I dunno. He was so important in season one. They barely touch on him here. A scene or two saying he misses 11. You’d imagine it would be much more of that all the way through to ramp up the payoff. |

I havent finished the new season but im guessing maybe he is not doing much because of schedule conflicts with other movies he did like It? How many seasons this series will have? |

Supposed to be four. Third is already planned and series creator says he’d like to see it end with four. |

I'm only 3 shows in, so you guys may know stuff that I don't, but this theory was pretty cool.
For those of you who are worried about spoilers, the video was released before the season started. I'm spoilering it anyhow, in case you don't like other people planting ideas in your head. |

Lured by the Halloween backdrop (and 4K + HDR) of season 2, I tried to get through some more of the first season to see if it would take this time. I just can't do it. I hate this show. All the hollow nostalgia is nauseating. |

A fairly buried Star Wars reference. I didn’t catch it. |

stip wrote: dismissing this as nostalgia is lazy I agree. Its weird, the series is way better than its nostalgia oriented theme. Its infuriating sometimes because its good and yet they need to cram a few references to whatever movie or food the americans ate in the 80s. |

there are nostalgia moments for sure, but this is also a period piece that is part of living memory. these are also historical details |

I don’t get the complaints about nostalgia. It’s set in a certain period. It isn’t depending on that period to tell it’s story. The story could be places any time. If you’re getting taken out by the period setting you’re missing the story. |

I hate this show. All the hollow nostalgia is nauseating. Hold me. stip wrote: dismissing this as nostalgia is lazy HOLLOW nostalgia is different. I can't speak for LV, but I have no problem with nostalgia in general. But when it's the primary draw o a show? I mean, those kids can act, but the writing is horrific and Wynona Ryder is insane. So I totally get LV's "hollow nostalgia" criticism, because I felt the exact same way after the first six episodes. I'd get more emotion looking at my kindergarten pictures. |
