Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 7— Chapter 7: The Bite — A Review

25th July, 2019.


Yes: that video was made at roughly 20:00, this evening.

And, yes: apparently?

It was supposed to be raining.



Was, I emphasise.


Right at the moment … ?



The best way I can describe the weather … ?

Is by saying “It’s muggy … ”

~≈¥≈~



The kind of muggy that means two things, as far as I’m concerned.

Firstly?

It’s the second time in as many days that I’ve had two showers.

And secondly?

I watch TV with the windows open, again … 

Yes: watching series 3 of Stranger Things … 

~≈¥≈~

Episode 7 — Chapter Seven: The Bite — shows us Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) realising that the Mind Flayer is pursuing her: for it’s defeat in series two.

Will (Finn Wolfhard) agrees with her: and is the first to realise the Beast is coming.

Meanwhile, Dustin and Erica (Gaten Matarazzo, Priah Ferguson) have managed to rescue Steve and Robin (Joe Keery, Maya Hawke): who are both, very slowly, recovering from their treatment at the hands of the Russians.

Hopper (David Harbour) and his band … ?

Head for the fun fare: they need to get Alexei (Alec Utgoff) to safety: little knowing Alexei’s former employers are ALSO coming.

Mike, Eleven and the gang, finally get to somewhere they feel safe.

Which is where Eleven … collapses … 

Ever get the feeling she’s in trouble … ?

~≈¥≈~

Now … 

This is a fantastic little episode: one complete with a scene where Steve get’s the loveliest let down ever.


I have to give Joe Keery HUGE credit, there: just that look?



Was spot on.



The same goes for Maya Hawke, in fact!

Let’s face it: how many of us haven’t been there, at some point?



As fantastic as this episode is — and The Bite is certainly that — that scene puts the proverbial tin lid on it.

Now … I have to admit I want to see the finale of this series.

I’d like to see if there’s another scene like that … !
