Stranger Things [Netflix] [*** Spoilers ***]

Anyone else buying into the #conformitygate theories that there will be another episode / ending released on Netflix on January 7th?

Basically the last ending was fake (all inside Mikes mind as he was cursed / vecna'd).

Would love to believe it personally as it would be some way to end the series by the Duffers.

WWE Raw is doing a Stranger Things crossover tonight which is strange considering the show is over.

It's nonsense.

The Duffer Brothers even said they'll never return to these characters.

Which is unfortunate as I'd love a film or limited series in 10 years time like IT.

Netflix own the IP though so I guess it's not the Duffer Bro's choice.

For me it's S1 > S4 > S3 > S2 > S5

S1 is just perfection and impossible to beat.

S5 was still good but should've been better.

I don't think the story line around the kids was very good.

The final battle was very average.

I like the ending though. That was very clever.

The finale of S4 was brilliant.

You had Hopper, Joyce and Murray in the prison.

Max almost dying with Lucas by her side.

11 fighting Veccna.

Mike with her as she's in the pizza dough tub.

Nancy, Steve attacked by vines as they're about to attack Veccna.

Eddie dying also and Dustin holding him for his last words.

It was brilliant storytelling that all those stories converged at same time in different dimensions.

It probably peaked then.

Maybe they should've killed off Veccna and gone with a different villain in S5.

They should've had Max blind and disabled in S5 also. She recovered too easy.

Someone important should've died in the last episode also. Maybe Johnathan.

Me too and I'm a grown man. I cried also at 11 and Mike's scene in the void.

I've cried a few times watching ST.

I was more upset for Dustin.

I thought Joe Quinn was miscast and I didn't like the character.

I kept thinking why's a guy in his late twenties in highschool hanging around with kids.

The Duffer Brothers said they found Eddie hard to cast and I think they panicked.

Quinn's a brilliant actor though but just too old to play that role.

Also I like that the Steve/Derek hug seems to be going a bit viral at the moment, a lovely little scene - imagine if they had killed Keery in season 1!) but I also loved the seemingly lesser noticed fact that Steve was cleaning Dereks glasses with his bandana before giving them back and THEN getting grabbed by Delighted Derek.

I just thought he looked like a guy pushing 30 not late teens.

He had those wrinkles you get between your mouth and nose from smiling.

Excellent actor though but I still think he was miscast.

Some of the "modern" music at the end was well done. Emphasised the passing of time and sense of change.

when’s the missing episode on?

Has happened me more than once watching the show. Just pulls on the heartstrings way more than other shows I'd watch. I'm convinced it is the 80s synth that creeps in during an emotional scene!
