I don't understand why Eddie did what he did, they were already in the clear. I get that there was nothing else for his character to do and it was predictable for his arc, but that made no sense.

Also these episodes are way too damn long

 

Yea, there doesn’t seem to be any reason that he didn’t go with Dustin and then block the gate.

 

Season 5 has been announced as the final season.

 

what the fuck did i ever do to you

 

At least we got some Metallica

 

I haven't finished the finale, but the Master Of Puppets sequence was my favorite in the whole series so far.

 

I could watch the Master of Puppets scene forever

 

would be cool to see that song get the same boost with the public as Running has, but I doubt it

 

Journey put the remix on their official youtube channel

 

This show is just amazing. So good. Loved every second. The Metallica scene ruled.

 

I like that we were all scared Steve would die and he ended up basically being non-entity. I found a lot of this gripping, but by the 15th flashback montage, it’s clear that the Duffers hit their ceiling of creativity with the “Running Up That Hill” sequence and don’t know how to do anything interesting when Eleven is added back into the equation.

 

The last 2 were perfect. Scared the fuck out of me with max, that would have actually been too sad imo. I loved Nancy going full Sarah Connor. Loved the ending scene with the flowers dying.

main characters don’t have to die for a show to be good.

the final season just has to be a full scale war against 001/ the upside down

 

I agree characters don’t have to die for it to be good, but fake out deaths do it make it bad.

 

Yeah, agreed. That was like TROS Chewbacca moment. I am glad that we’ll get more Max.

 

100%. Kill Mike, keep Max.

 

These fake ass rug pull Chewbacca deaths are so cheap

 

Hopper should've died last season and Eddie should've lived this season

 

Haven’t read the last few pages because I still have 9 to go but I’m glad I started this last night (yea…stayed up last night til 7am to watch episode 1-6, it’s a long weekend and I had the will to stay awake for the first time in months)

I’m glad because I couldn’t have dealt with that episode 7 cliffhanger.

I’ve been very uninterested in a lot of things lately but I’m glad this show can bring me out of my cave.

 

Still feel like this applies, reminds me so much of those 80s movies. Very much feeling the ET for some reason these last two. I’m also of the belief that I don’t want any of the main characters to die, and don’t think any of them being saved by the superhero hurts the show’s enjoyable factor.

 

Doesn't have to be realistic to not be bad writing

 

I just don’t think it’s bad writing.

 

Max's "death" being decribed as a cop-out is so weird to me. Eleven having to sacrifice her powers just to turn a main character comatoase is a transparently sad ending, and textually described as a failure on El's part. Max is only barely alive enough to prevent the dimensional split, which leaves their story on a more distressing and indefinite note than if they straight-up killed them.

 

I agree, and I think it’s very different than the discussed Chewbacca scene. Which had no emotional weight and was specifically written as a slight of hand, which is not how this scene played IMO.
