Eleven, but not in the Upside Down

I've been meaning to write a post about my feelings/thoughts on Stranger Things, and I'll get to that eventually. (TL;DW: I loved it, I care about Barb, and I wish the next season were a completely different story instead of a continuation of this one because the loose threads were perfectly spooky)

And yes, TempleCon was the Eleventh, which I did write about as well.

But there's another Eleven coming up in the next weeks, and I expect to be blogging about this one, too.

Back in 2012 I had a pretty good time blogging about RDX as it aired, and overanalyzing it to the extreme.. Hopefully XI will also have enough potentially-overthinkable content to be entertaining here.
I've read the official episode summaries, and my expectations aren't all that high...
But I have no choice except to watch :)

In 2012 I relied on torrents to get the episodes as they aired. This time around, I'm going to try using one of those location-masking VPN services and stream them directly. We'll see how that goes.
