Love it! Snakes in a church.  And maybe it will be an Edmund-style 
plot - I hope we get Turkish Delight and Father Christmas.

Oh, Alla, I think we're way past wine by now.  I thinking 
hallucinogenics are needed.

I read another interview where the director/screenwriter chose to 
make Will American to emphasize his status as an "outsider."  I 
would guess that's also why we see mean siblings and parents.  But 
really, the part that was so interesting about Will is that he is 
perfectly happy as Will.  It's not like Harry Potter where going to 
Hogwarts is the only bright spot in his life.  Will doesn't need to 
be an Old One.  But he has no choice.  He will need to leave his 
family someday and see everyone he loves die.

I suppose they took the storyline where Hawkins is talking to Maggie 
just before he turns to the Dark and made it into a romance.  Blech.

I have no idea why Max needs to be bad.  Double blech.
