The Vanishing of Will Byers

Stranger Things
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

I like that the 4 boys were playing Dungeons & Dragons for 10 hours & riding bicycles, it was like looking at Anytown USA, before the country went bad. The boys were also actually young. It did remind me of Stand by Me & ET. I don't remember Goonies that well, but that too. It wasn't boring.

So weird to see Wynonna Ryder playing a single mom & I didn't even recognize Mathew Modine.

That diner owner was nice to her & he was murdered because of 11, so she better start talking soon. Is she some hybrid, born of that weird thing? Are they doing experiments there like The Mist?
