Much like Mikey, Rudy and Samwise Gamgee one man was able to persevere, to find the impossible, to beat all odds and sack the competition, to put the weight of the whole world on his shoulders and climb the mountain ahead of him! Bob Newby and his video camera and ability to do math and figure out ridiculous maps was an icon...a man above all men! Sure some men are stronger, sure some men are better looking, sure some have jobs that pay better...but Bob Newby still stands above them all!!
    I think somebody may have identified with a character a little strongly.

    Which is cool by me. I identified extremely strongly with Alan Bates' protagonist of Le Roi de Cœur:




    I have to this day never been able to get Genevieve Bujold's entrance out of my mind.

          I didn't mind the Eleven storyline except for that episode. Hooper had to keep her hidden, but given that she's a human being (and a teenager to boot) she's not going to like it, so she's going to be whiny. And she has a connection to Mike, so she's going to be jealous. These make perfect sense. It would be too unbelievable if everyone was just hanging around like in season 1, so they needed to go through stuff to get the gang back together.

          And I'm in the minority in that Max's brother was so over-the-top that it actually made me like his character.

          Actually the biggest issue I have is the "map" that Will drew. How exactly did Winona know which ones went together? They were all the same **** thing!

            Width of the path. I loved the map. God I hate Will, though. Do you think if they just killed him anyone would miss him? He's so drippy.

              I mean, were they all really that different in width? He was drawing in crayon, it's not like these were mechanical drawings.

              To be fair, his character spent one season nearly dead in the upside-down and another season essentially going through an exorcism. It's allowed to take a bit of a toll on him.

                I wondered about the same thing when she started putting them together. My story is the path width varies and matches across the squares, and the ancillary lines in other colors match up too.

                  In a world where Mathew Modine is a brilliant doctor and a kid can move crap with her mind I can set aside the fact that the map made zero sense. Well zero sense to everyone but Bob Newby who not only thought it was ridiculous but then figured it out anyway cause he is FLIPPING BOB NEWBY!!!

                          Watched the first episode of "Dark," a Kraut Stranger Things / noir / soap opera pot boiler. It has potential, though the dubbed version is like nails on a chalkboard.

                            I loved it, just finished watching it all a second time . Watch with subtitles. Although I speak German so I’m biased

                              Subtitles are always better.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                I completely agree, but I’m learning a lot of people hate them.
