Can’t stop thinking about this show. When I was watching the finale I was a bit distracted with kids using pretty pedestrian weapons to fight the Mind Flayer but the overt callout to Godzilla was cool. Also the biggest power he had was the grip on people’s minds so it was kind of cool he was all bark and no bite on his home turf. Also I interpret the connection between Henry and the Mind Flayer being key to their power. I think I’m going to rewatch the finale before I go back to work Monday.
The Russians had a very very very big lasting impact considering it was a Russian spy that initially lead to Henry being flayed
i think S1 is perfect television and while the following seasons gave us some cool moments, it probably should have ended their story there and kept with the original plan of an anthology series.
This was very early, so early that by the time they were working on Season 1, it'd already been ruled out.
No, and in fact rereading their pitch, they actually originally presented it as being like It where a second season could focus on the characters being older. It sounds like they always left the door open to continue with the characters and world, just not initially in the form we know now. https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerTh...gling_the_confusion_about_what_wasnt_planned/
It was funny starting s5 a week after finishing Resident Alien and seeing Linda play the same character
Linda did absolutely nothing in the finale; did she even say a word? Essentially just walked around and looked in different directions, without actually doing anything. Waste of a character
did i miss something or did they ever explain what happened with all the pregnant mothers in the lab?
Yea, I assume it was real. I’d say we are led to conclude that Dr Kay realized these experiments would only work with Henry or El. Now that Kay believes both are dead, those experiments would cease.
