First off I just wanna offer my prayers and condolences for Andrew and his family. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you're doing well. Regarding the episode, there's a specific piece of music used when Hopper talks about the Vietnam War and losing Sarah. I recognized it the first time I saw this episode. It was from composer Mark Isham for his main theme from The Hitcher. It's a beautiful piece of music in my opinion and is an equally excellent yet underrated film

There is no redemption for a man who kidnaps a baby, gives her mother brain damage, and then imprisons and studies her for 14 years.

Man major respect to Andrew for still doing the reaction today even with his father’s unfortunate passing not too long ago. If he took this week off and didn’t react today I would’ve had no problem with it but he still chose to do the reaction today when he didn’t need to because of what happened. Major respect to the dude and my condolences to his family.

Omg I’m so sorry for your loss Andrew. I just lost my best friend, my everything, my grandmother two months ago but it feels like yesterday. I know exactly what you’re going through but never forget your happiest moments. Replay them in your head but also remember what you learned from that person. Hold that close and continue to apply it in your everyday life. You are an inspiration and we’re all here for you ❤️❤️ sending hugs 🫂

The monologue from David Harbour @ 17:32 -19:37 is some of the best acting this show has seen. Bar none. The dude is brilliant.

Aw, I love how you caught on to the whole Mike and Will thing! I totally thought you wouldn't - most reactors don't. I'm excited to see what you'll think of that whole situation in the rest of the season
