Across -Vision

So I have been watching Netflix's new series, "Stranger Things"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/?ref_=nv_sr_1

1. Chief Jim Hopper is my favorite TV law officer since Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock on "Gotham" (and they are my favorites since Fox Mulder). Chief Hopper doesn't take anyone's guff.

2. The first season seems to be riffing off of the real life disappearance of a child during the "Satanic Panic" era, albeit very generally. As it turned out, the role of TSR's Dungeons & Dragons was over-blown in the media, and to some extent by William Dear who saw a good publicity bump and took it. Still, the disappearance of James Dallas Egbert III in 1979.

3. 11 has the same nosebleeds as others with her skills. Not the best writing trope to copy-paste, but accepted shorthand I guess.

Anyhow, I hope they produce more of the series.

mystery, gaming, dragons, television, dungeons
