your critiques for this season so far are very interesting. i will say this with my whole chest: season 2 is my favorite over all (and i also hated episode 7! but i love the halloween spooky vibes). the entire show overall is SO SO SO good all together, one of my favorites of all time, so so many rewatches. i know people say this season is their favorite... but it might be in fourth place for me! the others just tickle me a little more. you are spot on that the vibe in this one is so ultra 80s and the festive 4th of july energy is very iconic, but despite it really standing out from the others in tone, its still not one of my favorites when compared to the others. still love it though. i love "rang ings"!

2025-09-21 05:53:37 +0000 UTCI agree! Hopper's writing is what bothers me the most - It feels like they treat him mostly as a comedic kind of character whereas S1/S2 he was comparatively more of a straight-man with a lot of deep, emotional richness In S3 he's just kinda yelly and silly 😅

2025-09-20 06:03:25 +0000 UTCthis season is very pretty to look at, but the worst writing wise compared to the other seasons imo. that's why i don't understand the s2 hate, i think the writing takes a dive in s3. still enjoy it ofc but my least fav season for sure!

2025-09-20 04:56:55 +0000 UTCI get your opinion. This season was pretty gnarly with the goopy creatures and exploding people, so overall not my favorite season. I still stand by that Seasons 1 & 4 are my faves. Still loving Stranger Fridays with y’all!!

2025-09-20 04:14:01 +0000 UTCYeah I definitely agree! ;; I don't mind campy humor but imo wasn't done too well? I thought Erica's sass was cute in season 2 but kids are smart! They know when they're in danger and need to take things seriously so season 3 Erica felt super unrealistic and jarring for me.

2025-09-20 01:51:51 +0000 UTCWhen Hopper had the gun on "Terminator" and he said he wouldn't shoot him. Because "You're a policeman. Policeman have rules" is a direct reference to Die hard when McClain had his gun on one of the guys."Because you are a policeman. There are rules for policemen" This season is over the top silly but being a huge Die Hard fan and having a soft spot for it I loved that scene. Die hard was the movie me and my husband though not at that time went to, then he proposed to me. We have been married 35 years...

2025-09-20 01:31:56 +0000 UTCYou guys nailed it! I’ve struggled to put it into words what was off about this season, and the silliness is the thing. It’s all so much and so unserious, and this episode is especially rough. I hate what they did to Hopper. Erica is unbearable, and I feel bad for the actress. The terminator thing is so on the nose and never ending. Everything Russia related is pretty obnoxious. I don’t care for the manufactured teen romance drama, but I can forgive it only because there’s worse writing going on. Calling Jonathan’s hair chopped was the funniest thing.
