OT: New avatar

[HuskyNan]

I changed my avatar again and, as requested, am posting to explain who is in the photo.

When my youngest son came home from college before Christmas, he told my husband and me that there were some great series on Netflix. One, Stranger Things, features a young girl named Eleven. Eleven is the girl in my avatar.

Stranger Things is a sci fi/horror series that is extremely well done. It's a PG type horror so it's safe for all. There's only one gross scene in Season One and it wasn't that bad. We found out that the Duffer Brothers, who created the series, said that they got some advice from Stephen King and once we learned that, we could see the King influence, juxtaposing the ordinary with the supernatural. We are hooked and rather bereft because Season 3 won't be released until late 2018 or early 2019.

We started working our way through Daredevil. Definitely not PG. We tried The Crown and while the production is gorgeous, it's too PBS'y for people that were watching something a bit more exciting.

I saw some jokes saying that UFC strawweight champion "Thug" Rose Namajunas looks like Eleven and now I can't unsee it.

NAN I love the new avatar.

I'm a huge fan of the show. Google young Max Guevara from Dark Angel. The similarities are absolutely uncanny in looks and character.

I liked 11 a lot. She is well played by the young actress. It's a fun show for sure. If you have Hulu, your kids might enjoy "The Runaways". It's a Marvel production and pretty PG IMHO, but well acted and they go deep in exploring the characters etc.

My kids are 23 and 20, believe it or not. They watch what they want.

I say believe it or not because long time posters have been hearing about my kids since they were toddlers. Heck, I can’t believe they’re 23 and 20!

Oooh. The only reason I phrased it that way was because you spent some time in your OP talking about the show being PG and only having 1 scene that was questionable etc. LOL. I did not know you had kids that age. Congrats!

Great show and Millie Bobbie Brown, who plays Eleven is quite gifted. The entire cast is very good.

One of my favorite UFC women.

 

[meyers7]

I always kinda liked 13

 

[HuskyNan]

Or Seven (of Nine)? (I love House. One of the best shows ever)

 

[meyers7]

Never really watched Voyager (maybe I should have). Wife watched House all the time. (and of course I liked his smart@ssery).

 

[jimazee]

'two ones', 'one one' or simply 'ones'... a good number

I still have a personal affinity to it from years ago when it was worn by a fav young athlete I followed...when they were young that is.

I got hooked quickly on Stranger Things. Hard to believe that Milly is 13 years old.
