It’s not the first time they haven’t quite got the D&D stuff right. Doesn’t really bother me as much as some other stuff does (like Russians in full Soviet military uniforms hiding under a middle American town).

Agreed. He's drawing his power from another source, not his lineage, which is definitely Warlock.

I think the general public will be more familiar with the term sorcerer than psion. That’s probably why they chose the former.

Yeah, I hadn't gotten up to that point in the show yet. I've now seen all 4 episodes, so I know the "young Will" being referred to now. The Duffer bros did a fantastic job finding little kids who resemble Noah and Finn.
