    I'm at work, and only browsed it briefly. It looks great. I plan to watch it more closely tonight.

    I loved the first season, and I liked the second. I don't know what it is, I'm just not feeling this one yet. Maybe as time gets closer, I'll get more excited for it.

    Good summary based on a trailer I think you nailed it! I'll watch this again tonight on my TV as I didn't catch a lot watching on my laptop. As for the kids it seems that Mike has aged the fastest of the bunch but I have seen him lately in other things (Weezer's "Take On Me" video). And I'll be curious to see if Billy is still a bully or if he comes around a bit and defends the kids this time around. I'd hate to see Jonathan go but your theory would make sense in a story. Also glad to see Steve and Dylan still buds.

    Can’t wait! I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons.

    I don't think they'd kill Jonathan. It would be wrong to make that family suffer any further. It wouldn't be a good move for the show.

    I'm still hoping they can find a way to bring Bob Newby back! I loved that man. We all did. :cry:

    When the series ends Steve should get his own spin-off. He's the man.

    And I really hope this crooked Mayor thing alluded to in the trailer isn't some subtle political commentary. Yes, yes, we know all about current events, please stop reminding us with every movie, tv show, record album, Tenacious D, children's books... This show takes place in the 80's and it successful because most people are hungry for an escape. Please don't make it just another soapbox. We have more than enough of those already.

    Gosh no, there couldn't have been crooked politicians in the 1980s. That kind of thing only happens today, right?

    Chicago mayors since 1955.
    (Michael Bilandic's photo is missing, but he was only mayor for a short time after Richard J. Daley died in office.)

    That's fine, just saying, if this mayor starts talking about building an immoral wall to keep the upside down out of their town my eyes are gonna roll so hard it might do permanent damage.

    New scene is up, but reveals almost nothing about the show...

  12. Just now saw this, but Jesus Christ every politician is crooked af! I don't think I'm violating forum policy by calling out their skulduggery, in any party, in any country. :shh:

    It's like, if you're not crooked enough they'll kill you for it. That's why Nixon walked and Kennedy didn't. :nyah:

    Although this has nothing to do with Stranger Things, I've often said that as bad as it was for JFK to be assassinated, it might have been worse if all his affairs (and proof) came out in 1963 or 1964. That would have been a debacle beyond belief... and apparently a lot of the press corps knew about it but just turned a blind eye out of a "gentleman's agreement." I would still vote for a guy like JFK a hundred times before I would... "certain people."

    Good vibes in that clip, though it doesn't feel like Stranger Things at all. Not a big deal though because that was fun.

    Is that New Coke just a prop, did they find an old can, or is Stranger Things a big enough deal that they can get Coke to do a limited time re-issue? I haven't tasted New Coke/Coke II for a very long time and I'd love to try it again.

    My girlfriend, age 50, thinks the homage is creepy.

    It sounds like you just might get your chance.

    Coca-Cola is bringing back New Coke in honor of 'Stranger Things' - CNN
