@renkaa: It's murky, but if all she's hiding is the idea of "withdrawing" from the final battle, then Hopper himself was caught doing the same thing a couple of episodes ago. :\
It's not even obvious who influenced Eleven more.: The parent figure of Hopper, who has a family and a loved one, and he still chose to sacrifice himself on occasion?
Another question is that Kali voluntarily and forcibly imposes this idea on El...

@renkaa: It just seems to me that no matter what Henry does, she sees him as part of her family, because she had no other. He's not a brother to Audie, because she has Hopper, Joyce and the guys, she has a family.

@Beneficium: In my opinion, the comparison with Hopper is not entirely correct. He doesn't WANT to kill himself, but he's thought about it a lot and is ready to sacrifice himself if it helps save El.
But yes, this very fact pushes El towards Kali's propaganda, which inspires El with the idea that everything is perishable, resistance to evil militaries is useless, and only Roskomnadzor can be a solution. Which in itself begs the question "who said it was useless?". And besides, there is the following feeling: Kali already knows that her blood will not create super soldiers. Therefore, the whole pact is really questionable, rather she will say at the last moment, "haha, you're the only evil here, you need to get drunk, but I can live and I won't even cause armegeddon!"

@Beneficium: So Kali is right. It's not just the sacrifice of 11 for the sake of others. It's also for herself, because she won't have a normal life, no matter what Hopper says. She will no longer study at school with documents or go to work, she is wanted again. There is no better way out

@seemonster: And how are you going to resist? Seize power in the state, start a war? It's a huge car. You have some rosy ideas about the world, but Kali understands the whole reality. And if Hopper wants to sacrifice himself for 11, then 8 and 11 can sacrifice themselves (but not a happy life, since they won't have one anyway) to save the world.

02 Jan 20:03 #

@densto: I'm not going to resist at all. It's not real at all, if you're suddenly bored. Regarding pink performances, it was funny for a second, yes :)))
But come on, let's play the game "reality is not TV" with you. So in reality, your "huge machine" is unable to find the crap out of people it would really like to find and put away. And we're only talking about America. And the world is actually big. Unlike movies and TV series, the reality of which you have already adopted, the American (like any other) "huge machine" is generally unable to reach anywhere outside its country in the vast majority of cases. And in the 80s, when not every fart was digitally recorded, it was difficult even within your own country. If self-intoxication is the best way out for every fear of the state (whatever it may be), then going to the doctor would not be a bad idea. And even if the prospect of not going to school or work on normal documents inspires thoughts of suicide in you as the best way out of the situation, then it's probably even too late to see a doctor...

@seemonster: you don't understand the difference when it comes to people with abilities. No one gives a damn about some homeless man waving a knife, although, as you say, the state should also put him away. But imagine a person associated with UFOs or superpowers. You don't understand the level of importance and threat. Intelligence agencies around the world work together on such occasions and resolve issues. So don't talk about self-intoxication for any reason. There are practically no people whose blood is so valuable.

@E770: Mike, on the other hand, is in a relationship and head over heels in love with Al, he didn't even notice Will's infatuation, and this line wasn't considered likely and logical in its sequence for all three characters. So how exactly could the scriptwriters have implemented the fan service?)

I burst into tears, it was so touching, and I'm glad that he's no longer afraid, that he's turning from a fragile, introverted boy into a guy who's not afraid to fight back, that he's no longer as weak as he used to be.
The whole company is finally here, waiting for the final battle.

Oh, this fierce "happiness" is to admit to everyone around that you are not like that. As it turns out, gays don't need much, lul.

For some reason, in other series, they can often make normal gays (for example, in Brooklyn), and there will be no complaints. It's disgusting to look at it right there, thank God, you can listen to stupid moments against the background.

@MrSnippy: Will's monologue can also be perceived in the context of the plot, and not about the agenda, by the way. The character needs to get rid of doubts before a deadly event.

His revelation is about how to be yourself and about the courage to be real.
And how not to live in doublethink or under a mask, in fear of voicing an unpopular opinion

@MrSnippy: man, there are 200-300 girls (and a couple dozen boys) sitting here, and they ignore everyone who is in favor of normal relationships and who condemns the agenda. Moreover, sometimes it's not even hostile or "homophobic" comments that are ignored, but simply because they don't like that they don't admire what they like.

the same people in Doctor Who are happy with any new "ingenious" moves by the directors (again related to the orientations, etc. of the characters)
, there don't seem to be many of them, but they are too "loud"

@What the fuck: dude, this is life. Some people are homosexual, just accept it. Will is gay in the 80s, but the action takes place in the 80s, it's a bit taboo and it's OBVIOUS that it strongly affects him and that opening up to him means going against all the worries in his head. By the way, you are creating these worries 40 years later, what good work you are, there are no words.

And another indicator that you are not particularly intellectually developed is that you mentioned emotional intelligence. The phrase is beautiful, but you don't know what it's about.

@LilyEight: Well, I agree that there were too many unnecessary people, but if people are triggered by the fact that a gay character is at the center of the plot, as well as the topic of his orientation, it's just homophobia. It's just that some people don't want to admit it for some reason. 🤷🏻♀️

@id602501654: Well, the problem of "I don't like girls" is directly related to the fact that Vecna can use this against Will, meaning the villain will win and the world will not be saved. So maybe these are problems of more than one magnitude, then one thing leads to another.
But then again, what else can you call those who can't stand the topic of homosexuality in the center of the plot? I don't think they've come up with another word for it)

Yes, it's a trigger, because it's foreign, artificial and overblown, and most importantly, the landmarks are mixed and the plot becomes secondary, yes, it becomes garbage, because this series is completely devoted to the problems of orientation.

I give you a plus! She taught Eleven to look for strength in bad memories and anger, just like Henry/001 did when they were in the lab with Eleven in 1979. + Henry mentioned 8. Maybe he helped her escape, maybe he taught 8 to look for strength in evil. And it's a little strange that earlier the military saw 11 as a threat and wanted to kill her, but now they want to stamp new numbers based on her blood... Maybe Kali made it all up? Maybe her goal is to remove 11 so that there is no one left who can be equal to Henry/001 in strength.

The scene with Max and Lucas at the beginning is the best moment. And so there are some very mixed emotions before the finale. I think the first part of the season was much better, but here there are like three episodes per hour, a lot of events, but very crumpled.

Everything happens so fast, and they take the time to show every minute how naked she is in the background on the sidelines (yes, we already realized that she would betray), the same and sometimes very stupid dialogues (Joyce, Robin, etc.), for some reason Will gathered all of them (it would be better if they were only close ones and not at such a moment), the military line is just as bad as it could be, and in general there are many more strange moments, even too lazy to describe. There was so much time, but it was as if both the actors and the screenwriters had already exhausted themselves by the end and were shooting in the "yes, it will do" mode. Somehow, the magic of the series is not felt at all, I still hope they will be able to finish with dignity and the two-hour finale will not let them down.

Well, as I understand it, no one will be merged anymore, maybe a maximum of one character in the main battle. For some reason, I realized that I didn't have the courage to kill one of the main ones, at the moment when Lucas kicked the demogorgon.

@tevladka: and why should an overtly straight man suddenly have feelings for a gay man after his confession? Well, what the hell? The maximum will be able to maintain friendship if he does not impose himself. I don't understand why LGBT supporters care so much about the feelings of gays, but ignore the fact that a heterosexual character is in no way obligated to reciprocate, but rather the opposite: there are more chances of estrangement. Especially considering that it's the end of the eighties. This is the main problem of projecting the current society into the past (except for antiquity, perhaps). Gay+ gay is understandable at any time. Gay+straight means the odds are somewhere around zero. Even today.

@tevladka: so, if, regardless of age, he was in a relationship with only one girl and never with guys, this does not make him a latent gay/bi. This view suddenly appeared in recent years from nowhere, but in the 20th century, many were in a relationship only once or twice in their entire lives. I repeat, the projection of the current society into the past distorts the correct idea of the mores of those times. Just like that, very much.

