The only thing more embarrassing than a spontaneous break-out into song during an otherwise intense and well done episode was the fact that I didn't know what the song was from.
You're nuts. That was the single best moment/scene of the entire season and a contender for the best of the series. You should 100% absolutely be ashamed of yourself for not recognizing the song, though.
It was corny and not the moment of levity that it was intended to be, at least for me. I'm probably in the minority here. I was always afraid to watch the movie that was from and then one day I was too old and said "fuck it. Guess I'm never seeing that one."

Well I didn't say "fuck it," of course. I wasn't old enough to say something like that yet.

Most of the Russian bunker stuff and the four kids was so over the top it lost me a lot but the rest of it was fun.

So I finally watched this season. I enjoyed but have never loved the series as much as others. I'll watch when it returns but I doubt I will re-watch. I was surprised how much they amped some of horror/gore scenes compared to before.
I kept thinking of IT during the big finale with the Mind Flayer.

I can’t wait to binge this thread when I catch up. I’m on S2E2.

That is all.

Same. I didn't realize it until watching the credits scroll after the finale.
