Love, Spartan & Pudgey ❤️
For me season 1 and 4 are tied for first and 2 and 3 tied for second place. The Lost Sister episode is the only thing that brings 2 down I think, it's boring as heck, but if you skip it the rest of the season is tight. There are some things I like about 2 over 3 and some things I like about 3 over 2 so it evens out.

I thought you said Billy had minimal scream time, and I thought no, Billy did lots of screaming. 😊

Love Nancy dancing with Dustin. I was feeling so sorry for him when I was watching this originally.
Also Dustin and Steve is the best duo on the show without a doubt and I'm glad you guys are loving them together.

The Upsidedown is a replica of the real world. The creatures who were in the upside down when 11 closed the gate are still there.

So, i've never left a comment on your reactions even tho I love them sm, I would like to tell u, idk if someone already told you, but the actors who play Nancy and Jonathan are a couple irl, for some years now. Also the last song wasn't intended to be romantic, the writers just pointed out that it was about the mind flayer looking at Eleven. Btw, can't wait for season 3.

2024-04-29 19:23:35 +0000 UTC
each season has its own things going for it, s2 isn't bad its just the vibes of the other seasons are more interesting in my opinion anyway - s1 is pure mystery/sci-fi/nostalgic, s2 is pretty horror/story-based, s3 is very action-packed/funny/gory, s4 is very horror/thriller/emotionally investing/story-based

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I just saw it now. First of all, justice for Barb (finally)! This season was one of my favorites, even with my reluctance towards episode 7, I think it was extraordinary. Following your conversation, Dustin and Steve are definitely my favorites although all the characters bring a lot of good things. Hop is a true hero and Joyce is the mother of the year, always resilient. I feel exactly the same about Nancy's love triangle, I like seeing her with Jonathan but Steve has grown so much in my heart and I want him to be happy. Eleven is a beast and you can see how much her powers have grown. Again, I understand the way Billy acts, he's an ass but I can't hate him. It's been great following you on this journey, I can't wait for S3 and S4, I don't want to create expectations but get reeeaaady! I love your reactions, I love the community and I'm looking forward to what's next Now i will die slowly till the next episode 😂❤️❤️❤️

Why was Spartan disappointed the Steve vs Billy fight. I wanna see someone fight after getting hit by a metal object.
Rey Jr
2024-04-29 16:05:33 +0000 UTC
Team Steve always. Though I think he's too good for Nancy and deserves someone who loves him and chooses him first. So I don't ship him with her.

Thats actually awesome. Love that it will still live forever through this show.

You're going to enjoy season 3 and 4 no doubt and I think that any criticism is going to be minor.
Your reactions were particularly funny, I just love whenever Spartan want to "throw someone in the bin".
Pudgey finally getting a definitive answer for Barb!
The actor who plays Billy was I think 24 at the time, and all of the older teenagers/young adults were in their mid 20s, so often they seem older than their character is supposed to be. Steve actor is the oldest.
I also like Steve a bit better than Jonathan in season 2, but I don't want him and Nancy to end up together, I don't think they're a good match.

yes!! this season was great, especially the end for me. so stoked for you guys to start season 3!
AG
2024-04-29 15:11:36 +0000 UTC
Yeah I agree we didn't get many answers about the upside down this season similar to the first. All we know at this point is that El was actually the reason that dimension was able to connect with their own and all we know about El is that she is some sort of mutant that was experimented on so young she didn't know anything about the outside world. I've watched the entire show before and I personally don't think there was a weak season. I enjoyed every one as much as eachother.

it’s been so much fun rewatching this season with you guys.. i don’t know if anyone has told you yet but the actors who play jonathon and nancy are dating in real life and have been together for yearsss!! also i think i like steve more too but just as a character.. as for who i like better for nancy, id probably say jonathon! glad you guys enjoyed this season and happy u finally have your closure for barb~ looking forward to your reactions to season 3… shit gets even crazier lol

