Okay, 11 was great and the kids too. And all the drama of the monster and the mystery of the goop in the basement.

But there's this top level government agency apparently doing mind control experiments with at least one gifted person. Are there others, or is 11 unique? I assume there are others, but nothing more about it, or the goals of the program, other than some hints.

But that wasn't my problem. The government had little idea what the monster or the goop was about? They sent their guy in there to find out, but that didn't go well. So this monster, who steals people to be hosts for it's babies, has taken up residence in this otherwise protected lab; but there's no apparent tie to the mind control stuff. At a minimum, say the government hopes to someday harness this monster, at least move the mind control stuff somewhere safer. I mean I didn't see the upside down as anything the government really knew about, or did I miss something?

It just started with "here's a bunch of really weird shit," and the promise of explaining it, but the end was "well that was some really weird shit." Disappointing.

Plus it sucks Will is likely dying.


P.S. just saw there's a season two so maybe they go into stuff more?

Maybe more answers next time. But that doesn't really bother me. The story is the kids. As long as they bring back 11, I'll be happy. But it would make me more happy if they dump Winona Ryder. Jesus, she's awful. Also, Nancy is emaciated. She looks unhealthy.

I think they were pushing her to do that and when she came across the monster, she opened up the portal with her mind powerage and caused a whole bunch of problems. Yeah, they sent the dumbass with no powers through the portal. But the goal was always to study why the shit they did with 11 worked so they could weaponize it. Everything else seemed exploratory.

I've been watching The Get Down, which I have been enjoying so far. Here is some Meters for the Daily Dose. Funky Miracle. Funk is indeed a miracle.

That is not surprising given that Pushy The Puppy found the avatar photo. But I would argue that any post with a link to a Meters tune is automatically among the most valuable posts on this entire chatting board forum.
