What did you think would happen?
Now I’m watching season too and the good Dr is being consumed in this season too.
I will say there is a bunch of Dr Pepper product placement in this season of Stranger Things too.

Even by episode 2 two things are pretty clear in this rewatch:
1. The homages to movies like E.T.
2. Some of the aspects that come up later in the series (like the many ways Will is “different.”)

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