2024-04-29 07:50:01 +0000 UTC
I think you always have to consider the rewatch. Yes these shows are never horrible on a first watch cause no matter what, you wanna know what's happening. But on a rewatch, Mike and El's first scenes (season 1) will kind of always be nice to watch, but the whole Hop-El fighting, the Mike staring at a Walkie-Talkie half of the season, etc etc. will not be as good. Once the mystery is gone, these episodes lose value. This season was actually very slow with not much huge enemies (unless you wanna consider demogorgons to be exciting, whereas they are just brainless superdogs). The only thing intriguing is the shadow of the mind flayer. This is what I personally think, I can't speak to everyone.
HDN
2024-04-29 07:38:24 +0000 UTC
In my opinion everyone loved season 2 at the time it released it’s just that… seasons 3 and 4 are that good where when ranked season 2 tends to be looked at as the weakest… even though it was not weak at all. I just leave it at they’re all important parts of a great story.
Spartan I appreciate you making the hard choice and admitting you now prefer Steve for Nancy over Jonathan. It’s a courageous take to say aloud I expect nothing less. As usual Pudgey House is indecisive. Lacks honor. Do better.
As for Steve getting beat up again… think of each character as having a specific group role like an RPG game (like D&D). Steve is the party’s tank. It’s his job to protect the squishier party members by taking as much damage as possible. He accepts the pain so that others take less pain. This is true of Steve on more than just the physical level as you saw this episode.
Now the bad. A walk of shame on you both for shipping my man Hop with Joyce “now that Bob is out of the way” as Pudgey put it. Bob’s body isn’t even cold yet you savages.
All in all another awesome season and already can’t wait to catch season 3 with you guys. I’ve been here for some amazing shows and this one feels like not only one of the greats but the most fun yet.

I want you to get to season 4 QUICK!! lol! It's in a league of its own! You're going to look back on 1 & 2 and think it's old school Stranger Things! Obviously, every season is great, But Can't wait for you to experience what's to come!

I don't really hate season 2. Season 4 especially was so good that in hindsight these were weaker. Loved 1 and 2 though. For me it goes 4, 1, 2, 3

Great reaction as always! Other than The Lost Sister episode being disappointing for some people, I don't see how anyone can watch season 2 and think it's boring. Similarly, I can't believe people can see this and think it's too childish for you to react to. Like...are we watching the same show??
Madison
2024-04-29 05:48:04 +0000 UTC

Hey thanks for the mention! This finale was fantastic, Eleven is crazy powerful. More props to Noah Schnapp who plays Will, his "exorcism" of the mindflayer-parasite thing was such an amazing scene from everyone involved.
But yeah, Gate closed, Mindflayer gone, Hopkins Lab shut down. No more issues, the next two seasons is just about the boys playing DnD in their basement and eating snacks.
Riolkin
2024-04-29 05:25:49 +0000 UTC
Great reaction. Also, no one ever refers to Eleven as Jane in real life when discussing the show. It's more just a plot point to note than an actual name change. Always and forever Elle lol

Honestly s2 is actually good but s3 is pretty bad like soo unrealistic. By far the worst season in the show. 1>4>2>>>>>>>3.
JonSnow21
2024-04-29 03:35:07 +0000 UTC
Great reaction!!! But even though I doubt Steve could beat Billy in a fair fight since Billy has probably been getting hit like that all his life by his dad but I don’t think he would’ve destroyed him as bad as he did if he didn’t smash a plate on Steve’s head lol 😂 and I knew y’all would have Steve as one of your favourite characters but like I said before I don’t even ship Steve with Nancy because I think he is way too good for her . She cheated on him and he tells her that it’s ok lol .Steve is just the MVP this season easily and I would honestly put Billy second bc he was such an interesting character with minimal screen time , alot to do with how good Billy’s actor is .
JonSnow21
2024-04-29 03:33:32 +0000 UTC
Clever use of the music at the end, the Mindflayer hovering above Hawkins & the school as The Police sing "can't you see...you belong to me....every breath you take, I'll be watching you"
Best re-watch yet guys. Super stoked for S3-4! Let's GOOoooOoo

Nah season 2 is great. Especially those last 2 episodes wow you’re on the edge of your seat. Stranger Things just gets better each season it’s such an amazing show! Love the reactions I’m so happy you guys are enjoying this show it’s just too good. Bitchin!

