I kept yelling for Steve to finish him off with the axe. But we had to have the girl power demonstration.


You know, just because a woman is active in destroying a monster it isn’t automatically “girl power”.

Was anybody else screaming “just throw it!” when Robin was lighting the Molotov when Vecna was ALREADY ON FIRE


She had a much better throwing motion than Steve

I think Vecna is in Max’s body and Max is dead. Sadie Sink will be back in season five but she’s now Vecna setting off a showdown between her and Eleven.


Her mind is definitely lost. El tried to make contact with her in her mind and there was nothing there.

Her body is just a hollow shell at this point.

“I can’t see or feel anything!” when she came back was an absolutely brutal line. I can’t get it out of my head.

Episode 8 seemed like all star wars to me.
El's "training suit" looked like stormtrooper armor.
Her lifting the pod with the force.
The entrance of the army into the corridor was just like the beginning of A New Hope.

Well she didn’t really finish him off did she? She half assed it, shot him in the shoulders like six times, and Vecna got away.

Once Eleven brought Max back to life (well, brought her back to life and into a coma), the portals closed. But then at the very end, the portals had reopened.

I’m fairly certain Max is gone. In the hospital, Eleven went mind hopping and couldn’t find Max. The portal opened because Mindflayer is trapped in Max’s body.



This would tie back into it all being because of Elle quite nicely. By feeling the need to save Max, Elle inadvertently left the door open for Vecna. “You’ve already lost” probably knowing it would be in Elle’s nature to save Max

The Duffer Bros. have said in interviews that they'll explain why the Upside Down is frozen in time in Season 5.

They also said there will be a time jump in Season 5 which I'm wary of. Not sure how that'll work


Perhaps since time is frozen in the upside down, and the portal between Hawkins and the upside down is now open time will stand still in Hawkins. Five years pass, but nobody in Hawkins ages…something like that. Hawkins is effectively frozen in time as of the “earthquake”

Just finished 8. That Nancy chick is going to die soon, and I don't mean the character. Holy shite, she looks bad. They're barely able to conceal the pock marks on her face.

The show continues to be great, but there are still some setting errors. People in Iowa in 1987 didn't say 'dude' much less 'my dude' and the Army didn't start using Humvees until 1989.

Also, they started playing boomer music from the 60's. Irritating.

Don't get me wrong, I love Stranger Things, but if that is in your top 3-5 series of all time, you need to leave the movie board, or we just do away with this shite board altogether. I'm thinking the latter. This place is a cesspool of idiots.


This is such a strange thing to be upset about

Another thing, the Will to Jonathan talk was extremely awkward … like they just need to come out and say he’s gay. dudes got a huge crush on Mike


I took it a different way at the beginning of the season with Mike being gone. I’m probably wrong, because Hollywood/netflix, but I was really hoping for a rope a dope.

Jonathan calls out that Will is gay, and Will is befuddled/confused…it’s Elle that he’s fallen for, and that’s what he’s struggling with

I think They leave it open for her mind to come back.

It’s interesting thought because she lived through the Vecna attack and talked to Lucas. As far as we know Vecna hasn’t attacked her sense and medically she didn’t die.

Yeah… that ain’t it.

Will is gay.

Season one Hoyce tells the biological dad that she knows he is “different”

Season 2 or 3 Mike yelling “I’m sorry you don’t like girls”

He did his project this season on Allen Turing

The whole “you feel like a mistake” speech.

He’s gay.

He’s also 14 in a small town in the 80s. Its gonna take a lot for him to come out.

Yeah, wishful thinking on my part. Like I said, I’m probably wrong. Call me old fashioned, but just once it would be nice not to have gay shoehorned into my entertainment

Lucas literally says the doctors said she died and her heart stopped for a full minute and couldn’t explain how she came back.

Old fashioned would be a nice way to put it.

But also Robin is a lesbian so.

Right. Quotas met

And Robin’s character doesn’t bother me at all, it felt organic.

A gay character existing in a show isn’t gay people being shoehorned grow up

Don’t get me wrong, Dawg, Sammy. I’m not throwing a fit. I don’t care if Will is gay, it doesn’t matter at all.

Just what does it contribute to the story? Maybe he sacrifices himself to save Mike, who knows, but wouldn’t he do that as a friend anyway? The plot line itself just doesn’t add to the overall story for me personally. There’s enough content and complexity to hash out without adding odd monologues, poorly acted, of Will crying.

I digress. Didn’t mean to derail the thread

boys, looking forward to season 5, whenever that may come

Best season easily. I was cracking up so much when Will handed Mike a drawing/painting of him like I had referenced with the Wedding Crashers gif earlier in the season. Nailed it!

Eddie was the man and it hit me in the final episode that he’s like a young Robert Downey Jr. I’m sure he will get a lot of new roles.

Was definitely expecting Steve to die along with Max and Eddie and kept waiting for a Nightmare on Elm St ending with someone dying at the very end.

Awesome, awesome season.