@colorer: some songs are suspended in a similar status of "forgotten", including due to the fact that the price for their use in movies / TV shows is too high. Sometimes even this is done by copyright holders in order to avoid their inclusion as an audiophone altogether. Or something like that. They give a categorical no. And then suddenly someone offers such an astronomical sum that they agree).

I love the scenes when they all get together before the final battle and make a plan. This was not enough last season. And then there's the moment with Will.

Let's omit the fact that the confession scene is far-fetched. After all, for some reason, Vecna decided to scare Will not by killing all his loved ones, but by the fact that they might not accept him. But the hugging moment brought tears to my eyes. And yes, the analogy with Tammy was clear from the very beginning, no matter how much some might deny it.

@lazyninja188: Vecna breaks people not only by what they are afraid of, but also by what they are ashamed of. In addition, for Weil, who has not fit in all his life, felt wrong, and felt good only with friends and family, who has been bullied and ridiculed all his life because he is not like everyone else, this is the biggest nightmare. To be rejected by loved ones, or to move away from them.

It's a good thing that Will's confession was tied to Vecna's pressure on his fears. And the fact that he confessed to everyone at once makes the moment feel very special.

And I like that this topic is related to his strength, that you can't be really strong if you don't know yourself and be honest with yourself. Confidence in yourself and in your loved ones who accept you makes you truly free.

@GonReborn: It's just a pity it was done so late. It wasn't until the fourth episode that he revealed his powers, and then he turned sour again. It feels like the guy spent the whole series in a cocoon or in a coma.

But by the way, it's funny that Vecna says to him, "I'm using you for the last time," meaning that then the worlds will collapse, and it turns out that because Will won't be so weak anymore.

The second part came out weaker than the first part in terms of the intensity of emotions. Everything was saved for the final, which will be released on January 1. Actually, it feels like the Duffers rushed the release of season 5. It's like there's not enough mid-season explaining who, what, and how. And then you could watch the standard season for 40 minutes with action.

The plot is galloping and lacks a sequence, where the characters first act separately and come together to fight back from the Inside out. The series is very much loved and there are a lot of expectations for the finale. It is impossible to finish it badly. I would like to spend a little more time, not 5 seasons : (after the fireworks, we are waiting for a 2-hour farewell

The only hope is that there will be at least some kind of dialogue between them and this will not close the arch of Will. I'm not even talking about the Bayer Endgame, but if it doesn't develop further (even if only by rejecting Mike), it will be one of the toughest queerbates in history.

Although I don't drown for any of the couples, I feel a lot more chemistry between Will and Mike.… And Will's growth was literally based on accepting his true self and his feelings for Mike, which he had shown in previous seasons.

@satansaiddaance: What makes you think Mike is the love of his life? Is this the person he first became romantically attracted to, where did they even say that Will was in love with him for the entire period of their friendship?
What kind of queerbate are you talking about, do you even know what queerbate is? One of the characters in your character is constantly in a monogamous hetero relationship, and the other is quietly dying. There is no flirting with the audience in the script, they say it bluntly - just like with Robin, this is the first crash for self-awareness and orientation, nothing more. The actors and screenwriters of Vesle say that there is no romantic line there, you look through the prism of your desires. I never condemn shipping at all, it's fun, but guys, you can feel the boundaries - your desires are your headcannon, you created it yourself - play with it alone.

@satansaiddaance: by the end of the series, it would be good to finally understand that there are no individuals here, but there is one big family and Will, who essentially rallied them all together around himself, was afraid of not fitting in and being left out, afraid of not being accepted and not understood. And he needed this conversation and this support to break this stinking vine. And Mike understood everything, and Will knows that they can't have anything. It happens that the first love for your best friend is the cruelest thing that can happen to a teenager who is "not like that" (as Will considers himself), because it is very rarely mutual.

@satansaiddaance: Oh, well, if we don't have Mike's pov, then he's not a full-fledged character and he doesn't have feelings) But seriously, I mean, why do viewers think Mike HAS to reciprocate? Why can't they be people dear to each other, without romance?

And no, it's not that my eyes are blinded and I can't see anything between them, or if you substitute a character of the other sex, I'll immediately see a chemistry that screams canon. I'm not even denying a possible endgame for Bayer, and I can see where it can be pulled from. But the question is why everyone is convinced that Mike is obligated to reciprocate, and why they are still very angry that this has not happened yet.
It feels like half of the audience is sure that Mike should be with Audie all his life, and the other half are sure that Mike should respond to Will so that his story ends happily. 🤷
Maybe Mike is just like Nancy. He needs to sort himself out and he can do it alone))

I've never been a homophobe, but this cumingout was just planted in a plot-tense place in a clumsy way. I thought Will had seen something wrong, that he would have to stay there, some other bad news... But he just gathered everyone to say that he was gay. Not only that, these snot look out of place here. We already knew he was gay. It was just necessary to declare in color and get approval from everyone. This is the moment when propaganda gets in the way of creativity. I didn't even care about quotas for LGBT characters. But it's just a tin can. Pushing an agenda under such fanfare is a failure

Okay, in the first season, there was an excuse from the Duffers about "well, we were also allowed to walk for a long time when we were kids," and no one knew about the chupacabras running around the city, but not when the ground was literally torn apart and the whole city was surrounded by the military..

Are they going to kill anyone? It's really a never ending story.
I've been looking forward to the second half of the season and it's just a guard. how many speakers are fucked up. Where is the El/Max reunion? Max has two scenes with Will, wow, but not one with her
bestis. The cuming-out scene is one big wtf. Are the lines written for the viewer, and if you think about it for a second, then for 50% of the characters in this room, does Will's confession look like wtf? okay. especially-"he was my Tammy Thompson," like, who is Tammy? everyone in this room is asking themselves except Robin, Steve, and probably Vicky (Vicky was there too, what?)
Initially, the Duffers wanted Will to confess only to Joyce, and I think that would be really good. Well, maybe also to Jonathan, although he already knew, I can't get off this stage, it's such a cringe.😭

By the way, we have a ton of characters as it is, let's also put Mr. Clark here.

the dialogues tell about the same thing ten times. no past of Henry has been revealed - everyone will be poked into the two-hour finale, well...

Are Al and Mike together or not? what happens to the actors, where is their chemistry in the frame?

Nancy and Jonathan end up breaking up in this scene in the lab, and half of the audience didn't realize it, bravo the script

the line with the dumb military is absolutely dumb and useless, if it were Brenner instead of Kay, nothing would have changed, why would he have been killed in season 4...
and Dr. Owens is dead, right? This character was thrown out of the story altogether, it's a pity...

the episodes are absolutely passable, I wanted to squander half of the scenes, wow, you can't say anything👍

@wineeeeees_13: The Duffer brothers had to give an entire interview, where they tell us that it turns out that the Jancys broke up😅
I didn't understand that either initially. It seemed to me that marriage was the issue here, that it wasn't a goal for them and all that.

@wineeeeees_13: I didn't realize we broke up either, but today the Duffers officially announced that

1) Nancy and Jonathan broke up (I didn't get it)
2) Mike understood what Will meant when he said about the crash (I understood this from Mike's look, but I expected a warmer reaction from Mike)

@mikaеldelague7: Willa does not agree with the scene, but with the rest 100%. I was surprised by the scenes between Max and Will. Yes, they were in the same company, but they didn't have such a close relationship, while with Audie it was just a phrase "oh, is that really you?".

@mikaеldelague7: I completely agree with you, the season is just a disappointment of the year for me personally. In every episode, almost every character is like, "imagine that this object is * some kind of term from the series, and this is * also some kind of term from the series*, and this is us!" Fucked up with your analogies) We can have an alcohol bingo and drink every time it happens: we'll get 100% drunk.

