i love how the scenes summer has with tai and raven actually kinda... mirror? one another, like. they have similar beats:
first, the focus is on summer before tai / raven arrive -> "it's not like you to rush off on a mission in the middle of the night." / "nobody suspect anything?" and summer answers (i think tai did suspect something tho lol) -> a moment of levity that summer joins tai in, but doesn't banter back with raven -> tai / raven shows concern, tho tai doesn't verbalize it while raven does -> summer alleviates tai's concerns, placing her hand on his cheek and comforting him: "i'll be back soon." tai believes her; summer does no such thing with raven at first ("you're one to talk."), before attempt was made while she simultaneously shoulder checks raven: "if i do this right... then there's nothing to worry about. trust me."
which. summer wasn't back Soon™ either, so add that to the pile of Bad Vibes That "Trust Me" Is Giving.

Still I am so baffled when people say season 3 is the worst season when it has given us Babygirl™️?? The audacity to look at Steve Harrington with glossy lips, highlights and cute shorts and be like “uh worst time in stranger things history”???
Not to be dramatic but me and Noah Shnapp will hunt you if you say that again

The article this quote was in is a review of the two major Doctor Faustus productions in Britain in 2016 and one thing that it underscores (it opens with a scholarly quote about Faustus as "the quintessential consumer") is the very secular nature of the temptations with which each production's antihero grapples: although both have their roots in the text, the spiritual struggle seems to be downplayed and in the Harington production, Faustus' ultimate desire is celebrity; in the RSC production, it's suicide.
As you all know, I like to complain about efforts to secularize DF and one thing I think would be really cool in production would be to just lean into an evangelical/midwest gothic/fundamentalist aesthetic (a reasonably old-timey one so you can put a bunch of Sacred Harp songs into the soundtrack*) and ALSO into the homoeroticism--but the secret sauce is that this is to underscore that Faustus' pact with the devil and ensuing shenanigans are, ultimately, liberating. If you're a queer intellectual in a fundagelical universe, sometimes facing God and walking backwards into hell really is your best option.
*obviously I have not already picked out the exact ones to use, why would you think that

Gaslighter - The Chicks
You just had to start a fire, had to start a fire
Couldn't take yourself on a road a little higher
Had to burn it up, had to tear it down
Tried to say I'm crazy
Babe, we know I'm not crazy
