could've sworn they had a post-show for the older seasons

 

See?

 

Listen, Hal, admitting you have a problem is the first step.

 

The Montauk Project was the entire inspiration behind the pitch for the show, was it not?

 

Me liberally liking Halitosis and Penlab's comments:

 

Finished it like an hr ago and feeling more positive the more I think about it. The epilogue was almost pitch perfect.

Pretty satisfying episode and resolution overall. Still some rough dialogue but not to the point it ruined it. And I woulda liked to see an actual resolution to the kids in the desert instead of cutting away and not seeing them again until they get cut out of the monster - kinda felt like they nailed the entire Holly and Derek story only to hand wave its most climactic moment.

 

I think Montauk was the original title of the show, too.

 

What was the deal with the book at the end? Are they implying that the whole show was a D&D campaign from the book?

 

I don't think there is any implication. Just an homage to the entire series being DnD inspired

 

not sure if anyone asked but what do we think the spinoff is gonna be about

 

think Finn guessed it correctly ask him

 

There’s an interview where they say it’s not gonna be any of the characters, the 80s, the upside down or anything related to it, so barely sounds like a spin off to me and not just a brand new show lol

I assume it’ll be some other govt conspiracy thing tjo

 

I know it happened off screen but wasn’t Eleven living with the Byers while Hop was gone?

 

Huh? It wasn't off screen... She lives with the Byers in season 4

 

I thought the finale was pretty bad. I've always said this isn't some prestige show and it's just schlocky dumb fun but there are some pretty big things you're just expected to ignore with the finale. Nancy and Hopper killed multiple US Army soldiers...and they are just released? Mike didn't see any of the stuff with Kali dying, how would he make that story up? I thought the big battle with the spider was just kind of boring. The Mike/El goodbye scene was brutally acted, purple reign was an odd song choice for that part.

Epilogue was great (if you ignore all of the stuff that they just sweep aside) and it really highlights why this season was kind of frustrating; this show is at it's best when it's the characters all interacting with each other, not giant CG monster fights.

One of the weaker seasons, somehow rushed and bloated at the same time. Still a decently fun show overall though

 

I don't think it's hard to believe that Hopper told everyone how Kali died? Lol. You don't think people would be like "hey, what happened to her????"

 

Yeah I’d say it’s definitely the weakest season, all felt like buildup for the finale. The other ones had some room to breathe and develop the different homages

 

Absolutely the weakest season but a solid finale and good volume 1

 

Thank you David, for at least trying to have a conversation with me about this.

Do you have any idea what scene it was that would've hinted at it?

 

Hell yes time for the best part of every thread: rankings.

 

1 >= 4 > 3 > 2 > 5

Pretty easy ranking for me

 

no clue I am usually pretty bad at looking for Easter eggs like that haha

 

Lol accurate, I 100% thought they were gonna have Derek get stuck

 

especially after they made a point of showing how hard it was for Max to fit through