Steve, who stands next to Robin in Will's scene, and supports her... Say what you want, but they are the real platonic soulmates with a capital P in this universe. 💔🥹

On the good side:
I kiss the hands of the one who prescribed the Steve and Dustin line this season, it's just gold

The scenes with them take about 5 minutes in total, but I want to watch them endlessly.

the reaction of the characters is absolutely clear.
Dustin, who grieves for Eddie and embarks on self-destruction.
Steve, who's hurt for Dustin, who's worried, but doesn't know how to fix it.
those poisonous words that start a fight between them in the lab, and which are partly true, which is why Dustin reacts the way he does.
The way Steve tries to protect Dustin during a fight so that he doesn't get hurt.
the scene on the stairs where Dustin just goes crazy and spirals into a spiral because Steve might die... This Dustin tantrum and Steve's realization that he's really important to someone💔
and, of course, their reconciliation scene in episode 7, this exchange of promises - together we will survive or die together - is literally a very healing dynamic.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this line.
Joe Keary and Gaten Matarazzo are the real MVP of these episodes.

@katrin_b: in fact, your entire adequate story boils down to "maybe." Maybe the army will be just as dumb at all times and everywhere, not just in Hawkins (in fact, even with the technology of the 80s, finding a teenager in such a small town and surroundings is quite a real task). Maybe neither El nor Mike will have any feelings for their loved ones, not trying to keep in touch with them so that they won't be tracked down. Maybe Elena and Mike will love solitude so much that they won't communicate with anyone for years, so that God forbid they won't be recognized anywhere. Well, maybe they will choose a place where there is simply no connection and no television, so that no one will recognize them. Or maybe these same technologies of the 80s will remain at the same level for decades to make them harder to track down.
Well, that is, in terms of the series, it's a pretty good idea, which just has little to do with reality.

I mean, I don't want to say that they would have been caught, but that there would always be harassment, and that's a fact, and no matter how well they hid, there would always be a chance that they would be found, and therefore there would always be a chance of a repeat of all the horror that was at Hawkins.

@artimiy: I'm laughing))) Actually, no one found the house in the woods where Audie hung out for a year. Despite the fact that it was not a garage or a Byers castle children's shed, but a normal house of the sheriff's grandfather, which could certainly be broken through according to the documents. or- if the grandfather still lived in samostroy and did not set fire to his monastery in front of any living soul- to find a high-quality combing of the forest)) he wasn't in such a fucking mess: we were shown how Odi, having freaked out, walked straight to school, and in time for the middle of lessons. The government itself saw a modest circle of contacts in hangout 11: a bunch of kids, a couple of older kids, a mom, a sheriff, a teacher.. At the same time, no surveillance is established for adults, and neither is the biological mother's apartment. why Hopper suddenly stops playing around at home and starts buying baby cereal is beyond question))
With such dirty- purely for show-search games, Odie could easily establish a connection with Mike by exchanging letters. If only Horper and his anxiety weren't playing hide-and-seek so obsessively and involved, in contrast to the government, of course)))

So in Chicago, she calmly bought a ticket and shone her face at the station. In general, the 80s...such 80s) there, read the story of the Alcala maniac: the dude, being wanted by the FBI, just went to New York, calmly enrolled in university and, introducing himself as a leftist, got a job at children's camps for 4 summers in a row (for a moment he was wanted for rape and attempted murder of a child). So it couldn't have been easier to hide from the authorities and at the same time live a normal life in those days.

The boring and frustrating part.
It was a strange feeling, as if a lot of things had happened, but nothing had happened.

I can't imagine how they're going to pack up all the events in the remaining two hours. Somehow I'm starting to worry about the finale.

I accompany my sister's appearance and remarks with a roll of my eyes every time. If she turns out to be a traitor, it will seal the coffin of the final season completely.

I didn't like it! It was bad, of course, to set expectations, but still sad. First, Will's confession.. I really got off to a good start when he started opening up to Mom. Then that dumb Mike interrupted them. Okay, let Mike sit down too, maybe it would be better than the end result. It's certainly very brave to open up to everyone at once. I mean, even Robin didn't get that far. But stupidly no intimacy, it's sad. It would be great to have Will's confession to Mom + okay Mike. Then Will comes out relieved to join the others. Mike is pleasantly shocked, Mom is crying from the touching moment. And the group gets together, and then Will, with a more "positive" attitude (since he has already thrown off the burden from his shoulders, because mom and Mike already know), gave his speech. It certainly wouldn't have turned out that way, but the main thing for us was Mike's reaction. And in the end, this empty-head sat with his face on. I hope he at least comes up to Will later, because he's obviously not stupid, and he realized that Will meant him. Too much was left for the last episode. Mike's thoughts are the same about everything. When is this verbal drama going to happen? If the last episode is clearly going to be epic-epic-epic. I really hope that touching conversations will be appropriate. But what's most infuriating is the fact that Will wouldn't have revealed himself if it hadn't been for Henry. Just because he fucking showed him something? It freezes me out, why did they even come up with this? It's just that there's no other fucking reason to tell here and now? They discussed the plan, it's risky, it's not a fact that everyone will survive. And Will would want to open up before it's too late. And that would be better. It would be his personal motivation. Anyway, thank you, Henry, for fucking waiting for the confession. But I'm as disappointed as possible.

@shimidzu_: Will thought about opening up even before the moment with Vecna, because the conversation with Robin was not for nothing. It was just the vision of Vecna that pushed him. And yes, Vecna wanted to scare him and break him, and Will was scared, but decided not to hide even more, but to open up. It makes sense that everyone involved in the plan was there. Of the relatively "superfluous" ones, only Vicky and Murray were there, but all the others were close to Will, and he was most afraid of everyone else's reaction. He was afraid that Vecna would show them who Will really was in a moment, and this would weaken their bond, or they would hate him.
The Duffers said that they shot the scene one-on-one with Joyce, but in the end she came out completely different emotionally, so they decided to stop there.
And do you think it would be easier for Will to approach everyone and confess than to tell everyone at once?
For the emotional support of the first person he confessed to, Robin was there the whole time.
And comparing his confession with Robin's is not appropriate at all. What do you mean, "even Robin didn't get that far"? These are completely different situations.

@shimidzu_: Ideally, how would Mike react? Be happy?But he's probably not very happy. Get angry? Be surprised? Say wow, nothing? Everyone would have condemned it too. Therefore, he was sitting with the face of the perfect face. And it seems to me that the point was not Mike's reaction, he knew that Will did not like girls, and we all know that Mike likes Eleven, this will not change after the confession. The bottom line is that Will confessed, overcame himself and accepted, and others accepted. So it's all chicky-farts, why cause even more drama, everything is in moderation

@dmarsova: everything was so transparent that even the interview with explanations had to be rolled out and the documentary filmed... In general, this moment of confession and proposal is devalued by the fact that it was a deathbed act, so it doesn't mean anything, they just talked it out. But even in the moment, they just opened up to each other and about their feelings for each other, it was there that they loved each other and no longer wanted to pretend. Agreeing a couple of minutes before death is like a joke to defuse

Mmm, Vecna's house in the form of fingers with claws?
phew, I think it's partly better that he took Holly than if she just crashed into a cake, now there's at least some chance + everyone understands where he really lives

Damn, Derek let me down, even though he's just a kid, and he was scared for his family, but until the end I thought that he would somehow secretly be able to help or help
, of course, it's not a fact that the two of them would convince everyone with Holly, but anyway

Yes, Max got her eyesight back, although it seemed like they shouldn't after last season
in this series, you're either alive and fully healthy or dead.

Steve and Dustin 'together until the end' 💔
I don't believe Steve will be killed like Eddie
, I don't know what will happen to Dustin
in general, besides, it will be a repeat of the story of last season

Audie doesn't like her sister at all, I feel like she's going to do something, even if Audie comes to her senses.

Noah is playing divinely this season, you just believe in every moment
, the motivation for the confession and the confession scene are very good
, but I didn't say anything to Mike personally, maybe for the best

It doesn't seem like they're killing someone from the gg, they promised, but the trend of the series is that they're taking out the secondary
ones. There were already a lot of moments when they could have dramatically taken someone out (as in the scene with the ring), but they didn't
, maybe they'd kill Vekna, Audie's sister.

honestly, even though the last episode will last two hours, it seems to me that this is soooo little in order to complete everything with a Secret, all the branches of the characters, to show their lives after this nightmare
, I probably just don't want to say goodbye to the characters

@MargoRose: The Duffers promised a lot of tears. I'm starting to think they're going to take out one character from each group. And after Steve and Dustin's speeches, it seems like it's going to be both of them. I can't imagine anyone else's death could be more emotional than Steve's.

