Glad you’re liking it man! ST is shaping up to be one of my favorite shows ever. Wait til you see what’s going on with Steve in season 2, haha.

Yeah, Steve has really come around! He was easily one of the worst ones on the show...and now he's one of the great ones!

Yeh, I watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 last night. I was very impressed with season 1. I'm finding other shit to do when I'm home just to stretch out the episodes so I can enjoy them over time. And I am loving the synthwave too.
If I could have theme music to my life, that's what it would be, lol. So epic. Makes me feel like I'm in a video game.

I thought the second season suffered as the mystery was uncovered.
The feared demigorgon of the first season is relegated to no more than a grunt; and the ambiguous monster that takes its place as main villain does not provoke much fear. It just reminded me of a regurgitation of the Eye in the LOTR stories.
Where first season was a psychological thriller, wrapped in a sci-fi story, the second season is pure sci-fi action.

Fuck yeah dude, it’s basically all I listen to anymore. If you find anything real cool, definitely let me know about it; I try to pay attention to releases in the genre, but I still miss a ton of great music.

I definitely will, I've mostly been listening to youtube playlists of the genre. I'll send some good ones your way.
It is 15 degrees outside at the moment. Perfect time to eat pizza, and watch some of season 2!

Thanks! I think it’s cool too, but in the past week I’ve tried a couple times to talk about it & no one ever replies, lol. It’s a pretty niche interest.

I was apprehensive about the synthwave, but when I started listening it clicked with me instantly. 
I love that feeling.

Just finished season 2. Countdown for season 3 begins! 
I have a feeling that Maxine's brother is going to cause problems in the next season. Also I was thinking that Eleven was going to die while closing the gate. Glad that wasn't the case. Real feel good ending to season 2, imo. Fuck yeah!

Funny... I just started getting into synthwave a few months ago, then I found out about this show. Soundtrack is definitely killer

Man, if I lived in your area, I’d be going to see FM-84 and The Midnight next weekend. It’s the second live show for both acts, and the first one looked really great. The Midnight has their live saxophonist out and everything. Really cool show. In case you’re not familiar with them:
Rocky: I agree that the second season closer was real nice. Had a real Pretty In Pink feel to it. Billy may or may not factor in next season, but I think the human antagonist might be Dr. Brenner. Or maybe he’ll be the end game, like Eleven’s version of Kill Bill. Or it’s a good guess that Billy will be the local bad guy. He’s probably gonna bang Mike’s trampy mom, then lay some sick “your mom” burns. Glad you enjoyed it!

Overall stunning. Best show I have seen in a very long time. The pressure must be immense for the producers.
He is totally going to bang Mike's mom. This is where trouble will brew, I think. I am guessing that said banging will influence Mike's mom to make bad choices that negatively effect "the party." I have a feeling that Billy has some racist tendencies, as well.
On the other hand, the "your mom" burns would be quite amusing.

Anyone who hasn't finished season 2, don't hover over my post and read whatever bullshit I had to say about the show or do so after finishing the season because I say a lot of spoilers as well as the ending.
He is definitely racist lol never even met Lucas but could "tell" he was a bad guy based off appearance which is easily implying it's because of skin color, pretty much since his introduction in the show I was waiting for the satisfaction of seeing him die so I can only hope he does next season
I mean I originally didn't like Steve in the first season until the end of season 1 and now I love him as a character so maybe something will happen in season 3 to make me like Billy too, especially considering he's got an asshole dad which adds to why he himself started off as a dick (and stayed a dick) so there's a chance there could be some character development there and he grows to be a little more humble and understanding.
Definitely think Burke is right about Dr. Brenner being a main component of season 3 though, otherwise the giant smoke monster thing showing up at the end of seaons 2 wouldn't matter since it has no way to connect to their world now unless something or someone like that asshole Brenner doing something that makes it possible now that we know for sure he's alive and why that was relevant at all considering he had no real part in season 2 at all yet was important enough to bring up. My only bitch about the whole season is how eleven (Don't care if her name is Jane, she's forever Eleven to me) was barely relevant for almost 3/4th's of the season, I know it made sense and added to the story but her and her powers are the best part to me lol
Also hoping that in season 3 they introduce her sister a little more since that was a teaser and a half, hopefully other numbers are still alive and get introduced too.

I'm not sure exactly what this is about but it seems relevant. Those guys are playing in dc next month.

After watching Beyond Stranger Things the directors said initially Steve was going to become the human bad guy for the kids but ended up liking him so much so they made his character help the kids and redeemed him. But because they did they then felt they had to introduce Billy to fill his spot. So I have a feeling he might remain a dick in the coming season.
I am still waiting to see how the demogorgon in the first actually came about. I still felt like perhaps it was some sort of Montauk monster made from the subconscious of Eleven. Especially bc there wasn't another and she seemed to be the only one to destroy it. The Mind Flayed seemed to actually be an actual entity in the Upside Down.
I am really excited to see more of Eleven's sister, Kali/Eight, in the coming seasons.
