Say what you want, but I am of the belief that the Netflix original show "Stranger Things" is one of the better shows "on" television right now. With its fantastic young cast, incredible use of lighting and music scores, and fascinating portrayal of the lives of kids in this small town, the show has grown to have a cult following.
"Stranger Things 2" was released on October 27th and you better believe I finished it all that weekend. From the hysterical dialogue to the moments when I was inconsolably weeping, season two had me at the edge of my seat. Now, I would like to share with you 11 (haha) of my favorite moments from "Stranger Things 2."
Warning: MANY spoilers ahead.
1. When Dustin showed off his new pearly whites.
The evolution of Dustin's teeth is clearly the best arc of the show.
2. When we all learned how to "Hop."
Come ON. This is the best dancing I've seen in YEARS.
3. When Lucas' little sister kept flaming him and the gang.
Honestly an icon, she had a roast ready after everything they did/said.
4. When they all dressed up as ghostbusters for Halloween.
I live for the pictures their moms took of them (Mike's face >>>)
5. When Nancy and Steve dressed up in the LEAST recognizable outfits from "Risky Business."
They seriously could not have picked a more obscure costume from a popular '80s movie.
6. When you realized Bob Newby was the purest character on the show. #JUSTICEFORBOB
I thought he was a spy for Hawkins Lab or something but he was actually on Will's side THE WHOLE TIME.
7.When Eleven hit her emo/scene phase (Don't worry El, it happens to the best of us.)
This episode and everything in it came out of nowhere but I'm here for this slicked-back hair.
8.The moments we had ALL been waiting for since season one...
Fun fact: you can see Mike tell Eleven "I'm coming in" before he goes for the kiss, because Millie wanted to be warned since she was caught off guard by the first kiss they shared. How precious.
9. ...and all the other moments we were not prepared for but that were just as heartwarming.
Personally, if Hopper and Joyce don't get together next season, I'm rioting.
10. When everyone banded together and put all their differences aside for the greater good.
I loved how at the end of the day everyone was ready to just kill some demadogs.
11. And finally, when we got Will back (no, like when we ACTUALLY got him back.)
Ok, WHO is this random girl, WHAT is she doing with Will, and ARE we going to see her again???
Undoubtedly, I missed a few honorable mentions. Nonetheless, I really loved this show, and I can't wait to see where they take such a hit like this. I don't know about you, but I'm counting down the days until "Stranger Things 3"...