Personally, I'm very worried about Robin, Steve, Will, Erica and Holly. It's like Max shouldn't be killed, the girl has suffered enough as it is. Just like Dustin should be allowed to live, too.

The death of El/Jane or Hopper seems appropriate. The first one is not tired of being a hero, the second one always wants to blow up. And the bombing is part of their plan.

In general, it was only after Dustin's explanation that I realized that the yellow space where Henry flew away is not the same as the inside, all the seasons it seemed that this was basically our dimension and otherworldly, and so, let's say it was painted in yellow tones before, and then with Hawkins houses in darkly cold tones, somehow I didn't even pay attention to the fact that it could be 2 different spaces, because there are demogorgons and cthon, that there are demogorgons and cthon x) And that's what it turned out to be

The inside of this space = the bridge between Hawkins and Dimension X (where Henry/001 sent Eleven, and where the Torturer of the Mind always lived). The wrong side= the bridge was formed when Eleven made contact with the Demogorgan. All together, this is a wormhole, this is already from physics. It's like an apple core: The X Dimension is on top, the Hawkins Dimension is on the bottom, and the Inside is on the inside.

@LutikHyutik: Nooo, the X (desert world) was always there, and the Mind Eater sat there and did not grieve. Odie threw Henry (unknowingly) there. We learned from the play that he was already there (accidentally teleported) as a child, and got his superpowers. Henry might never have returned from there after he was kicked off the Earth server. But tactile contact with demogorgon for some reason connected our world and the world of X with a bridge, which is the inside (a dark world with mold and roots)

@Earth_02: so you thought right, because we were fed the concept for season 4 that upside down is a shadow world, a copy of Hawkins, but with blackjack and vecna. It was only Dustin who realized from Doc Brenner's blueprints that 'everything we know about the original was not true.' They say that our world is a desert world with chthony and chaos and particles of darkness and demopsines and a mind eater

And these two worlds lived separately and happily, until Dr. Brenner sent Odie to look for Henry, but she found another monster, touched it, and the two worlds came into contact. Then there was a "scientific explanation" through a wormhole, that is, when the two worlds came into contact, a bridge appeared that connects them, which is the wrong side. It happened on November 6, 1983, and the inside was forever frozen in that day, like a picture of Hawkins with a failed exposure and noise in the photo. Well, naturally, dogs and mice began to seep in there (I didn't have enough imagination for more types of mobs)

Something like that

To be honest, despite the rather successful tugging at emotional strings (after all, the characters, like the actors, have grown up before our eyes), the script is rather disappointing in global terms. They conveniently laid everything with the "inside out" bridge and tied it up too much. I would even say that it is too much.

Do you remember there was such a Mind Eater? After the third season, he was somehow written off too abruptly and blamed everything on Vecna. So before the fifth season there was a theatrical production, which is quite a canon. It is clear that most viewers could not watch it and hardly even began to look for its plot. And there are some pretty important details about Vecna, which obviously have to play out in the series finale.

So far, I have the impression that the series will end with Vecna destroying the bridge himself. And here you can wrinkle your face and argue in disbelief that this is utter nonsense. But the way I see it is this: Will will surely get into Vecna's head - he will get to the cave and the story from the theatrical production, in a relatively cliched manner, Vecna will turn out to be the victim, not the main villain. When it is necessary to detonate a bomb to destroy the "bridge", Vecna will sacrifice herself, and not one of the main characters, as it might seem.

@xlbuff: it depends on which branch they follow. If according to the lore of the series, then veknych is bad and should be reset. The Mind Eater remains in the third season in the form of an ultimate poop in the form of a spider

If according to the new canon of the retcon of the play, then the devourer is an ancient evil (from the macro universe lol), little Henrik was accidentally transported with the help of MacGuffin to the world of X, where his DNA was changed by the devourer and made an asshole with sadistic tendencies. It turns out that he really is like a 5-star general at the beck and call of Darkness. And in theory, you can get through to him so that he sacrifices himself by making one last right choice.

We'll see what the duffers have chosen in 2 days.

Will's confession was very touching, and I burst into tears. Noah Schnapp has grown a lot as an actor, which is encouraging. I hope that after completing his Business, he will have a successful career ahead of him. The fact that everyone accepted him broke my heart, because being a representative of a non-traditional orientation in America in the 80s meant signing a life in the shadows, to put it mildly.

Steve has come up with a good plan, but like a Swiss watch, he has to go down thorny paths.

I partly understand Kali's desire to destroy herself, the prerogative is clearly better than being a living blood farm, plus the danger that the impending catastrophe of two worlds may happen again.

There are questions about some storylines, unfortunately, not everything is as succinctly and well written as we would like, but what do we have.

Knowing the Duffer brothers' love of hints, this shot made me feel very uncomfortable. According to the guys' plan, there should be a bomb in the exotic matter center, and Will was put there for us, and he also asked to go with them himself...

@colorer: which raises doubts: we are being led back to the plot, Alya glavgad is actually misunderstood and, most likely, will join in the end and will fight with the others against the evil evil Torturer of the Mind (I hope they won't forget about him at least), but at the same time they give us hints about Henry's pdf inclinations. If Vecna remains evil to the end, then it turns out that the branch of the Torturer of Reason has ended in nothing, it will be a drain.
Mike, who is promised to be the heart of the party and the center of the group, does absolutely nothing at all, remove him from the frame, so you won't notice that someone is not there.
Max got out unharmed, which means all the hints that she's a third character with some kind of connection to Vecna are also lost.
Holly is too much. The character is interesting, but we are at the end of the final season, we need to look at our characters, and spend all the time introducing and revealing new ones.
In general, it's as if a lot of undisclosed details were lost on the way to the finale, which, obviously, we won't have time to reveal.

But the whole series "cried" and listened to a lot of silly dialogue skirmishes.

29 Dec 2025, 18:06 #
@shapkanevedimka: 1) it depends on whether Henrik will be retconned further, according to the play he is more likely a victim of mind flyer and under his influence became villainous evil. If the torturer is not mentioned in any way, then there is disappointment. I personally did not see any hints about Henrik's unconventional love for children, please remind me if there are examples.
2) Mike was leaked, although the solution lies damn on the surface - there's Will who decides to confess, Mike understands that he's his crush, and he can't reciprocate, but give them a duet of time (like Dustin Steve), and the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation. Move the fireplace out to the second episode, and remove Holly (aka Miss Open mouth) in episodes 5-7 and give Mike + Will that time.
I'm already completely silent about the non-existent chemistry of Audie Mike.
3) Max is cool, but they also gave her too much time. This whole CUMazotz line doesn't affect or interest anything. For three episodes, they couldn't even properly show Henry's backstory from the play first shadow. Why such a drain before the final?

I'm a fan of the series, and I've been through episodes 5-7, but I can't help but admit that a lot has been poorly done. If we had season 6 ahead of us, I wouldn't say a word, I was just getting high.

The 2-hour finale needs to jump over your head to close all the branches and end the series beautifully.

@colorer: there are pretty direct hints with tubes in his mouth already, the whole image of Holly is in his field of memories and how he treats her in episode 7, and with other children (and looks like a creep, too). Considering that I'm not the only one who notices this, I think there is a subtext. I can't find the article now, but the prototype of Billy, one of the first victims of the manipulations of the Torturer + Henry, was a real victim of pdf, like. In the series, he is also given the fate of being seduced by an adult woman. Of course, the creators would not have made Karen so terrible, and they wouldn't show it right in the series, but she just fell into the scriptwriter's hand at that moment. There are too many components to make it just coincidences, and not an intentional move.

@shapkanevedimka: thanks for the detailed answer! But I'm still not sure that this is on purpose, and not just a by-product of our imagination in the realities of society, where, unfortunately, the abuse of children happens all the time. The hose that Will swallowed was back in the very first season, when Vecna didn't even exist in the minds of the scriptwriters. Well, the image of Holly is just a mix of Little Red Riding Hood and Alice through the Looking Glass.
and the fact that Billy was a victim - I don't think so, he was still a milfhunter himself))) If he was a victim, it was only of abuse by his stepfather.
In any case, the Duffers will never directly confirm this theory.

