Yes, book form at any regular book retailer (Amazon, B&N, Target, Walmart). It's the third of four official novels there have been so far.
Suspicious Minds - how Eleven's mother got involved in the project
Darkness on the Edge of Town - Hopper's past as a detective in NYC
Runaway Max - Max backstory
Rebel Robin - Robin backstory
Lucas on the Line, from Lucas's perspective after Season 3, will come out in July
There’s also a rebel Robin podcast.

Beside “Caboose” being the word Rebecca couldn’t remember, one of the kids was reading the Little Golden Book “Caboose” that Rebecca’s dad read to her. Which started the whole caboose story.
Beth was reading it and set it aside as she spoke to Rebecca.

He was an asshole. How do you hold a lawyer in contempt when he’s trying to defend his client.?
Yeah, there should’ve been a change in venue. The judge was biased against the lawyer and I think the jury was influenced by how popular Candy was in the community and how unpopular Betty was.

People who know more about legal stuff than I do- can a judge hold a lawyer in contempt for objecting like that?
also, it was totally the lawyer Candy had the second affair with, right?
ETA after seeing the last “update”: holy crap she became a mental health counselor?!

On a much less serious note, I’m actually loving the fact that Candy has a panty line when she’s wearing her volleyball shorts. Bc, she would! That mom/granny panty line was the norm then. When you wore your hose on Sunday you probably didn’t have one but most of the other times? Yep.

I gotta say, this show is difficult to watch when you think about the kids. First, the baby left alone for hours to cry. And that sweet little girl who has no idea the woman she's staying with killed her mother.
And in the second episode -- poor Davey! Maybe there was more to the story in real life, as to why the Gores couldn't care for him, but this was just appalling. Betty decides to "return" him on his birthday and Allan just goes along with it?? The kid is obviously struggling and acting out, but they had no business taking in a child if they weren't willing to deal with a seven year old having a tantrum on a disappointing birthday (and, honestly, even the most well-adjusted little kid is going to have bad moments sometimes). I was feeling for Betty up until this moment, and she's certainly not getting the support she needs, but good grief. You can't just return a kid like you're returning something to the store!
Other than that, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills watching this show. It has this very odd, dreamy and slow quality ... and this relentless focus on early 80s kitsch ... and yet it's about an axe murder. It's so very, very strange.
Well I certainly don’t agree with the choices the Gores made re: Davey, I am glad that Betty recognized she was not equipped to handle the situation and that it was in his best interest to be placed elsewhere. I don’t think she was prepared for the emotional trauma that comes with fostering. Her statement “I just can’t handle one more person in this house that doesn’t want to be here” shows she’s feeling completely overwhelmed. I honestly don’t think she trusted herself not to get physical with Davey the next time he acted out. Her body language as well as Allen’s (I felt he moved closer to her in order to head her off if needed) when Davey acted out over the birthday indicated she was barely restraining herself IMO. Having him leave before she became physical with him was the best she felt she could do at the moment.
that said, she is woefully underprepared to foster and doesn’t seem to understand children AT ALL. Who would think a boy would want to give out birthday invites with raggedy Ann? He’s already “different”, there’s no way he’d want to appear more so!

Well, here’s my take on Betty as we’ve seen so far.
She suffers from anxiety and is very insecure. She’s an introvert who has trouble connecting with others.
She was a mediocre teacher who wasn’t very well liked by her students. She didn’t particularly enjoy her job, but it gave her purpose and something to do.
when she was let go from her job she struggled to find something to fill those hours.
Her husband is forced to pick up extra hours at work by traveling in order to make up for her loss of income but she doesn’t like him traveling Bc she struggles with being alone and Bc her anxiety and insecurity make her imagine that he’s cheating.
She suggests fostering to try and fill her hours but can not connect or relate to the child. In addition, her anxiety makes it difficult for her to deal with the disruption that a child from a traumatic background brings to her life. It seems obvious that her bio daughter has learned that falling in line and not being disruptive means harmony in the home.
a second bio child doesn’t bring fulfillment either, it brings more anxiety and PPD. She struggles to connect emotionally and falls further into depression.
I don’t know that I particularly LIKE Betty, but I do feel sorry for her. She is suffering from mental illness at a time when there was little help for it. She wants to make a difference or impact but can seem to figure out how. She feels like an outsider and desperately wants to be a part of things, but doesn’t know how to break into “the group” and her poor mental health just make it even more difficult for her.
her husband, even before the affair, appears to be minimally supportive. After the affair, he leaves her alone with the baby for several days KNOWING in what poor shape she is mentally. It’s obvious from his reactions that he initially thought she has taken her own life. If you knew she was in a place where this might even be something she would consider, why in the world would you go off and leave her alone?anyway, I get that she doesn’t initially come across as warm and fuzzy, but I don’t think she’s necessarily being vilified- I think they are just trying to show how sad and unhappy she was no matter what face she was putting on for the public. (Like all the people you see on social media posting about how perfect their spouse is on a daily basis and then, 4 months later, they file for divorce).
that seems to be the overall theme- no one is how they seem. Pastor is having an affair, Betty is desperately sad, Candy is undersexed and understimulatd, Allen feels confined and is eager to get out of the house..,

How is this storyline still going on?!?!
Helen has a stroke and recovers in a week, but the stupid hospital admin hangs around forever?

Holy cow, (or hippo) Oscar Isaac is absolutely tremendous in this. I have been vastly underestimating his ability. I don’t want it to end.

“I squished it! I squished it!” May be my favorite line thus far in the show.

Has Philip been played by the same actor the entire time or has it changed since his first appearance?

I think Steven/Marc has the most messed up superhero life in the MCU, and that’s saying A LOT. I am loving F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu.
Yeah, at least Wade is aware of his voices and chooses to lean into the crazy. He makes it work for him.
Steven still has very little idea what is actually going on and is actively working against his alter. Which doesn’t seem to be going very well for him… embrace the insanity, Steven! Then treat yourself to a chimichanga! It works for Wade!

If you don't have a little background into the character, the first episode might be maddeningly confusing.
The music is awesome, though.
And poor Steven.
Steven (with a v) is SO confused. Bless.

Are we allowed to give background info from the comics that hasn’t been explicitly stated in the show yet? Or is that verboten?

Hey, it's Dr. Hirai from Star Trek Discovery. I know he's been in lots of other stuff, but I just saw him on that earlier today.
That was my thought too! Well, it was more like, “dang he got back to earth fast”

Briscoe/Green will always be my favorite partnership, they were a fantastic pairing with outstanding chemistry, they will never be matched IMO. I would love to see Green appear again and find out what he’s up to, as long as they don’t shit on him they way they did on Jamie Ross in the premiere. It really pisses me off when they bring back a character just to make them look bad or OOC.
I think partly it was because Jerry and Jesse were so close in real life. Their care for each other off screen carried over on screen.

I am really curious how they are going to handle the wedding with no Murray. As uninvolved a parent as he was/is, no way do I believe he wouldn’t walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.

When I watched the first episode and saw that Harold was a father separated from his son, I’ll admit I wanted him to yell “Waaaaaalllllt”.
I watched the first three episodes on Prime and enjoyed them though I could do with a bit less of the flayed bodies thanks ever so much. I hope the rest will be available there as well.
Also, I know that there is a lot of talk about it being similar to Lost, but I get much more of a Wayward Pines vibe.

S04.E02: Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse
in Stranger Things
So, is Will gay and scared to tell Mike bc he’s unsure of his reaction?
or is Will gay and also has a crush on/feelings for Mike and scared to tell him bc he knows Mike isn’t gay and it could very easily ruin their friendship?
