Stranger Things 107 'The Bathtub' - Early Access

Alright, this last week has been torture waiting for this edit so I can get on with the finale. :D But before I get on with that, it's time for my third watch of the penultimate episode. 1:20 Ooh, Lacey cut him off. That's why it's Lacey and Steve. She's the bad ass editor. It's okay, we still love you, Stu. 3:20 I thought they'd go with the E.T. approach of flying over the van, but making the van flip was a lot more cool. I noticed how Dr. Brenner didn't even think about his two guys who are possibly dead in the flipped truck. Also, Lucas had a totally awesome moment there. 5:22 Come on, Lacey. Why won't you trust him? 6:30 Maybe this Steve guy is going to be alright. Though he has a long way to go before he's there in my eyes. 7:17 I love how it always goes back to Star Wars for Dustin. 7:40 You jumped the gun there slightly, Steve. Say "good for you" again in about 14 seconds :) 8:52 Hopper, once again punching his way through his problems. Quite successfully as well. 10:30 How dare Mr. Clark try to close Dustin's door of curiosity? He did it all for the nookie. 11:24 I don't think they're lying each other here, but they are lying to themselves. They'll soon realize their feelings though I think. 12:00 I had that exact thought that you two did at the exact time. That kind of encouragement and support is just what 011 needs right now, I think. 12:34 These "upside down" scenes remind me a bit of a weird movie with Scarlett Johansson called Under the Skin. It's very bizarre, but if you're a fan of hers but always thought she wore too many clothes, that's the movie for you. 15:10 I don't think he can punch his way out of this. 15:25 Will, I think you should go; come on back to the "downside up." 17:58 Is it clear how many days have passed since the first episode? I'm thinking it's only about a week or so. 18:55 So a snake crawling out of your mouth means you're definitely dead? That's the sort of thing I'd expect from normal things. But these things are stranger. There is a 6% chance she's alive. 20:30 I too was thinking of Nightmare on Elm Street here. I have no idea if that's what these writers are going for or not. But I do recall that Nancy and Jonathan had the idea of luring the monster to the downside up by having some blood. So I think we will see that come up in the next episode. 21:40 I look forward to the live-stream on Monday the 24th. And now I can watch this finale!
