Mainly, in season 2 I want to see some of the romantic subplots followed up. Will Hop date Joyce? The implication was that maybe he already has at one point, that he's worked his way through all the women in town. Will Steve act like a big twat again? Will Jonathan get another crack at Nancy? Not that she deserves him. Will Mike take El to the Snow Ball?
All the Half-Life shit, ehh whatever. I guess there will be more monsters and shit, and more synth music.

I like how it ended, that classic end of movie twist and credits.
In season 2 I'd like to see a new story and new cast, like if it did the anthology thing True Detective and American Horror Story does.

Just feels like all the characters had their arcs, if it kept up with the same story in season 2 I duno, would be a stale milking imo. I'd be content either way actually, was really good would watch more.

my tangent for this thread is "strange things" by adam freeland, off of the album Cope (tm). i said to myself: no, actually read the first post before just replying with it. i did, and concluded my strange thing is cooler that your strange thing. tangent: justified. reply to thread

both those season 1s were perfect, and the followups didn't do them justice. Now you're scaring me. They left enough hanging, though, like what about kids 1 through 10? What about some other creatures? Is there an HEV and who gets to wear it?

Yeah the anthology format is hard to live up to when you have such a stellar season, it becomes the basis of standards for the next one. Still feels like it could work though because 'Stranger Things' to me even sounds like a series of Stephen King stories.
Shows these days try to wrap everything up and try not to leave anything hanging but I prefer there being some mystery, especially since it's going for that classic Stephen King vibe. I think enough was told that we can piece the lore together ourselves instead of lapping up more seasons about more of the test subject kids and the upside down. But none of what I'm hoping for even matters when the producers have said they hope for several more seasons with the same characters.

maybe it's bad when creators and greedy distributors listen to dumb fans like me who want more, more of the same. :-(

- how does the other side work? why would it have cars and movie theaters, and why would they be run down? if you construct something here, it appears there, but run down?
- Why did they avoid an emotional payoff with 11s mom? "you have a mom. your name is whatever" "here is a picture of your daughter, she saved us all."
- i didn't find the characters not talking to each other charming. i think its OK to do that, but then you pay it off with everyone laying it all out. they had everyone in the same room finally and just shared like 2 lines before they moved on.
- i know there was an egg, but did they just genocide the other side? that ecosystem might have need it.
- i don't understand what the bear trap and fire did. it allowed them to track the blood to its nest in the library, but it was actually at the school because it attacked everyone there. they didn't even weaken it.
- i'm ok with the homages, but the Under The Skin one bothered me because more people know about Stranger Things than Under The Skin.
- the monster was significantly less scary once you got to see the whole thing. i'm pretty sure thats been true since jaws.
