I mean, I get it, they are older, but at least Robin and Nancy look like normal people. Winona is wearing more makeup to a kidnapping mission than I wear to work each day.

Also, how does antimatter harden like epoxy resin but they could still walk in their pants? Hahaha

While watching, I wondered why the took the Mollly Ringwald character to the USD during this crucial moment. Maybe leave her where she's safest and on the radio. What do I know? I've never been in a lesbian relationship.

Robin looks like she's 37. They could've given her more make up to look younger if anything

Kinda a fair question: has or is Stranger things season 5 approaching GOT level badness of "one more season" to wrap up things?

Had such a good run but they just continued to drag it and the time between seasons so long it's run its course?

Or would they bring green lit for a sixth season helped to close some of this up in timely manner?

Max was awesome. Totally under under-utilized in season 5.

Holly seemed like an adult in a 10 years old's body. But a captivating actor.

Should have just had Will kill Vectna in the Big Battle at the end of Episide 5 and ended it right there.

Fun ride.

That actually would have been perfect.

Take another episode to wrap up everyone's arcs and maybe have a cutaway scene at the end with another lab of pregnant people

The Duffer Bros could film each other taking a dump and it would be better than the last season of GOT.

I sure am glad they dedicated 30+ minutes of season 5 to conversations about homosexuality.

What they actual hell.

I just want to add Erica to the list of awesome characters.

Every line she delivers has been hilarious.

Highlights for me were the Steve and Dustin reconciling and the Max escape.

Wills monologue wasted so much time and ultimately changed very little.

I noticed this as well. It's been awhile since I watched the past seasons but I don't remember near as much cussing and certainly not GD constantly.

It's like they felt the need to force the language just because the kids are a bit older or something. I'm no prude, but it's also a bit ridiculous.

The more I read of everyone's replies here and on other sites I think I dislike this season way more than when I was caught up binge watching it last night.

The one plus is how far the production level has come from season 1 to now. The sound is incredible through my system and the special effects are leaps and bounds 9 years later since the premiere. I still can't believe that was already nine years ago that I watched ten episodes in a row of season 1.

Eleven looks absolutely ridiculous. Her face is so frozen from Botox and filler that she can't form an expression.

MBB is only 22, so no idea why she felt the need for facial work already.

This season has been a weird combination of the writers getting lazy and the show going full ****** with gay storyline.

I mean, if you and your friends were facing off against a monster trying to kill you all and destroy the entire world, don't you think you'd swear a bit more?

Only reason I'm watching still is sunk time cost.
They ruined a few characters this current and some of past season.

The coming out was forced, stupid and pointless. Just proves what many think regarding Hollywood forcing crap like that.

I dare say at least half of people watching are only doing so because they have already invested enough time and want to see the conclusion.

As it stands, this is a really bad season of television.

Overall I've enjoyed the series. The last few episodes have been wanting in a few areas but overall it's been enjoyable. And as it's fantasy I am, for most part, to put aside reality and just enjoy the ride. However, as the entire world is at threat, how the actual **** have Hopper and Joyce not felt the need to recruit actual like minded and trustworthy adults to take part in the fight? Yeah, all 8 billon people on earth are at threat but let's stick with our army of teenagers to fight the fight? Makes sense.

okay, adding Robin's girl friend in was generally annoying.

the coming out scene, we have beaten to death, but the annoying thing about it to me is that unless I really really missed something, i didn't see the visions of everyone abandoning Will because he's gay. If him being "honest" with his friends/self is key to fighting Vecna, that makes sense I suppose, but they flashed past that so fast, that for the coming out scene to make sense, they should have had Vecna trying to use that info to seduce Will more "if they know what you really are, theyll abandon you and you'll be mine" "Youre nothing without your friends and if they knew your secret, they wouldn't stick around" or something like that. and then them all doing this crying "I won't abandon you" "you have my axe" thing was so lame. At least one of them should have said "okay cool, so can we kill the monsters now?" If they had made the coming out scene feel more crucial to his success, it wouldn't have felt so stupid..besides just the awkwardness.

Hollys mom exploding the dryer made no sense, but I loved it anyway. She's awesome. But Ted tried to take one out with a golf club, can we not ignore his existence? He's been underrated since the beginning. Nell Fisher is going to be a top actress in the future if she continues honing her skill/making good choices.

I dont think at any point I've been super impressed with vecna tbh

As far as jonathon and nancy go.. none of that scene made any sense to me. but I also know that if I am about to die with my boyfriend I feel slightly awkward with, I'm probably not taking that moment to tell him I hate The Clash. It would be WAY more likely that we'd do all these "I love yous" because we are about to die and then when we found out we were going to live go "sooooooooooooooooooooooooo about that proposal i said yes cause I thought I'd only be stuck with that decision for 30 seconds, but now we are stuck in this room and definitely not dead so we should probbaly talk about that ring"

but can someone please explain why the goop stopped and hardened and then it looked like a wierd winter wonderland prom theme?


steve and dustin reconciling is the best relationship in the whole series.
Wynona wears more makeup now because she has a fancy sales job and is more stable. it doesn't bother me.

Seven as a character has to be the most boring character/personality in the mix...but her and eleven look the same age now and that really bugs me because its not the dynamic they were going for at all. also I feel like a jerk but the eleven's face doesn't bother me near as much as them putting her in tight outfits that show her boobs and them not doing some minimization there.

they have done a great job with lucas in general, no notes.

Wow, the Coming Out scene was perfect and expertly timed. It's in moments of peril that we need tolerance, understanding, diversity the most.

Noah Schnapp was excellent, and my only criticism is that he could have explained his true self to the group (and kudos to them for not laughing or "making fun") well before the penultimate episode. This would have offered more time for explanation, exploration, tolerance.

And while Will's sexuality has been hinted at since season 1, a long time to wait, it's really nice to see the writers and showrunners stay committed to conveying how essential it is to tell your own truth, boldly, proudly, without fear or favor.

isn't that the other girl from papa's institute's name? oh no, she was 8 not 7. my bad.

also, did they really not have a sign on any of the buildings that labeled papa's institute? because obviously its not the department of energy. so like.. .. what was the real organization?

Netflix deserves a lot of credit here, helping to shape our culture so profoundly.

Very upsetting that so many on Twitter are upset. This all has been excellent.

Also very grateful that Robin's character has been elevated to a main character, which really helps LGBTQ+ Representation.

And dang is Nancy Wheeler like a Navy SEAL and John Wick combined, taking out highly-trained military personnel !!!!

She can fight against a FREAKIN' Demogorgon with JUST A WINE BOTTLE, AND then she's able to take our Demo Dogs in a pivotal scene in episode 7 !!

IMO, through confronting his deepest fear head-on, Will gains emotional strength to resist Vecna's influence in the final battle.

Redstone, in your professional and unbiased opinion, do you believe the stranger things is another form of disclosure on the public subconscious as we approach a greater realization of the human consciousness as a larger analysis of what is and what is not under our own soils and beyond our visible stars?
