people forget hopper would have more than likely shattered wills rib cage with how he was pounding on him in the first season finale lmao
That was up there with Lost for bad CPR that ends up working, although I guess both could theoretically make excuses of something supernatural going on.
Finally finished the season tonight and yeah, this was the best season so far. Don't really have much to add that others haven't already said but literally everyone in the cast are such good actors, these kids have such bright futures
Overall a solid season. My favorite plotline was Dustin/Erica/Steve/Robin mall spying. I enjoyed seeing the dynamics of the kids change as they get older. The reading of the letter in the finale had me tearing up. I'm kind of bummed that Billy just turned into a generic villain, but I was hoping for more of an exploration into his toxic masculinity. They gave us little more depth, but nothing all that substantial to the point where I felt his redemption was earned. Maybe I just don't remember the previous two seasons, but there seemed to be waaay too much deus ex machina going on this season. Though I suppose it was just to play up these types of tropes. I'm looking forward to Hopper's escape from Russia. I can see Billy's coming back somehow too.
I definitely don't see Billy coming back to life, that seemed very final. I also thought he was a very generic villain in S2 as well :P
Yeah the actor who plays Billy said he's 100% done. And I think he was supposed to be generic in the style of those classic bullies from the 80's teen movies? His appearance at least (Blonde mullet, the earrings he wore etc.) was copied from Rob Lowe in some teen 'coming of age' movie I forget the name of.
Billy is super duper dead and I’m fine with that. I guess maybe they could bring him back for a flashback or as some kind of hallucination just to have Dacre on one more time, but his story is done.
Season 3 just helped decide everyone's Halloween costumes for sure. We're going to see so many Scoops Ahoy uniforms, Hopper in the button down, and one of the several Eleven 80s looks. I'm already seeing them all over the Internet for purchase.
Just finished the third season, and I can say that I finally like this show as much as everyone else.
That beard and hair are getting even wilder! Hopefully that means we'll be seeing Hopper after being held in captivity in Russia.
