They could have used that same extended scene to say something passionate and novel about love, or whatever they wanted to convey, and if it drew you in, you wouldn't notice the time elapsed. My personal bugaboo in the opposite direction, has anyone gone back recently and watched the opening minutes of Con-Air? It's almost like a comic book panel, one-shot pitch of the entire backstory for whomever Nic Cage's character was Bam - out of jail Bam - off to honkey tonk Bam - girlfriend Boom - endless love Bash - bad guy Bam - local ruffian Zowee - In front of the judge Wowee - Locked back up Like 30 seconds elapsed. . . . I'm sure it was more like 5 minutes, but still you get the point. |
This isn’t the kind of show I typically give a second thought, and hadn’t. My kids harassed me into trying it and I’m now about halfway through season 3. It’s different and I enjoy the 80s stuff because in theory they’d have been about my age during those years.

I know people have predicted Jonathan die. And now it’s will which seems more plausible. But that seems pretty unfair to Joyce. She was the center of tragedy (or at least my the fear of it) for all of the first 3 seasons.

And when he told him that he was the "heart" of the team, I rolled my eyes and asked my wife why anyone would think that. It was just a stupid plot device that felt too forced and we were just supposed to believe it, just because. |

I thought the red head did a good job. I loved the new Metal D&D guy. Hopper was pretty good. I think the story was twice as good as seasons 2 and 3 but for some reason the execution wasn't. The dialogue was George Lucas bad for quite a bit but I enjoyed the new big bad and thought the actor did a great job. The tubby curly haired kid really pulled it off. He's a solid little actor as well. Overall I think it's the best season since the first even if a few characters seemed to have little to do. |

Spoilers.
My main gripe. Eddie died needlessly. He wasn't saving anyone by staying or running. And did the redhead coming back to life stop the gate from opening fully? |

Like the last few seasons everything is in a 1/2 assed state... |
It definitely felt like the finale was overworked and self indulgent but still highly enjoyable.
My biggest gripe was the Vecna and Eleven interaction when he had her restrained. They nailed everything about Vecna. The perfect menacing character. Costume nailed and everything. Then you have him engaging in some long winded conversation. It was like a death metal state of the union address. Minor gripe I know, it was a fun season to watch. |
Vecna is the Skeletor I’ve always longed for

They seem to have forgotten that 11 could barely communicate when our heroes found her. Yet, years before that she's having long conversations with the villain. They have to tell the story somehow but part of me wishes they would have had those communications be mental or something to explain it. |
Spoiler!
EDIT- Added spoiler just in case, even though it’s probably been long enough and you shouldn’t be reading this thread if worried about spoilers. |
Another reason I went back to watch is because people were saying Will got a bloody nose at the end, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t. It was just a shadow.

Finally reached Chapter 8. Hoping to finally wrap this up so i can participate in this thread. To this point i've surprisingly been able to hide from spoilers. Ive been binge watching all week, starting at season 3. Hope to wrap it up tonight.

So Vecna is awesome. I love great monster design and he's a good one. Much better than the Hamburger Monster of season 3.
As far as Eddie's death goes, i like to think that he ran away from the trailer to lure the bats away from being able to enter through the portal. Had he fled through the portal the bats woulda chased him into the real world. That's what im going with at least. Otherwise, yeah, that death was pointless and stupid. |
Eddie HAD to die. He was a tragic character from the beginning. I mean, if he had lived, what kind of life would he have come back to in Hawkins? There would still be a manhunt for him since half the town (and now apparently the news media) blames him for opening some 'portal to hell'. I think the Duffer brothers did the best they could with killing him off in the upside down. And at least they gave him an epic guitar solo that will always be remembered before he died. So there's that.
Max being 'brought back to life' (if you wanna call it that) is kind of stupid. It trivializes her death and sacrifice. Now I guess if they're using that for the plot device of 'well, because she isn't totally forever dead' the portal between dimensions isn't totally forever open, then I guess I see it a little bit, but still think there's a better direction they could have gone with than that (IF that is even what they're doing). Can't wait to see what they do with Season 5 . . . . . |

I just finished Stranger Things. The Russia storyline was the biggest waste of time ever. It was a good season though better than 3 but I liked 2 the best. All of the seasons are pretty good though.
That episode with Max almost dying earlier in the season had me in the edge of my seat. So good. Hope she doesn't die in a future episode because I like her character. |

I just started watching this so Im behind a little. Midway thru S3.
Show's starting to get a little repetitive and predictable. I do like the police chief character though. |

To me S3 was the low point. Season 4 is the best since the 1st season. IMO the best thing Netflix has ever made... |
