"Woah woah woah. This show takes place in 1983, right? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Okay, relax. What I think we’re dealing with here isn’t some sort of time-travel sub-plot, but just a simple error. Let’s talk through this..."

It was renewed last week and the Duffer Brothers are already working on it.

I lol'ed at the pinto when I saw it on the show. Good choice for the character though.

My 14 y/o son and I just finished the last episode ... we've been stretching it out to make it last. We both loved it, and it's incredibly heartening to see that my "Dad's Popular Entertainment 101" course is bearing fruit, because he caught some easter eggs that I missed myself.

Watched the first episode last week and thought "okay, seems alright, maybe I'll watch it some more." Then I watched the second episode and was hooked so much that I watched all of it in one evening.
Definitely set up for a new season, sad to see that popular jerk boy stays on and its the lucky one. But, of course some real life has to be there somewhere.

That was one of the only Stephen King books I enjoyed.
Great book. I never saw the mini-series, though.

The series isn't as amazing as the book (obviously) but it's still pretty damned good.

Not as obvious when you consider that there are a bunch of movies based on King that are better than the source material.
The Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Misery.... Possibly Carrie.

The books are almost always better. I think In movie form, too much gets edited so as to "fit in the time allotted" etc. etc. etc.

I've attempted to read a few S. King books in the past but they never really "grabbed" my attention.
He's obviously a gifted storyteller though.

King's novels are like reading all the Old Economy Steve memes back-to-back-to-back with a monster thrown in.
I recently read Salem's Lot and the Nixonian masculinity weirdness was way scarier than the vampires.

Yes, but King novels have a tendency to be extremely bloated (he's no Melville, he can't pull off tangents) and in dire need of a ruthless editor, so there's a nice balance.
His son's writing has begun to suffer the same fate, sadly.