I don't understand Haight's attitude towards Kali. Her idea of suicide makes sense. Yes, it's a shame and unfair, I want to have a "long and happy life" for Odi, but really, if the general's wife dies, the next scientist will come. It can last indefinitely. Spend your whole life trying to hide?
In addition, the military is well aware of her entire entourage. While she's alive, how many will they torture to find her? Even if she hides, should she take the whole gang with her to the shelter?
Kali is well aware of what the world will become if Odi falls into the hands of the government. Lots of new kids with superpowers, you can raise an army. Why are they doing this? To win the Cold war. But having won one war, why not go further?
Think bigger than "Kali has lost everything, and now she wants Audie to lose everything and kill herself."
I don't want any of them to die, but I understand Kali's position.

now it seems to me that the finale will be merged. there is only ONE two-hour episode left, where you still need to put the confirmed (?) 30-40 minute epilogue.
- Henry's backstory: why is he afraid of this cave, who was that guy with the suitcase?
- What is Hopper hiding from Odie and why does Kali know about it if they had never crossed paths before this season?
Why are all the characters gathered in the confession scene? Why are Murray, Steve, Vicky, Kali, Erica there? Are they some kind of very close people to him? why it was impossible to leave the family + Mike, Dustin and Lucas AT MOST.
how shitty was it to write a script for people to find out about the breakup (!!!) Jonathan and Nancy are FROM THE ARTICLE, NOT FROM THE SERIES. What's going on with Mike anyway? where is the very heart of the party, where are his emotions, why is he just wooden? why is the friendship of Will and Max shown better and closer than the friendship of Audie/Max and Will/Mike? What is Audie's reaction to Max's return anyway? Yes, hopper looked more joyful and emotional. By the way, why are Mr. Clark, Karen, and Max not at all surprised that Hopper is alive, if he officially died in the Season 3 finale and has been in hiding ever since? Isn't there too many "whys" for the penultimate episode of the last season of the series, which lasted 10 damn years
, and why does it feel like nothing important happened during those three episodes except for Max's return? for a whole month, they kept saying, "we've prepared something for you, Christmas will be dark, get ready," but in the end, NOTHING

So you didn't understand from their dialogue in the episode that they broke up? Nancy says that Steve is her friend, and she needs to find herself because she doesn't know what she wants. And Jonathan makes her an "un-proposal" (I don't know how it was officially translated), and this is not a marriage proposal, this is the last truth that the characters reveal to each other, thinking that both will die now. Plus, Jonathan says that he thought the offer would fix everything, although he understands that this is not the case.
And to tell the truth, this is a pretty logical conclusion of the whole trio, they all clearly have their own way.

This man was Brenner's father, infected with Mind Eater particles and altered blood. His son decided to dedicate his life to this topic. The man with the suitcase in the cave is a Soviet spy who stole a sample of Mind Eater particles from Papa's laboratory. Henry successfully "inhaled" this sample and the Mind Eater began to break it, the blood changed, abilities appeared, everything led to the drinking of animals, and then people.

I'm a little confused that this should be the final twist... but even before the season was released, they made a production where they revealed all this. Okay, not for a mass audience, but still. As I already wrote in my comment on this series, I'm pretty sure that Vecna/Henry sacrifices himself in the series finale, defeating the "evil" after Will in his mind.

@xlbuff: in principle, this is a good way to explain the whole background, but it is doubtful if the ending simply repeats the setting. Well, not many people have seen it, but there are a lot of retellings and filming from the audience on the Internet that are easy to find. I hope you're right about Vecna/Henry, and in general, I would like this to be the same cruel death of the character that we were also promised, and all the main characters would be left alone. and no self-sacrifice from Odie, please...

@kotovsky: The whole Max arc and the emphasis on the cave this season led precisely to telling Will about Vecna's weakness with the cave. This was also tied to Will's confession so that Vecna would not have power over him because of the secret, but Will now realizes that he can use Vecna's secret against him. Unfortunately, everything has already been talked about head-on in the last episodes and let down. This is how Henry's story will be revealed to the end.

@kotovsky: Honestly, I think there was a big scandal during filming, it was just hushed up and hidden by Netflix. There were rumors before the season. I also caught myself thinking in the first 4 episodes that something was wrong, but they brightened up the finale. And the minimum possible number of scenes with Audie speaks volumes, although it may be for the best, it's a very difficult game to watch. By the way, I now understand what kind of globe nominations they have here)

Will. My darling. I'm so glad that he finally revealed this secret (even if many people knew about it or guessed it). Finally, he accepted himself. As I understood it, this was the thing that Vecna was "manipulating" him with. Well, now let him bite it out. The jock from the hole

Well, there's no point in even talking about the fact that I'm happy for Maxie. I've been waiting for their reunion with Lucas all season, I've adored their couple since the second one. But what about their cute interactions with Max? "I'm afraid you'll have to hug me yourself." "Imagine that I'm hugging you very tightly."

I thought there would be an unpopular opinion, but I see that I am not alone. In short, the second volume kind of sucks.
- Nancy and Jonathan. What was that? A breakup? Could it have been clearer for the dumb?
"Will's confession is a good one. I don't think he needed so many viewers. It was enough to confess to my mother, maybe to my friends. I screamed hard on this stage, may the LGBT community forgive me, but really, who cares who he loves there? He was still a whiner.
- 8. Why is it needed at all? To lead an already maddening Odie astray? Millie's performance this season is something. I'm ignoring it. It wouldn't even be a pity if she died.
"Mike." Well, why should a baby suffer so much? He's literally the most normal character who doesn't get even a little time at all. They wrapped everything around him, but in the end, no one seemed to need him. I am very disappointed that he was not given a normal screen time. We don't really know anything about him.
- I know that many people love Karen, but I don't think her line is needed here at all. Where did she go after the hospital? Then why did they add it at all? Where are the other parents?

The only thing I like is Henry and Steve............ It's very interesting what will happen in the final. But it's like he's being locked up, for some reason it feels like that.

@alensss: The Duffers said it was a breakup. But this is not obvious to most. When Jonathan said I loved you, I understood that, and then he added I love you, and I was like, "Phew, it worked out, we didn't break up."

Today, the Duffers officially announced that

1) Nancy and Jonathan broke up (I didn't get it)
2) Mike understood what Will meant when he said about the crash (I understood this from Mike's look, but I expected a warmer reaction from Mike)

@alensss:
> Will's confession
I agree, it would have been more appropriate for him to either tell his mother + Mike intimately, or shout it out in some tense scene, like, he can't take it anymore... but to gather a crowd of just acquaintances (after all, he was aloof all seasons, for him these people remained strangers, by and large)

> Millie's game this season is something
This is generally the main mystery. And it's not clear if that's how the actress plays it, or if the character is so clumsy now? Maybe the character just became a "function" (You have to be serious and tough - that's why all the "snot" wasn't picked up, but was removed from the script altogether) - now she's just a "strong female character" without any emotions. It's obvious from her meeting with Max.

> I know that many people love karen, but I don't think her line is needed here at all.
I also support it. They don't focus on the development and completion of the main characters, but unexpectedly reveal a third-rate rambo, so that what? For what? There are plenty of such characters there anyway... her husband's line looks much more logical - the man has never really fought, met with a monster, did what he could -> lies badly injured (yes, I agree, it was necessary to remember him at least in the dialogues, the father still)

> Mike.
I'm not a fan of either the actor or the character, but if in previous seasons he played the role of some kind of leader of their little party, now every second one has become a leader, and it's as if the creators now don't understand where to put this character... He became some kind of decoration.

> The only thing I like is henry and steve
I agree. Steve is not bad, Dustin, in general, too - at least he hasn't changed much and, in general, he plays back his "adolescence" (hysterical, "rebellious" and all that)
Henry is just not bad, although he is endlessly shown, as someone mentioned here, as a "villainous villain.". But his motivation was apparently left for the last episode.

