“What’s the Internet?”
Obvioiusly, this is bloody good. It's Stranger Things. But things are getting pretty intemse in all plot arcs, and something has to give.
There's one arc, pleasingly, which is there to provode contrasting light relief, as the California kids find Suzie in Salt Lake City, where her highly religious Mormon family prove to be... not quite as expected. But her dad is a dick, keeping her away from Dustin just because the lad doesn't believe in God. I hope he gets his just desserts. Still, Suzire fulfils her plot function while the whole plot thread lightens the mood. Plus it's always amusing seeing early Internet stuff.
But there are not many laughs elsewhere as the tension builds, although Joyce and Murray have some fun at Yuri's expense in Siberia. Hopper, though, isn't having much fun at all, facing imminent sacrifice to a Demogorgon.
Eleven is having a fascinating but horrible time reliving repressed memories in order to get her powers back, while the Hawkins contingent are caught between Vecna (not much apparent this episode, despite Steve finding the, agem, "Watergate"), the cops and a frenzied mob whippred up by the conspiracy theory weirdos. This mob is by far the most terrifying thing in this season, Vecna included.
The cliffhanger is incredible. There's great character stuff here too- Nancy and Robin bonding; Max and Lucas slowly maneouvring to hopefuly get together again.This is simply awesome.
