* AwesomeMcCoolname: Will the Dufffer Brothers, even with all the freedom that comes from naming fictional characters, ever be able to top the real names Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown?

A simple search reveals that to have come from his [[http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/reagan/stories/speech.archive/lebgre.html address to the nation on Lebanon and Grenada]] from October, 27 1983.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Flashlights used in various nighttime searches produce very modern blue-white beams of light. Ironically, they'd have been a lot less noticeable if they hadn't been in use next to period-correct devices which produce beams of light in a visibly much redder spectrum. Probably necessary to allow for minimal additional lighting.