Very mixed emotions. Why they crammed so much plot into the last season is not clear to me. Why did they add a new concept that, according to Dustin, "changes our whole idea of the inside, everything we knew before." Because in fact, they won't close these plot holes for the last episode. Unless they add biting to new prequels, sequels, and spin-offs, just to milk the money. But you can tell me what happened before, 10 years since I've been watching.

A hodgepodge of everything, as usual, it was possible to make less new but cooler.
They added a suspicious eighth, it should probably ruin all the Odis, and if not, why would it?
They took a lot of time with Holly's branch. I like her, it's interesting, but she's not complete. It was necessary to make a Holly-Derek tandem in her branch, because they are the same age, but now Derek's drain has turned out, and as a character he is cool.
It's good that Max woke up, but why isn't she blind even though the eyelid blew her eyes out?... Well, thanks for being alive.
These memories of Henry, what was in the suitcase? Or is it still biting again so that they can watch the play?
These multiple worlds were made for nothing. Because this is the way we have it now: Henry's consciousness is the X dimension, the inside out, and only then Hawkins. Consciousness is very, very wasted here, we haven't had time to fully figure out the wrong side yet. There are also these soldiers.... Again? What for?

Well, anyway, our expectations are our problems, of course. But was it really their BEST scenario, I just don't believe it.....

The cuming out scene, well, to be honest, it's a pity so few people were invited to it. eleven, who didn't even hug Max, Max, who was told that the dead hopper wasn't dead at all, Mike Wheeler, oh, my beloved Mike, who in this costume resembles a piece of furniture. I hope the finale will be at the level of episode 4, and not this one.

Will's confession came out rather awkward, but that's how it should be. Otherwise, in a sense, it's even expected, it's a pity that some commentators can't accept the fact that there's nothing but friendship between Will and Mike.

Kali is pretty murky, I thought she was on El's side in the first volume, but she turns out to have a suicidal plan. You can understand it, but you don't really want to accept it.

I'm glad that Max is back, that the team has teamed up and come up with a plan, but, to be honest, it seems that because of the timing there is not enough time to show a normal relationship between the characters, for example, between El and Max (and they are such friends). I would like a separate episode where events don't run so fast and there is a break at least a little so that everyone can talk normally, but in the end we are shown pieces here, pieces there.

At least Steve and Dustin talked and reconciled, which is good news.

This season in general and in this episode in particular, there is an overkill with graphic depictions of child abuse.

We kind of understood what the whole image and MO of Henry was referring to, and these demonstrations with his hoses already look great, especially in combination with the way they show Holly.
Compare with the same Erica, she looked and still looks like a normal child, Holly looks like a participant in a children's beauty contest (famous hotbeds of various child abuse), it's all very somehow bad.

Noah is good! Will's fireplace-out scene turned out to be a little crinkly, but Noah coped. It's immediately clear that the script was written by straight men, but it will work for such a series. It would have been better if Will had revealed himself only to the party and mom with Al and Max, and not to everyone, but the Duffers tried to bring this to the main storyline, well, that's fine.

I understand the disappointment of some, after the strong first part, some expected the same strong second half, but it turned out to be quite difficult. In terms of this, it's a trivial respite and a lead-up to the season finale, which is sure to be quite intense. If there wasn't such a big break between the parts of the season, it would be better.

The series, alas, suffers from a lack of timing and an overabundance of characters, which is why some characters lack interaction, but in any case, there are enough strong moments in these three episodes. This is definitely not the final season of Game of Thrones.

Well, we are waiting for the final in exactly six days!

And that's exactly why, without hesitation and with determination, he went and hugged Will.

I didn't like the second half of the season. Firstly, for me, almost the entire cast has become weaker since about the third season. Everyone praises Schnapp, but I don't care about his game at all. but this is a complaint not only to the actor, but to everyone who built the character line. The cuming-out scene really should have been done with Mom, not with a crowd of people. I also don't like that Odi is a pure combat soldier AGAIN this season. Where is her interaction with other characters? Reuniting with Max? The dialogue between Nancy and Jonathan should be repeated between Mike and Audie, btv.

Yes, I agree. It's like they're no longer "alive", but just clumsily acting out the right emotion... moreover, it's probably not so much the fault of the actors as the scriptwriters and directors - they didn't just make stereotypical characters, but also gave them almost one emotion for the whole season... Odie is like a Rambo who came back from Vietnam and had PTSD.

I agree with many comments that the second half of the season seems to have subsided compared to the first. Everything is fast, crumpled, there is not enough regularity, then time is spent on the same dialogues to reveal the character of Will (who was remembered only by season 5, it was possible to start revealing him much earlier, so as not to waste precious time now)
Crumpled showed Eric, Murray and Mr. Clark, their invention for finding guys inside out; crumpled showed Dustin, Steve, Jonathan and Nancy inside out when they were already reunited... Rrrrr. The same fourth season was measured, we had time to follow the events, and here it's just a mess of malasha.
There's a lot of nonsense about the Wrong side, honestly. They showed it to us in the first season, in the second and in the fourth, so, in the fourth season, the guys walked around this inside out, and there was no wall there, they were in the laboratory in the first season, there was no stuff in the middle. I understand, of course, that when they were writing the plot for the first season, they weren't planning a sequel, but you can't write a plot that sloppily. After so many inside-out trips, have you ever found this wall that Steve crashed into? Seriously? I understand that they needed to include dimension X, but... They overdid it. They were very clever, and they also found Brener's documents, how did he know about the wormhole in the middle of the lab, when you yourself said that the wrong side appeared at the moment when 11 was looking for Henry (+- on the same day that Wil disappeared). Did he study everything inside out in a week of research? What nonsense...

Of course, there are a lot of emotional moments in the series, between Steve and Dustin, between Nancy and Jonathon, the return of Max, Holly's escape, Will's cuming out, the gorgeous Mrs. Wheeler, but behind the emotional moments, the creators began to forget about the logic of what was happening, and I initially loved this series for this amazing logic, chewing all the events and the regularity of even in the action. I hope that the last episode doesn't disappoint, although I can't imagine how they will fit everything into it.
As for Wil, by the way, the scene is great. In many works where there are superpowers, there is a pattern - strength is emotion, it is self-confidence. Will needed to open up to everyone and he did it, it was very cool and very touching. Jonathan, who suspected his brother last year, sunny, was most worried about his brother ❤️ And by the way, a fanfact for fans of seeing hints and love where there is none (regarding Mike's feelings for Will) - the very first of his friends rushed to hug Will Lucas, then Dustin, then Mike. For Mike Oddy, no matter how you twist love, although the chemistry between the actors, alas, was gone by the fifth season, in general, the guys had grown up a lot.

The military has been turned into crazy scientists... It would be logical, but also far-fetched - as if last season they wanted to kill Eleven because they thought she was the reason it was all happening, but no, they came up with this twist with pumping the blood of 8 and creating other special children. It sounds interesting, of course, but it doesn't fit in with the plot of other seasons.
Kylie is infuriating. The logic is clear, but it's self-sacrifice.... Fuck. The military base is inside out, their entire archive, all the research, it's all inside out, destroy the inside out - everything will be destroyed. And there is no need for any suicide attacks.
Also, of course, no one cares, but how they forgot and forgot about the minor characters. About Suzzy, who saved the world in season 3, about Argyle, who kind of stayed at Hawkins. In previous seasons, there was no such thing as characters being completely thrown out (

By the end, he succumbed to the general panic, and now Steve has been added to the short list of those Persians for whom he was most worried throughout the series. Especially considering that he is most often predicted to die in discussions... Well, now we have to wait until the first of January.

Oh yes, it already takes almost as much time to read the comments as it does to watch the episodes (I'm exaggerating, but still).

After the best episode of the season, they gave the weakest one. A minimum of what is happening, a maximum of exposure and preparation for the final.
Well, the most pretentious cuming out on TV.
They thought over the plan so much and didn't even think to look for the mine that Vecna is so afraid of, which, in theory, should be the key to any plan.

I am glad that Max has finally returned to the guys!!

When was the last time there were interactions between Nance and Dustin? at the end of the second season? Their hugs were so sweet and warm.

It's a pity that the Jancys broke up, but maybe it's for the best.

