We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Looks good! But then again, so did the trailer for Vinyl.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
They screened it for the press and DH came home RAVING about it. I really really really really can't wait.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just finished Stranger Things last night. That was more 80's than most 80's media I remember. What a nostalgia bomb. I was surprised to hear the creators were in their early 30's. I thought they must have been the kids' age when the series was set (i.e. basically my age, mid-40's).
Winona Ryder was excellent but I was blindsided by how great the kid actors were. Seriously they were fantastic. Especially the girl who played Eleven, holy crap. And the Dustin actor, who had this amazing comic instinct.

Dustin was so awesome.

"Why are you keeping the curiosity door locked?!"
I could quibble plot holes and how (deliberately) derivative the whole thing was. But the thing is, they got the important things right, which is the characters. The kids were immediately lovable and distinct from the episode one. It took me a couple of eps to warm up to Joyce and the Sheriff but they did an admirable job fleshing out the adults out by the end. Even the minor supporting characters -- like, how great was that science teacher? SO GREAT.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
like, how great was that science teacher? SO GREAT.
Yes! and the parents of Mike and Karen. I only wish they had fleshed out the bad guys more, but that's a minor quibble since there will be another season of the show.
I want to discuss the last scenes, but I don't know if they count as spoilers.
Do we think that Eleven is alive but in the Upside-down? Is Will still connected to it or is the creature regenerating inside him??
