Brown as Eleven and David Harbour as Jim Hopper are just several of the characters that deliver a thrilling plot full of relationships, drama, and excitement. |
The actor from the famous “It” movie, Finn Wolfhard, blows the audience away by showing a side of Mike Wheeler’s personality that isn’t the group leader as seen in the first season. Wolfhard taps into his darker side to portray the sadness that he feels in result of the end of Season One. |
But with more financial freedom comes the risk of overdoing it. In Episode Seven, Eleven goes through a major coming-of-age experience that was important for Brown’s overall character development, but in the end proved to the viewer that sometimes less can be more. |
Season Two also dives deeper into the personal lives of all the characters other than just Wheeler. Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin gave the audience a laugh with their competitive relationship and ever-changing friendship to show the audience a view inside their characters’ lives. |
Matarazzo’s character, Dustin Henderson, begins to let the audience find out more about what type of home he comes from. His on-screen mom, played by Catherine Curtain, sets up the typical mama’s boy relationship brought to life with great chemistry and acting from both Matarazzo and Curtain. |
McLaughlin’s character, Sinclair, has a much more prominent role in this season than in Season One. We meet his little sister, Erica, played by Priah Ferguson, who excellently depicts the role of the annoying little sister in the Sinclair household. |
When the Duffer brothers wove in more knowledge of the characters into the plot, there was more of an understanding and connection between viewers and the characters themselves. I loved that a huge part of Season Two was dedicated to character development in all of the personalities. |
New characters like Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield and Dacre Montgomery as Billy Hargrove allowed more relationships to flourish other than just Wheeler’s and Eleven’s (Between who, you ask? I’m not going to spoil it for you, go watch the series on Netflix). |
One of the most notable things that happened in this season was the excellent acting that Noah Schnapp and Winona Ryder brought to the screen. Portraying Will and Joyce Byers, Schnapp and Ryder took their roles seriously by acting with dedication, and it shows. |
In Season One, Ryder pulled on the fans’ heartstrings as Joyce was just starting to cope with losing Will. Season Two was just as good. There was now a sense that Joyce knew what she was dealing with (the antagonist in “Stranger Things”) and took more of a “strong mama” personality, putting all her strength and will in... |
You see a relationship form between her and her son that seems so real it’s hard to believe that the two aren’t related in real life. |
Winona’s on-screen son, played by Schnapp, does a tremendous job bringing life to his character, Will. There are scenes in Season Two that look like they could only be done only with special effects or by manipulating props, but they were all thanks to Schnapp’s unbelievable acting. |
Season Two truly blew me away with outstanding acting from the whole cast, and the plot and character development made the show that much more compelling and interesting for viewers. A huge bravo to the Duffer brothers and the executive producer and director, Shawn Levy, for a rollercoaster of a season with plenty of l... |
Chief of the Air Staff, CAS, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, has assured that officers and men of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, on peace mission in Mali would do the nation proud. |
Badeh spoke to newsmen, yesterday, at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, after addressing some 66 Air Force personnel shortly before they were airlifted to Mali for peace keeping operations. |
He said that NAF’s mission in Mali was to promote peace in that country. |
He said President Goodluck Jonathan approved a total of 1,200 troops drawn from the Army, Navy and Air Force, for the operations, pointing out that his men were well prepared for the mission. |
Badeh said the Air Force would airlift more of its men from Kaduna and other parts of the country for the foreign operation. |
Is your neighborhood in need of a slide? How about some swings? How about $15,000 to help make that playground a reality? |
The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and KaBoom!, a national organization promoting fun and healthy play for kids, especially through playgrounds, are looking for needy communities to help in their quest to spread the joy of playgrounds. |
The organizations are providing $15,000 grants to help fund equipment for communities "with a demonstrated need for a playground, as well as the project’s impact on the area and its capacity to engage the community." |
In addition to the $15,000, the grantees will also receive help in planning, executing and mainting their playgrounds from KaBoom! and some of their alumni who have also recieved grants for playgrounds in the past. |

They joined together to pray and share memories of the 16-year-old. |
Poole was fun-loving kid with a childlike personality, his cousin Jarvis Brown said. |
"He wasn't no bad kid," friend Chynna Donald said. "He was just childish. He was goofy." |
"One time he danced all the way from a basketball game to a McDonald's," friend Anfrenee Bonner said. |
Poole's immediate family did not attend the vigil. |
Donald said his family is having a tough time grieving but is "trying to stay strong." |

The archbishop of San José, José Rafael Quirós, downplayed the fall in the reputation of the Catholic Church after turbulent months during which a priest was arrested at the border, an international arrest warrant was issued to another and authorities raided the buildings of the Metropolitan Curia and the Episcopal Con... |
The Church sustained the largest drop in its image over the last six years, according to the latest survey from the Center for Research in Political Studies (CIEP-UCR), after falling from a grade of 6.5 points (out of 10 possible) last November to 5.5 in March. |
Despite this, the archbishop said he expects to see “many people committed” to the Catholic Church and predicts a broad participation in Holy Week, or Semana Santa, which began April 14. |
Quirós is under ecclesiastical investigation after two people accused him in October of alleged cover-up of sexual crimes. These men denounced Mauricio Víquez for abusing them when they were teenagers and said Quirós had known about the events since 2003. |
The accusations against the Víquez — who is wanted by Interpol — and the actions of the Catholic Church in the face of complaints of sexual abuse have been widely questioned in the last five months. |
The Church, citing the right to a defense, warned Víquez of a criminal complaint against him, which led to his escape from the country Jan. 7. |
In the same month, the former priest of the parish of San Isidro de Heredia, Sidar Monge, was sentenced to six years in prison for abusing an altar boy in 2009. |
In March, Semanario Universidad reported on the case of a young man who reported being abused and assaulted by priest Jorge Arturo Morales between 2009 and 2011. Days after telling his story, the student filed a criminal complaint and the priest was arrested in the border of Paso Canoas when trying to leave the country... |
The student, the victims of Víquez and other young people have alleged the Catholic Church has pressured them to prevent the filing of criminal complaints, and they have spoken of a system that plays against the victims and conceals alleged abusers. |