It's good to see that Mr. Clark is finally involved in the case! He fit in well with their squad :D

and it's so peaceful that Steve and Dustin were able to talk. I really hope they both stay alive in the final episode:(

Will's coming out scene was touching. he is so brave and strong : (I am very glad that everyone supported him and accepted him

I'm starting to suspect that Henry wasn't originally a maniac, psychopath, and Satan, but something possessed him in that mine. After he opened that suitcase.
Perhaps the real mindfighter from the Abyss is not Vecna at all, and Henry himself is just a vessel for some kind of infernal chthony.

@Rem_Day: to be honest, I can't quite believe it, his "normality", if I got the message right, then he stoned a man before he got any access to the paranormal, which means Henry wasn't the most normal child from the beginning, because a child in a situation where he is threatened with a gun WILL BE SCARED and try at least escape (especially after he was shot in the arm)

@ekko: as you correctly suspect, the play retconned the character.

I think the coolest character in the whole series is a physics teacher. They slow him down every time, he doesn't wonder if it's true or not, he doesn't whine, he doesn't talk about his feelings and problems. He takes and solves the problem, asking nothing for it, on pure scientific enthusiasm. And he doesn't even draw attention to himself, although he's obviously the smartest and coolest person here.
It's a stupid legend.

Even Karen gave up on her husband altogether, and he is in a more serious condition)

When Nancy came out with a tear-stained face, for the first few seconds I thought she saw Holly turn into mush when she fell!

Do the military want to produce more children with abilities at the same time, but at the same time they think they will catch Odi and solve all their problems? Sarah Connor clearly has not read the works of her predecessor, since she thinks that there is no third party in the conflict. It's like they're still in a bubble for 2-3 seasons.

Will's confession scene is strong. You can see how the reactions of individual characters have been worked out separately. But absolutely the whole ensemble in the room was not needed!

Derek seemed to have been leaked, but Holly and the other kids were surprised by the fight. I didn't expect this, taking into account all the usual security measures on the site, you obviously won't hire stuntmen there. And the children themselves no longer just believe Henry, but look like some kind of zombies.

Vecna's motive for connecting the two worlds is not particularly clear - just a villainous villain, only the means to achieve the goal were explained. It's unclear what kind of man with a suitcase was in the mine - casting a plot hook for the finale or just an Easter egg for a Broadway production?

And most importantly, how the Duffers are crying out for Audie's death! Personally, it seems to me that this little sister has found her "way out" not in death, but in helping Vekna, and in the end she will betray everyone.

The military is just a rofl, or an NPC for shooting at the fan.

The cuming out scene is really cool.

The fight scene really surprised me, it's like the spirit of Stephen King)

The guy is Dr. Brenner's father, I think. And the briefcase was a portal Inside, where Henry was accidentally transported at that moment and his Mind Flayer changed and gave him abilities.

Am I the only one who has the feeling that half of the cast is uncomfortable playing in scenes with Millie? For some reason, she always looks somehow alien next to the rest of the actors. And this is basically another season, when she is allegedly deliberately pulled out of the main storyline and given a minimum of joint scenes with other "children". In general, you forget that she is part of this group of friends, and not just an imbecile weapon, which is remembered only at the end of each season. And, as you've already noticed, there are questions about her acting. I stare blankly and don't believe in her love for Mike, I don't believe in her friendship with Max, and I stop believing that she sees Hopper as her father. All I see from her is a sour face and phrases like "decide for yourself."

@ebanygeek: it's especially funny to realize that for the entire series, almost all the characters have already been given a joint scene/plot in the order of "randomness" and the actors always cope and are chemical with each other, but no one is chemical with Millie for the second season in a row. And you can say things like, "it's all the Duffers who are stupid, they don't give you any joint scenes and stretch the plot with anything but that," which is also bullshit, because I remember that this season, significant moments like Steve's hand on Robin's shoulders often flash in the background. Robin, who hugs Max; Will, who hugs his mother. It's just a background, but when you see it, you understand without words how the characters relate to each other. I didn't even notice such background scenes with Millie.

The same Max might not have been resurrected, then the moments from season 4 would have been felt much more strongly. I just can't empathize with the characters, because I know that nothing will happen to them at all. Max's eyes have somehow recovered. I hope she was resurrected for a reason. The voltage is zero.

Will is still a power. One way and another, Vekna tries to break him, and in this episode we saw him broken again, but as it turned out, he was not broken again, but only became stronger. The cuming-out scene is a thrill and just an excellent performance by Noah, even realizing that everyone loves and accepts him, I felt excitement and fear, the actor gave the performance of the season. If last season was Sadie's benefit, Noah Schnapp is great at it. I love this guy. And, by the way, they were both the nicest when we first met.

Steve and Dustin are a balm to the heart. "I missed my best friend," well, what a charm) This friendship must not be spoiled, they must live.

Hopper, during the analogies with DnD, is the personification of a part of the audience that has never played in them)

Holly feels so sorry, after so many trials, to return to the starting point, and also to be subjected to such violence... Poor guy. I was hoping that she and Derek would somehow help each other keep their minds calm, but in the end, gaslighting and intimidation played a role.

The teacher joined the company like a good Persian.

A lot of people didn't like the scene of Will's confession, there were too many people, it was far-fetched, and so on, but I enjoyed this scene, brought me to tears, found it very touching, brave, and wonderfully acted. It's right that we gathered everyone, because they are already more than just a group of friends, they have already become a family, you need to have a lot more courage to open up to everyone than just your mother and brother. I think Jonathan understood what Will was getting at at the very beginning of his speech, and I think he was proud of his brother at that moment. It's good that everyone knows the truth, there's no need to hide from anyone. I can only name Kali as superfluous here.
The scene didn't seem out of place, on the contrary, it was the right time, Will realized that he would be a burden, he wouldn't be able to help his friends, maybe he wouldn't see them anymore, Vecna would have leverage over him, but now he was free from Vecna's influence, he no longer had to pretend, he was himself!
I also want to mention Steve's support for Robin!

I know I'm going to get a lot of downsides here for my opinion, but I don't really care.

It's just that we've been repeated 5 times in one season of Duffer. Even within the framework of one series, the characters panic because of a problem that has arisen - they cling to a random phrase from one of the characters and come up with a plan based on this. They're doing it. And again.

Each character considers it his duty to confess something at death's door for a long time, although it would be better to think about how to escape.

And all this several times even during the series.

And that's not bad, if appropriate, but it's so depressing. You know what the character is going to say, you're not interested. You're not looking forward to it. This has all been said before...fatigue.

And there are a lot of cool things at the same time. Cool action scenes, cool character openings (Will), cute moments, funny moments, but everything is self-replayed within the framework of even season 1!!

Apparently, it's just not my "cup of tea" anymore. I really hope that the finale will be stunning and will overcome all the shortcomings, but for now...maximum of 3.

I really don't like Kali, I can't help feeling that things aren't that simple with her. That is, by running away with El, she was able to create an illusion for cover, and when she was running away alone, no?, it is not clear... And all her talk about the lack of a future, let her do what she wants, but don't goad El! Maybe she really believes what she's saying and there's no hidden intent in her actions, or maybe she's under the influence of Vecna or Dr. Kay, I'm more inclined towards the latter option.
There is a feeling that not a sister and a sister will kill a brother, a brother and a sister will kill a sister. Kali is angry at people just like Henry, if she is not in cahoots with Henry now, then it is quite possible that they will unite.
I've been thinking about the final episode, the right side, who will choose it: Will, Henry, Al, each of the characters, but now I'm inclined to think that it will still be Al, go after Kali or go into a bright future with Mike and his family. Or maybe he will choose Kali, sacrifice himself, or try to end it all and move on.
I hope El doesn't go along with Kali, and Hopper keeps his word and saves El from Kali!

