"They're nobodies. And you're a superhero."
This season is getting better and better. And also, for this episode at least, slightly shorter, which makes it somewhat easier to squeeze in an episode and blog it.
We see lots more awesomely done CGI of the Upside Down, with the house and with Vecna at the centre of the web looking terrifying. He doesn't do much this time- well, until the very end- but just stands around looking terrifying as investigation happens. And we learn stuff. Robin and Nancy have a hilarious dynamic together, and also it seems Vecna's first known killings happened in 1959, long before Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson did their alchemy, with poor old Victor Creel perhaps taking the rap.
The witch hunt against Eddie continues, as menacing as any monster, with Lucas caught awkwardly in the middle, a dilemma portrayed superbly by Caleb McLaughlin. The bromance between Dustin and Steve, who are both awesome, is as touching as ever.
But that ending? Both previous victims had an association with the trailer park and seem to have been dealing with trauma... how could we have possibly have imagined that Max was safe, even before she sees the grandfather clock that must surely be the harbinger of her doom? There's hope in that she get's a cliffhanger, I suppose. But if they kill her I shall not be best pleased.
This is brilliant.