The guy that plays Billy is an Australian. So beautiful lol.
I’m like you two with the whole Steve vs Jonathan but really we just need a second Nancy 🙃
Next season is going to knock you sideways. So unexpected. Just hope you don’t have a weak stomach!

Watching all these when they came out having to wait for each season I liked S3 the least, but when S4 came out and I binged the show back to back like you guys are now I loved S3 and S2 became my least favorite, I have a feeling you guys will agree. So stoked for S3 and obviously S4, you guys are in for a hell of a ride

2024-04-29 03:22:17 +0000 UTC
It’s going to be SO hard waiting for these moving forward! It just gets better. Fun fact, this show is filmed in my hometown (Metro Atlanta), and I got to meet Gaten (Dustin) at dinner one night in Atlanta. Also, the main location of next season was such a huge piece of my childhood, and it was so special seeing it fixed up again because it’s condemned now. 😭

2024-04-29 03:19:01 +0000 UTC
I have never understood the complaints about season 2 or 3. Most of the ill will for the second season was a result of episode 7. After the success of S1 Netflix had pushed the creators to expand the story in an attempt to create a spinoff because at the time that was the tv trend.
The show creators didn't love the idea of a backdoor pilot or doing a bottle episode so they tried to craft a supplemental story that explored what 11 could be if she took another path different than the one others put her on. . After the 7th episode was panned by critics & fans including a SNL skit spoofing the expansion possibility they abandoned that idea. With that said one bad/ average episode in my opinion didn't hurt the overall story. It was a great season.
Jason Sadowski
2024-04-29 03:14:28 +0000 UTC
I don't think season 2 and 3 are bad, but season 1 is better in my opinion and season 4 is just on another level.
Apotheosis
2024-04-29 03:04:06 +0000 UTC
Maybe it's because of deep teenage trauma, but the Snow Dance scenes always get to me. This has been a great season. I can't wait for the next two. The show seriously kicks it up a notch or two now.

The creature is in the upside down as we shifted to the upside down at the end. But the creature/mindflayer as the kids call it is pissed off. Looking forward to exploring season 3 with you all. I was so glad that we saw Murray in the end (the former news reporter) that got the story out about Hawkins Lab and that they finally could lay Barb's body to rest. One of my favorite scenes (besides almost all of the scenes at the end starting with Hop and El in the car) was when Max jabbed the syringe in Billy's neck and then almost hit him in the junk with the bat o nails. Ted is on my why the heck does he exist. I thought it was funny that the guy on the cover of the novel Mrs. Wheeler was reading looked like Billy lol. I think he is probably 18 but .... whatever still weird since Nancy is close to his age. The scene with Will's exorcism was so intense. It was scary when he grabbed Joyce's neck and held on. El reuniting with everyone was great. The gate scene was scary.
Lyn Hurst

It’s funny you mention actors ages since Joe Keery (Steve) is approx. 58 years older than the rest of the kids
Christopher
2024-04-29 02:28:24 +0000 UTC
I think Billy was really pulling on that rage from being dominated by his father from the previous episode and in general he is just a more brutal character. Steve uses violence reluctantly where Billy seems more comfortable and uses it as a go to. Which makes sense when you see how quickly his dad moves towards violence

2024-04-29 02:21:47 +0000 UTC
I think people find season 2 to be so-so mostly in retrospect after watching ST3 and ST4. The quality skyrockets from here and the pacing of the story accelerates to crazy levels over the next two seasons--so ST2 sort of pales in comparison because the overall plot doesn't advance all that much. It tells a singular story that is mostly just a doorway into the HUGE events of the rest of the show.

Steve getting his ass kicked every season must be the running gag of the show. He be fuckin up demogorgons but gets beat up by regular dudes lmao. It's okay though he's still my #1 favorite🫡 Also, his character development is just *chefs kiss*. And I absolutely adore the big brother/little brother dynamic with him and Dustin. That car scene where he drops him off to prom is so wholesome.

We forgive you for not liking Bob right away. I’m glad you didn’t recognize him as Samwell because it gave us an honest and unbiased opinion. Over time he proved himself to be a man of House Spartan, risking his life to save others and dying a true hero. I can tell you genuinely loved him in those last few episodes.
