He was smart thenNah he ran off on the family
Was he a deadbeat or a prophet?
Yup. And I read a variety of books and watch shows/movies. It's all the same. I don't think people notice it as much, when they think the writers are black.

Just listenedI think I mighta fukked up watching that Double Toasted review.
Now I have NO desire to watch this season.
ignore Korey most of criticisms stem from a handful of scenes...even then it was based on shyt that was also done in previous seasons. He has a problem with the kids growing apart like he wanted them to stay happy kids foreverHe trying to be different.

just finished season 3....
so when the Russians were gonna feed that thing at the end....one of em said "No not the American" and took another Russian instead.....does that me Hopper is still alive??....
I can't imagine who else it'd be but I also am assuming they're leaving the door open for possibilities.
Also speaking of open doors, when Hooper's note said leave the door open 3 inches it made me think that might be a little wink at the audience that maybe he made it into the upside down before the machine exploded.

Yeah and it's a real shame with Lucas because I think he's the best actor out of all the kids. Max is really dope too and they have arguably the most chemistry of any couple on the show (including the adult couples too). I wish they had a little more time to shine because the actress that plays Max is also low key better than El.Feel kinda bad for Will & Lucas, compared to everyone else this season they didn’t really get their own storylines and were just bit players in the other ones. Will had the bit about missing out on what his friends had and being stuck in the past/not growing up but it felt like it could’ve been fleshed out just a bit more. Lucas had the romantic subplot with Max that didn’t really get expanded on much minus him helping Mike. But he came in clutch all seasonthat kid was about that action anytime it jumped off
Regarding Will I feel bad for him too but I also feel for the writers because he's a hard character to do stuff with, considering he was just a plot device in season 1 and for most of season 2 he was a plot device as well. So all the other characters had 2 seasons of arcs and growth going into season 3, and Will didn't get to have that.

Exactly.
I hope they tone it down next season. Or introduce more Black Women on the show that are three dimensional.

Andbecause in many ways he already got his childhood robbed, because he didn't get to experience a lot of their adventures because he was either missing or possessed.
He reminds me of a kid version of the friend in The Hangover movies that's always the one that ends up missing.
Someone joked in here and I didn't even think about it before) that it's fukked up how his main contribution to the group is knowing when the Mind F;ayer is about to show up...but only like 5 seconds before everyone else finds out anyways.
Honestly though I kind of feel for the writers, because I don't know how much you can do with him, right? He was basically a plot device in season 1, and in season 2 they got him a little more involved but he was still largely a plot device again. So now I think they knew they needed to do something fresh and not use him in the same way again, yet so much has happened without him in the picture that it would be hard to do a lot of potential story arcs for him without introducing new characters.
Speaking of story arcs
Can my man Steve catch a break? Holy shyt. Dude went from being a weaker character in season 1 to being one of the best parts of the entire show. I feel like he ended up in the same situation he started in. I wish they would've just let him hook up with Robin. The reveal about her being a lesbian felt kind of forced. Her and Steve had great chemistry, and Steve started the season working a dead end job because he didn't apply himself in school. And at the end of the season he wants to work another dead end job doing something he's not really into (video games) just to what....spend more time with a girl that is a good friend but isn't interested in him sexually?
Just let Steve get a W. This is 2 seasons in a row where Steve catches an L in the romance department.
Again, I'm sounding very complainy about this season so far, but it felt unfulfilling to not have any positive outcome or coming together romantically for Steve and Robin AND for Hopper and Joyce. The fact they took Hopper out the frame without he and Joyce ever kissing is crazy to me. Like the Russian in the back seat, I also was positive Hopper and Joyce had fukked before. Didn't they allude to them hooking up prior to season 1?
Steven also keeps getting his ass beat up.

how yall let one person's/outlet's review determine what you do/don't watch? especially when the majority of people have given it good reviews?I think I mighta fukked up watching that Double Toasted review.
Now I have NO desire to watch this season.
like another poster said, if you watched the other seasons and liked them (minus the prevailing consensus season 2 wasn't as good) then there's no reason not to watch this season. i personally think it's their best
