Stranger Things

[Moedred]

It's 1984, and there are some riffs on Temple of Doom: "we are going to die," saving the hat, and nocturnal activities.

Also Hopper gets scrubbed down in the showers like in Crystal Skull (1:59 in the final trailer).

Picked on a couple of those as well, but also

the end where Eleven closes the gate really reminded me of the lava pit in Temple. The elevator with chains and even the lighting were very reminiscent of TOD

That said, I thought this season was pretty safe and obvious. For all the talk of using Temple Of Doom as an outline, they pretty much gave us more of the same of Season 1.

I finally finished watching season II and really liked it.
As a fan, I would be quite happy for the show to end here.

But two more seasons? I don't know.
Keeping it fresh is going to be a real challenge.

Let's hope the Duff brothers can pull it off, but I'm not too optimistic at this stage...
