’s coming to Atlanta, so I’m definitely gonna go and see him and I’m so excited.”
Seven years later, and it's still disgustæng.
Eleven's transition was beautiful and more shows should explore how friend groups can support trans comrades
Don't forget my father's watch
I specifically reminded her - bedside table! On the Kangaroo! I said the words, "Don't forget my father's watch!"
