Uncommon Idea

I have a feeling since they already used the de-aging stuff for Will, and all the time travel stuff being floated, that we’re going to have the gang going back to the night Will went missing or something. And we’re going to have crappy CGI younger versions of the actors play a role in the story.

---

I think the Duffers talked about how that was the first stuff that was filmed due to how much they needed to work on it and that it was very expensive. So I don't know if they'd bother (or could afford it with all the other CGI being used).

So why would Vecna give Will these powers to use against him? Is it some sort of Vader Luke situation where he thinks he can turn him?

---

He pretty much said that; he was using children (I guess as auxiliary power sources? - sorta like Peter Quill in GOTG2?) because they were easily broken and controlled.

I assume the process to use them (aka the tendrils in the mouth) alters them in some way and Will was just the first and finally managed to have the control/self confidence/will to access the "power."

The part where everyone is physically is in the walled off circle of the upside down. Dustin mapped it out. The center is the old lab with Sarah Connor and Mrs. I-can-make-you-see-what-I-want-you-to-see 008.

---

I don't know if he Upside Down military base is at the center. It seems that the old Hawkins Lab is at the center; it's labeled DOE (for Department of Energy) on the map which was the cover for the lab.

I've seen this theory floating around that the whole show was a D&D campaign and it ends with them still as kids sitting in Mike's basement playing.

---

I think the Duffers have mentioned this and said that it would ruin the emotional impact of the story.

Also, the overarching D&D campaign involved several in-game D&D campaigns, a separate Russian expedition for some characters, changing schools, and a vacation/moving to California along with abductions and various encounters with federal agents? That seems out there even for a D&D campaign.

This is the exact same boyfriend that came to the exact same Thanksgiving 5 years earlier dating the older cousin. I'm not sure exactly why they thought this would go over well, but some people just don't make good decisions

I'd really want to know if anyone broached the obvious subject. Something like asking where/when they met.

That seems like a nice grenade to liven up the family gathering. :lol:

He's not wrong given the play you embedded.

Embed this play and everyone goes "Oh yeah, that's familiar!"

Based on some interviews around that time, I am pretty sure it was Cam Jordan.

From what I heard, it was either 2 or 3 players who went to speak to Mrs. Benson about Dennis Allen. I heard this from someone who heard about the meeting and that Dennis Allen was going to be gone, win or lose, against the Panthers.

How Loomis still has her confidence after he was reportedly against firing Dennis Allen last year is somewhat surprising.

Judgment Day is inevitable

They signed a 10 year deal for $300 million in cash, merchandise and NIL funding that starts next year. Penn State is supposed to be Adidas’ biggest college brand.

---

It's gonna be interesting to see if Penn State does better or follows in the footsteps of Nebraska in firing a coach that might lose big games but at least has you in the discussion sometimes with a chance at magic happening.

Case in point - Bo Pelini as head coach at Nebraska had 66 wins; Nebraska has accumulated 55 wins since he was fired. :lol:

I don't know for sure, but I have a guess.

My guess:

But you're missing the key point; he'll never call for Mickey Loomis to be fired.

I think some of the contracts given are for 2 reasons; so the drafting doesn't look so bad (See! He's still on the team! We even extended him!) and so the players hope to get a ton of money and don't try to get Loomis fired by complaining.

I liked the Buccaneers one. Just so you could watch players fall into the pool of water RIGHT past the sideline. :lol:

And the gigantic water fountain and pools . . . in an open air stadium . . . in Buffalo. :speechless:
