Favorite Random Momentd
I was curious to hear some of everyone's favorite moments. The small, random moments. Not the big notable moments, but random little bits that either make you laugh everytime, stand out to you, makes you think of a friend, feels so genuine, whatever. Any little spot or dialogue.
One of mine is when Emily shows up for Thanksgiving. Johnston is asking Jake if he knew about Eric and Mary and Emily walks in and he catches the way Jake looks at her and then whispers to Gail "I hope April has a girl." And she whips around and gives him the strangest look like "wtf do you mean?"
I think I laugh every single time no matter how many times I see it. Its such a small, random 0art, but I love that moment.

When Gray Anderson and Jimmy show up to question the Hawkins family. It was so awkward and funny and manipulative.
The autumn episodes were so cozy and I love seeing everyone dressed for fall and winter

Hawkins bonding moments with Alyson. Not sure if you can call it bonding maybe more of passing on his knowledge although to him that probably is what passes for bonding with his daughter whose life he has been mostly absent for. Either way I like those scenes.

In the Red Flag episode when Jake & Stanley are investigating the supplies airdropped in the relief effort, Staley says it could be a bomb but Jake scoffed at the idea of parachutes being used to drop bombs!

Lot of Johnston moments for sure, what I also like a lot are two moments:
a) when Mimi is at the hospital worrying because she touched the murky water and she talks to Stanley. She tells him he looks good (for somebody who has been in supposedly radioactive rain) and he just answers that he works out a little bit
b) the moment when Jake and Em meet in the bar after she said goodbye to Jonah. She comes in, sits next to him and then hears that Sinhead O'connor song, the way they look at each other is great, they had great chemistry

A is a great moment, super cute funny moment. And yes, their chemistry was great, thats such a great moment when she realizes he finally remembered what the song was. That almost kiss kills me every time but I appreciate that the show stopped it before it happened so she didnt have that between her and Roger. It was never a true love triangle because as soon as Roger was back they both backed off. She was loyal and Jake respected it and we just dont have enough of that in media. Its always gotta be a love triangle

Agreed. It is one thing I like about the show, it seems to not have too much unnecessary personal drama. The other issues are more prominent. That said, the show didn't run too long so that probably helped with that aspect. Who knows where it would have went, had it been going on for longer.

Mostly Johnston moments - they were often tender and sincere. Like in the pilot when Jake comes back with the bus.
Also, some tonal moments with Jake and Stanley. Where the history of being dumb as kids clearly held some space.
Even when campy, the actors did an amazing job of showing the history through their acting with one another.

The time they were looking for volunteers to go to the fairgrounds and everyone just looks at Jake like they already know that he was the person for it.

(01-05. Federal Response) Jake and Stanley are trying to restore water flow after the Elementary School catches fire. Once they arrive, Jake explains why & how the main pump shut down.
Stanley: What? Dude you're freaking me out, how do you even know that?
Jake: How do you not!?
Skeet's delivery is pitch perfect and floors me every time. Jake was genuinely surprised, and a little offended, that Stanley didn't understand the interworkings of the town's water system.
The "Pool Guy" exchange between Jake & Hawkins later that episode is great too.

"Yeah I was a pool guy, too." 🤣🤣🤣 He does have such a perfect pitch in that delivery, and people who are a jack of all trades kind of person like Jake probably do know how that stuff works. My dad tends to be that way. He surprises me with the things he knows that hes never worked or studied, just learned about it tinkering.
