STRANGER THINGS season 4 - SPOILERS INSIDE

[bosk1]

Wow.  Episode 7 was just...wow.  A LOT of things tied together in a really satisfying way, going all the way to season 1.  Suddenly, nothing that has happened, nor who it happened to, nor why is random. 

Yeah, they really pulled it together nicely.

Season 2 of Sarah Connor Chronicles was kind of like that too where you had all these seemingly disparate, separate story threads going on that didn't seem like they had anything to do with each other, and then suddenly, everything came together brilliantly in the end.  I'm still bitter that they canceled that show before it finished.

You just had to reopen that wound, didn't you? Why don't you just tease a second season of Firefly while you're at it.

I felt the whole Hopper/Murray/Joyce/Russia story line was really farfetched (yeah I know it is tv) and just really detracted from the rest of the show.

Once you accept the premise that someone is held captive and other people try to rescue him, it's less farfetched than the russians being able to build a damn superlab beneath a mall 

Ha! Yes, very true!

  sorry bro....never forget the April 1st I dropped that meme at 5am and nailed everyone before they had a chance to wake up. I must've fooled half my FB timeline 

[ErHaO]

I think the part of season 4 that has been released is excellent. Looking forward to the final episodes!

[Lonk]

Just finished Ep. 4. Slow moving but like it so far.

I got done watching season 4 again with the wife. She surprisingly loved it quite a bit, said it was the best season after the 1st. On 2nd viewing I really got to appreciate the plot points develop and story unfold. The longer lengths of the episode never felt boring at any point. I really can't wait for the last two parts to arrive. Good thing there are several shows to fill the gaps while we wait.

What am I doing wrong that this image doesn’t post???

Quote my post and you will see an imgur link in an img tag…but it just comes up blank. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong.

I’m not completely tech illiterate. I’m not like Tim with pop-culture references. I actually know my way around the computer just enough to make me dangerous. But I’ve always had this problem on this forum and it baffles me

How's this? The img tags only work when you have a url that is of the image itself, i.e. ending in an image file name like jpg, gif, or png. Otherwise it won't show up. If you right-click on the picture and open it in a new tab, you should find the image url itself and not the page the image loads on like on imgur.

THANK YOU!!!

Ok cool. I’ll see if I can go back and fix it.

But ya…my wife legit saw these at Walmart. It’s real. We’re having two of them for dinner tonight.

[jammindude]

HA!! It worked!! Thank you Marc!

These are the cut out glasses that come on the boxes.

[SoundscapeMN]

those pizzas are actually not bad.

My wife liked the Supreme one.

We also found the ST themed Doritos at Walmart the other day.

Spoilers below!!

Finally watched through the first 7 episodes of Season 4....

I'm amazed at how well they tied everything together. About halfway through episode 4 I turned to my wife and said I have 2 theories. The guy that was helping Eleven in the flashbacks is either One or Vecna. And then the slow reveal happened. It was amazing!

Now I have all kinds of theories about the nature and existence of the Upside-Down, now that we know why there was a portal there to begin with. Looking forward to finding out. July can't come quick enough.

Yeah I also just finished it last night and that 7th episode was really good, actually felt like the writers had a long term plan that's paying off.  Very good season overall, my only issue is the Mike, Will, Johnathon section wasn't great (really didn't like the wackiness of them at Dustin's Girlfriends house).

I actually thought it brought a little needed lightheartedness to the story. Everything else had been so bleak up to that point.

[hefdaddy42]

OK, so when the first part of season 4 dropped, I remembered that, due to life happening and whatnot, I had never actually watched season 3.

So, I watched a recap of season 2 (since that seems SO LONG AGO now), tore through season 3, and just finished episode 7 of season 4.

THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

I loved the revelations in episode 7.  Still curious to see how the expatriates get out of Mother Russia.

I only have one complaint about the season, which is Holy Shit at these episode lengths!  I mean, they don't drag or anything, they aren't overly long per se, but they just aren't as convenient to my personal watching habits when they are that long.  I wanted to watch seven TV episodes, not 7 movies.

I can see that but for me....I love it!! Especially because as you say....they don't drag, they're choc full of good stuff so it's great!! I wish all the other streaming shows would follow suite....I can't stand the 38-42 minute stuff....gimme more!!!

I get that.  But with, for example, almost any other show I watch, I could watch an episode before work in the morning, and another at lunch.  Can't really do that with this season.  Just pieces of episodes at a time.  I would rather have more episodes than longer episodes.

I'd take that trade as well considering the abbreviated episode lengths most of the streaming shows have.

[hefdaddy42]

I don't know about abbreviated.  I know that's how the episodes are on Disney +, but most of the shows I watch on streaming services have episode lengths of close to an hour.  Long enough to where if they were shown on regular network or cable TV, the commercials would make the episodes exceed an hour.

[MinistroRaven]

EP 8 was good!!!

[The Letter M]

Wow what an ending... The countdown for Season 5 is too long. Even if it was tomorrow, one day is too long.

-Marc.

[faizoff]

Agreed! Season 5 is going to be such a loong wait. That was an amazing ending two episodes. Fantastic stuff!

[SwedishGoose]

Total agreement..... bring it on now!!!

[MinistroRaven]

Wow what an ending... The countdown for Season 5 is too long. Even if it was tomorrow, one day is too long.

-Marc.

Agreed!

I just hope they don’t take 2+ years to deliver.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but from what I've read, Season 5 probably won't come any sooner than early 2024. So maybe at MOST two years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't slightly more than two years.

-Marc.

[faizoff]

Yeah I was anticipating it would be around that time. I think there's also a spinoff show in the works. No idea who or what it's about.

I believe they also said season 5 will be a few years into the future.

[gmillerdrake]

Finished the last two episodes…….it was alright. Judging from the comments I know I’m in the minority when it comes to the overall enthusiasm for this season. To me it’s the best season since S1 BUT…..it’s not like it blew the doors down. I think this show like a few of them out there that have a few seasons under their belt is struggling to find a good continuing story. There were some fun moments and all but for me at least it was just a middle of the road type season.

[Metro]

Master of Puppets was released March 3rd, 1986. This season takes place in late March 1986. Eddie is a fast learner.

Really enjoyed the last two episodes.
Not a fan of Max’s fake out death. They pulled this with Hopper already and I wish they had the balls to just kill a main character other than someone like Eddie who’s obviously a one-season character.

[gmillerdrake]

Agree 10000% with your small font Metropolaris. Wasted opportunity to really up the stakes and give some backbone to the show. Instead they went with the obvious.

There were many of us who were standing in line…before the store opened…waiting for the new Metallica album on release day.

Just sayin.
