Great additions, and I'm delighted to see that Eleven will be back.

Just started watching Freaks and Geeks (fully aware I'm very late to that party!) It feels a lot like Stranger Things, without any of the stranger things going on.

Small group of geeks, a bully, older sister of one is starting to hangout with the slightly wrong crowd. Said sister has the dowdy friend, the dynamic with the parents is very similar. That and its all in the 80's.

Anyone else notice this or is it just me making connections where there aren't any?

It is slightly similar but that dynamic can be seen all over the place in plenty of shows and movies throughout the years.

Thats what I was thinking. I did some digging after I posted, turns out it the Duffers were influenced by it. Similarities are probably more intentional in this case.

Yeah, most people were saying it was like the Goonies meets Stephen King, but my first thought was Freaks and Geeks. That was an awesome show, I hate that there were only 18 episodes.

Pretty sure it's both.

No idea, because some of the sites I follow say it starts March 3. Maybe they changed things recently.

On their YouTube page it says Halloween 2017. Plenty of time for post-production.

Serious "Close Encounters" vibe with that trailer.

Side note: I picked up a pristine copy of the following books:

- 1979 AD&D DMG
- 1979 AD&D PHB
- 1979 AD&D Monster Manual
- Deities & Demigods (got a second, less-well-preserved-but-still-damn-good copy with the Cthulu mythos included)
- Fiend Folio

I still have all of those from when I bought them in 1979.

Lucky, I have no idea what happened to my copies, they probably got thrown out by my parents.
