As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

And then there's QUILTBAG. A couple of podcasters I've listened to say the next iteration of that one should be QUILTBAG 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Edit to say: that article is in fact satire. I was just struck as to utterly ridiculous they had to get before I realized it was satire. The left has become that insane.

I thought it was serious.

It wasn't until they got the the leaflet campaign that I really knew it was satire. Pretty much everything else is typical leftist Twitter every day.

I read the first half... Closed it in disgust. Glad it was satire. Funny I couldn't tell the difference.

HUGE reveal in this trailer. I'd call it a spoiler, but it's clearly not something they're trying to hide.

1. They basically said he was alive in the post credits scene in the last episode of season 3.
2. He's a character actor, not a lead actor.
3. Did you see the new Hellboy? It sucked.

Really? "No, not the American" I mean, it's a hint...

11 filed harassment (NOT sexual) and bullying charges against Hopper.

One wonders what a coddled child like Brown considers harassment and bullying. Let's be serious, she's never faced a day of adversity in her life. That's not defending Harbor, maybe he's an asshole. But she's big on the woke stuff, and those folks aren't known for having thick skin.

She filed it prior to shooting S5, which is interesting. More interesting is the timing for this news to hit. I guess no press is bad press?

Netflix did an investigation, which "went on 'for months.'" Speculation: A long investigation for something like this implies it was rough finding evidence or anything to support her claims.

I like how they announced on Instagram they adopted a kid, then asked for privacy.

David Harbour, the socialist, bi-polar, former alcoholic who cheated on his wife of 5 years?

I mean, anyone could be in the wrong here. :)

It's all performative. Just like all of their trans or other wise LGBQ+ children.

Absolutely fair, particularly if he's bipolar. I did not know that about him.

But none of them live in any sort of reality that 99.99999999% of the rest of the world experiences.

Yeah, I was mostly kidding, but the guy has issues. And good for him being sober half his life now, but I always take that as a sign the person has demons.

My kids made me get all caught up. Not sure why since when the final episode drops the Buckeyes will be playing in the playoffs...

Anyway, this is more of the same as they head towards the series finale. Everyone is back, and it's decent.

They even do a very interesting bit between Dustin and Steve that seems to be a direct response to fan criticism about Eddie's death. 100% justified criticism. HUGE respect for them turning it into character development. That's how you lean into something.

It's tough watching the scenes between Hopper and 11 knowing about their real world tension.

Sadie Sink is the breakout star of the show, and I wonder if her other projects led to how she's used in the first several episodes? You'll understand when you see it.

They don't mince on the gore this season, which has been fun and makes the horror element of the show pay off more. This isn't Goosebumps.

Sarah Conner is this season's human baddie. I did not know that going in. Nice to see her.

Every time I see Winona Ryder, I think of this song. Also, 100% would.

Almost forgot...

The world is possibly going to end. Friends and family are almost certainly going to die. Many people already have. Before we attempt to save humanity, let's stop to let everyone know our sexuality.
