4merper4mer Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 The running commentary on the episodes was well worth the thread. A couple things I'll add: 1) Bodine's death (I shall forever call Matthew this from now on) was unsatisfying. If you blink, you missed it. Yes, it was well done in the sense he was killed by his own creation -- but I think we deserved a slightly longer beat than that fraction of a moment we got. 2) Just to wrinkle your brain: What if 11 and Manute Bole / Flower head are one in the same? She's the monster, she created it as a defense mechanism. 3) If anyone wants to read real gov't files on MK ULTRA and the type of shite it encompasses: https://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/13inmate_ProjectMKULTRA.pdf 4) I'm frankly surprised Season 2 will be a continuation of this story. I thought it would be best served as a stand alone kind of thing with an entirely new story told in Season 2. 5) A collection of good articles on the show http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/07/reboots-be-damned-stranger-things-shows-a-better-way-to-do-nostalgia/ http://www.refinery29.com/2016/07/118430/stranger-things-fan-theory-demogorgon http://www.bustle.com/articles/175740-11-stranger-things-theories-that-could-totally-come-true-during-season-2 http://screenrant.com/stranger-things-concept-art-upside-down-monster/ Cool theory on #11 and the monster but all of that spooge on the wall was real so doesn't the monster have to be real too?
