Maybe the Perfect Prep machine is actually silent, which means ...

Timtam Grin that would certainly explain the mess in my house. I'll maybe tell people before they come round, "oh, by the way, I live in the upside down, so like, excuse the snow, clutter and tentacles".

TimTamTerrier · 20/08/2016 18:56

Grin When my DC were little my Mum used to say that it looked like a bomb had gone off in my sitting room. So for several years as she walked in the door I would say "The most extraordinary thing happened just before you got here, a bomb unexpectedly went off in the sitting room and scattered toys everywhere."

It's the feckin playdoh...... Anyhew, totally loved this series. Loads of really jumpy bits which reminded me of watching horror films in the 80s when I was about 12 and far too young (Nightmare on Elm Street etc..)

SPOILER

Dr Brenner is not dead.
I paused the screen to read the clippings (yes, I know, I'm a saddo)
and he was mentioned in the cut off sentence Dr Brenner denied...
Have just checked online and an interview with Matt Duffer confirms a cut away shot would have been a disappointing exit for Matthew Modine so yes, there's a possibility we will see him again (delighted, I remember him from Full metal jacket and Married to the mob. Like Christian Slater, I do like a comeback).

RepentAtLeisure · 21/08/2016 01:54

I love that both Winona and Christian are back with an awesome TV series!

Emison · 21/08/2016 01:59

I LOVED this! One of the best shows this year!

Thanks to whoever got me onto this ^ but it's great. The duffer twins basically give their take/inside info on each episode. They are not in order but just look for introducing/ep 2,3 etc (ie you can read them in order) and they are fascinating.
Am obsessed with this show. Golden globes and Emmys all round 2017.Star

Hassled · 30/08/2016 22:30

Bumping this because I've just finished watching and am quite obsessed. I cannot believe how great an actress Millie Bobby Brown is. Eleven was the Demigorgon, right?

And also to share the Virtual Reality 360 experience thingy here

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 31/08/2016 01:54

Eleven was the Demigorgon!?Shock
Please explain your reasoning Wink

Hassled · 31/08/2016 15:03

Well more that the Demigorgon was the manifestation of her terrors - an embodiment of her. She's given a flower by evil scientist, then sees the monster for the first time (in the tank thing) - which has a flower shaped face. She says herself to Mike that she's the monster. Only she can kill the monster, etc.

Fiderer · 31/08/2016 16:32

Hassled that's v clever Grin

But she also saw that man speaking Russian (?) though maybe she'd had contact with him in the lab.

I just can't figure out where she "went". They seemed to be using her to find people and listen in.

DonkeyHotay · 01/09/2016 12:52

Molly Bobby Brown ws outstanding in Intruders. I loved that show but it has been canceled. She played an elderly guy as herself. They way she hooked her trousers up when sitting down (as if she was in a tailored auit) was creepy.

Loved this. As it's been mentioned below, I may look at Bloodline.

RepentAtLeisure · 01/09/2016 18:19

Jimmy Fallon ST cast segments

Hassled · 04/09/2016 19:54

There was a man speaking Russian? I missed that completely.

I love those Jimmy Fallon clips - the kids just all seem genuinely sweet and nice.

I was blackberrying today and I found a portal to the Upside Down which I feel compelled to share.

Ooh Hassled that's creepy. Next time you go, visit a hardware store first and stock up on monster hunting equipment.

Repent thanks for the clips, really enjoyed them.

Wasn't it odd hearing "Eleven" talk so much? Grin She's v self-assured.

Samcro · 23/09/2016 22:53

Some one please tell me that eleven some how lived
I love the young actors in this

ISaySteadyOn · 24/09/2016 06:52

She must have done though or why was Hopper leaving Eggos in that cache?

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 24/09/2016 09:53

Spoilers
Well chatting about plot points, I definitely don't have all the any answers!

Yes I thought Eleven was the monster too, something about the way she said she'd created the monster, and seemed very guilty about it, she knew all about the upside down... I definitely had that impression.

When we didn't see Brenner be killed DH and I both said he might still be alive.

Definitely hoping Eleven is still around and that's what Hopper was doing.

Who thinks Brenner was her actual Dad? I didn't, DH did. I can't believe someone would do that to their own child but of course, it's just a story.
I thought she was Hopper's child too, then that women they went to visit.
(DH agreed but said it still could be Brenner's daughter too!)

I loved Barb, she looked so familiar and I thought I'd seen her in something else. When I saw that Buzzfeed trivia thing it said it was her first acting job!

LondonJem · 24/09/2016 23:16

Just started watching it tonight. Watched four episodes ITS AMAZING but now I can't go to bed!!! DH is away what was I thinking!!!

jay55 · 25/09/2016 15:03

I love how the kids get on so well in all the publicity spots.

Fiderer · 25/09/2016 15:14

But what was that 'plane' she went to in the grim water capsule thing? Her sub-conscious?

Which somehow brought the Demigorgon out as well as the Russian.

Think I'll watch it again, without jumping in fear every 4 minutes Grin

awaynboilyurheid · 26/09/2016 15:24

What a fantastic show, loved so many bits especially the bit where everyone freaking out in the school last episode and the kids just go its the demogorgon so matter of factly! Casting was excellent Winona Ryder was so believable as the mum.
Spoiler Alert
I thought the eggos were left for eleven and heard the second series is now shooting please let it be as good as this one!
