I liked Season 2. In many parts it was better than season 1, some were not so good. I especially liked that new red head girl, she was good. I´m pretty sure I´ll be mostly alone in that, though. I feel weird… ---

Intriguing. I’m looking forward to watching it. Why do you feel weird? Because other people didn’t like it and you did? Or just in general? ---

> [@PiecesOfKate](#): > > Why do you feel weird? Because other people didn’t like it and you did? Or just in general? Just in general, it´s just a hunch. I haven´t read too many opinions so far. Anyway, let´s play the six degrees of seperation game. 1. @RonGilbert was an extra in **Howard The Duck** 2. The bad guy in **Howard The Duck** was played by **Jeffrey Jones** 3. **Jeffrey Jones** was **Winona Ryder** ´s dad in **Beetlejuice** 4. **Winona Ryder** is of course in **Stranger Things** 5. **Stranger Things** staring **David Harbour** as Sheriff Hopper! 🙂 Anyone can get less? ---

Anyway, while I was watching Stranger Things, I imagined you in place of the Sheriff. Even the italian dubber of Jim Hopper has a voice tone similar to yours, as heard in your podcasts. It has been funny, really 🙂 ---
