re: Stranger Things Season 5 Discussion Thread - EP 1-7 Released, Finale on 12/31

Episode 7 - great opening scene. Always great to have Murray and the science teacher on screen. OMG major props to the writers. Not many people know this outside of Reggie Miller and Pacer fans but in 1987 there was this massive meltdown because the pacers shunned its local hero/phenom Steve Alford and took this kid named Reggie Miller who was booed when they drafted him. Reggie became the greatest Pacer to ever live. That scene in itself makes this episode a success so far. I even knew reggie went 4-6 from the field with 10 points his first game in the NBA. That scene in itself cancels out all of this queer/woke stuff.
Linda Hamilton might be the most useless new cast member. I do agree there are just too many main characters at this point. This was the worst episode of the season.

WOW. That was one of the worst scenes in tv history. Woke liberals will ruin everything. Why the frick would they think that was a good idea. Luckily that's all it was a moment. A 5 minute embarrassing moment out of 46 total hours.
That scene alone losses a letter grade. Without that scene the episode would be just ok.

7.4 out of 10.

The 40k trolls and bots voting it a 1 out of 10 from other countries haven't watched the show. One more episode to see if they land the ending. If they do people will forget about that terrible scene. That scene alone will take it out of my top 5 overall but it still has a chance to land in the top 10 overall if they nail the ending.

You’re trying too hard not to show your 420’s alter and it’s not working. Either way, that aside, it’s unbelievable just how bad you miss the point with this. It’s not actual run time that matters, it’s that they are changing the entire story simply because Will is gay. Being gay literally gave him super powers It’s not just the coming out scene, it’s the fact that they feel it is extremely important to explore his sexuality at the most important part of the series. Not just explore it, but make it a focal point. It’s so dumb. Legit one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen writers of a good show do.

that's why I said it's one of the worst scenes in tv history baw

And you were sunshine pumping it before you watched it. Same thing. It’s getting so many 1 star votes because it’s the worst episode of the show so far. Pretty simple.

No it wasn't. Episode 7 season 2 was the worst episode of the show. Scoring it a 1 is just trolling and all because of the terrible terrible 5 minute woke scene.
I said I'd bet my mortgage this episode wouldn't be anywhere near a 1 out of 10. Once again I was right. That scene was a 1 out of 10 but the episode was a 7.4 overall.

We are almost caught up. Still have Ep 7 to go, but so far it has ranged from really great action, to awfully boring speeches. And too many scenes of the group talking about their plans, which inevitably never work because of some unforeseen variable.

Will and Robin talking in the tunnel, and again at the radio tower. Nancy and Jonathan sitting on a table in a building that is turning into a white goo around them. Dustin and Steve on the staircase when Dustin starts bawling crying in Steve's arms. Anytime Robin goes off on a rant.

I get the need for dialogue to move things along, but it always seems to happen when something obviously more important is going on around them. It is at the end of the last season, we don't necessarily need character development anymore, we all want to see some final battle or endgame.
