That's right: Nancy Drew, created by Mildred A. Wirt and appearing in a whole lot of novels over the decades.
She's a good shot with a Colt .44, you know. Has her pilot's license. Her guy friend Ned Nickerson would bury a body for her without asking questions. Plus there's Bess Marvin!

And, yes, the puffy jackets Hop and Joyce wear are not precisely Kitty Pryde's ski jacket from Uncanny X-Men issue 168, but they are DAMN close and if that is not a deliberate homage, then, well, I will be disappointed in the entire Stranger Things team.

I adore that the Major Setpiece Finale Battle(s) of S4E8-9 of Stranger Things are structured entirely after the cinematic version of The Battle of Pelennor Fields.

I know that today is an arbitrary division. Not related to the seasons, not related to any clear change. It's just a, a celebration we throw into the dark of the year. Tomorrow will be almost indistinguishable from today.

So, a SAM flight came into MSP today. SAM is the call sign for a DoD flight. It flew from Florida to here *during a blizzard*.
So, what Department of Defense folks do you think rate a special handling flight into a blizzard?
Hegseth? Vance? More HSI agents for operation Metro Surge?

I have a deep compassion for the adult characters in Stranger Things who are dead-ass aware that this child is lying to them but there is fuck-all they can do about it.
Massive parent vibes, I *remember* that situation.

Rewatching S1 Stranger Things after the most recent S5 drop to check how the characterization has worked across the five seasons. Particularly interested in the characters who have grown into much larger parts.
Gotta say: really damn consistent, with solid and plausible growth. Nice job, Duffers.

You sound like a cult member, insisting that Criss Angel has actual magic powers and can levitate.
I can’t even begin to explain the level of anger I have about all this shit. It’s like folks dropped into a Stephen King story and forgot who the villain is.
