When I first saw Stranger Things I thought, “this is nostalgia bait ET that steals the visuals and concept (but not the point) of Silent Hill” and while all that is still true, the one thing I cannot get past is why someone would keep the number-as-name label applied by people who kept you in a box and treated you like shit? First thing I do if I break out of the lab as a telekinetic teen is give myself a cool ass name like “Starfire” or “Beth”. I definitely wouldn’t be like, “you can just call me a number. That’s fine.” But I only watched the first season, and I did so in the “Netflix Style” of fucking around on my phone while it was on, so maybe they addressed this. ---

Not really. The first series was the one that was the best conceived. ---

Sometimes you just get used to the name that you grow up with and it can’t be replaced. I know somebody whose hippie parents thought he should pick his own name when he was old enough - like 7, I think. So in the meantime they just called him Child. Guess what his name is to this day. ---

That guy should change their name over time.“No-Longer Child”, “The Artist Formerly Know as Child”, “Dude Who Was Once Child”, “Sweet Child o Mine” I mean, my kid calls me “Unc” now, which I’m told is not complimentary. ---