@Mango__: I enjoyed the second half of the season equally with the first. The only thing that upset me a little was that after such a powerful first half, such a finale, there were a lot of theories about what might happen in the second half: time travel, correcting the past, canceling Will's disappearance, November 6 is some kind of special date for the Age, the connection between the parents of the main characters and Henry, and so on further and the like, something powerful and large-scale! The problem is rather not in the very second half of the season, but in the incorrect arrangement of the episodes, the fifth season began to show action and tension from the first episode and did not lower the degree for four episodes, and the second turned out to be more measured and calm. If we had reversed some of the events of the season, it would have been more balanced and the difference would not have been so noticeable.
Remember the fourth season, objectively there is also not much action, the season went smoothly in the spirit of previous seasons, gradually bringing us to the most intense moments, rather than raising the bar from the very beginning.
I got everything I wanted from the other half (except for my theories): The return of Max, the revelations of Will, the dialogue between Nancy and Jonathan, and of course my best friends Steve and Dustin!
Steve and Dustin are actually a separate story, all their scenes together are just amazing, both in the first half and in the second, I'm ready to give each episode five stars just for their interaction! I hope everything will be fine with them, and they won't lose each other and we won't lose them!
To sum up, we were promised emotions, a bucket of tears, we got them, not from actions, but from words, but maybe it's even better!

I started watching for the first time a week ago and it's hard to wait for the last episode, I don't know how some people have been waiting for the sequel since the release of the first season.
With each season, I could see how the actors grew up, what kind of kids they were in the beginning and now, I'm waiting for the finale to come out!!

Before burning the bridge Inside Out, Will burned the bridge behind him, telling everyone about himself.
For some reason, it seems to me that he will not survive, and Mike will walk around with a sad face at the end. I also think 11 will change her mind about dying in the end, and she will have a final battle with 8.

WILL, GOD, I'M SO PROUD OF HIM.:((((((
I can imagine how difficult it was for him to go through this whole path of self-acceptance and how long he thought about it, I'm so glad that he told everyone, his whole team, I'm happy that he was able to overcome himself and admit
I'm proud.
Murray, of course, was the best giggler, and Mr. Clark was also very funny, of course, the cool
one for Max was incredibly happy, I was crying the moment she woke up, Lucas is a huge guy, always there at the right moment

This season, Vecna / Henry is as canonical a pedophile as possible, who would doubt it.
Very cool Duffers spun with time space and another dimension, not just mysticism.👌🏼
Although I know very little about science, it is very interesting to watch.
Now I'm even more worried about everyone, I don't want to see any of my favorite characters die (I hope the Duffers will feel sorry for as many characters as possible)

Well, I liked the second part as a whole. Yes, there are controversial points, (in general, the whole situation is about what the wrong side is. But I remember that someone, somewhere, put forward a similar theory before the release of part 2, so maybe it's not so controversial, but rather just confusing.). Yes, somewhere a piano is in the bushes (when Jonathan and Nancy were inside out and revealed their feelings to each other, in fact they they wouldn't have survived, or when the demogrgans ran after Max). Yes, there are prolonged moments, or a feeling of crumpling, but as if they are not so significant.
There is also a controversial point (since, judging by the comments, everyone understood it in their own way) namely, when Nancy and Jonathan were talking about feelings, it was as if I understood from this scene that Nancy wanted to take a break between them to understand what she wanted in general..
But despite all this, part 2 was very emotional for me, sometimes I had to pause the episode to cry (especially at the moment when Dustin stopped Steve from being a hero, and in general their relationship this season is 10/10!)
I also noticed that everyone reacted differently to Will's admission, I was rather embarrassed to watch it, but at the same time I was very proud of him.(by God, it's like watching your own son)
I'm more afraid of the ending...I'm very afraid of being disappointed, or if the main characters die (fans have already saved Steve 10 times)
Plus, it really bothers me that literally everything screams about the death of Odie or Will, but at the same time, the Duffers promised that none of the main characters would die. 🤔

AAAAAAAAA, it was the penultimate episode! There's only one left, and that's the end! I don't want to lose them, they've already become so dear.
A soulful episode, the calm before the storm as expected. But it seems to me that the Duffners took the safest path, the losses will only be in the last series, but they could have started earlier, although I think especially impressionable fans will throw stones at the early murders of the heroes.
Poor Holly, she was already free once, and now she's going through this hell again with full awareness, unlike the others.

Max's return is very touching.

Karen is an absolutely heroic woman, BUT about her husband and Mike's dad/Everyone forgot Nancy, it seems, even the screenwriters)) although he is also literally in the same hospital.

robin's jokes are really cringe-worthy sometimes, about Steve's sex is too much, especially in the presence of children and a school teacher, damn it)

The scenes with Steve and Dustin are almost tearful again. How touching and how good it is that they finally had a heart-to-heart talk.

Will's cuming out is one of the best scenes of the series and the incredible work of Noah Schnapp, but I wanted some more emotional reaction from Mike or someone to say "dude, I always knew that")
I think Robin didn't admit to everyone right away because she didn't want to draw attention to herself That was Will's true moment

and yes, it seems to me that the "most terrible character death" that the Duffers promised us would be teacher Mr. Clark : (And of the main guys, only Will will die, it all started with him, and it will all end with him.

and yes, the warriors are just the biggest rofl of the series, always incompetent NPCs who are destroyed by Nancy with m16 in aim practice mode)) by the way, the creators really have a fetish for Nancy + firearms. Linda Hamilton brings nothing at all in this role, you could take plus or minus any aunt/ uncle with a serious face.

and again, I'll note the "safety" from the inside, where everyone walks like an ordinary Hawkins, no armies of bats or dogs for you. Well, it's a convention

Ugh, the three episodes have flown by unnoticed again, we are waiting for the big two-hour finale as a gift under the Christmas tree! It will be a pity to say goodbye to your favorite characters.

Now I'm wondering how alien the third season looks compared to the others. Is it because we've been watching the evil age for two seasons now, and there was the tormentor of reason himself?
It is clear that the plot was invented after each season and tried to somehow connect with each other.
For me, this whole fifth season has been stomping on the spot. There are enough important turns for two episodes, the rest of the time is eternal conversations. Anyway, let's see what we're waiting for in the finale, but I'm afraid they'll merge.

Of course, everything is interesting and all that, but how could such a plot impulse of three episodes be ruined by a final disgusting cuming-out? Disgusting in the sense that the epic message itself was completely completed... well, it could have been played out somehow differently, because that's how he started vividly and clearly... and so in general, events are developing epically, Max is back, Steve is alive, Will is doing a great job!

by the way!
Today, the Duffers officially announced that

1) Nancy and Jonathan broke up (I didn't get it)

When Jonathan said I loved you, I thought, "damn, this is the end," and then he added, "I love you," and I was like, "Phew, it didn't work out, we didn't break up."
But they broke up anyway, apparently
It's funny in its own way, because before the expected end of life, people usually swear in love to the grave, and these two found catharsis in the other, admitting to each other and themselves that they would not take out more

2) Mike understood what Will meant when he said about crash

(I understood this from Mike's look, but I expected a warmer reaction from Mike)

Perhaps we should start with the obvious? fuck the cuming out, I'll be honest because I didn't ship, I didn't Audition with Will, I understood that there would be a cuming out, but of course I imagined it a little differently, but I like how it turned out and yes, it was awkward, but honestly it was more awkward until the very cuming out at the moment you just believe that the characters you they will meet your expectations and give you a reaction, well, actually the one that was given, I really don't understand why there was an 8th in this scene at all (and to be honest, among my friends, I think everyone understood that Will was talking about Mike) I also liked that Lucas was the first of WILL's FRIENDS to support him, as if after so long after season 1 and the Lumax relationship, it was a little bit lost on how important Will is to Lucas, and it's amazing.

and here's another important topic for me personally, this is the 8th, I really hoped when the first volume was released that she would still be fully on the side of our team, and as if she were with us, and as if without us, I wanted sisterly love, at least some kind of origin, but now honestly I don't want to see 8 on the screen at all, and I don't want to imagine the development of events according to "their" plan with Audie, and the bonus is already painful in advance for hopper if they try to pull something like that, don't force him to lose another daughter..He won't survive this, not me.

in general, the series is also cool, but probably according to the set of all the components from the second volume, the 6th series turned out to be the coolest for me.

I'm disappointed. No, it's not bad! It... simply. Predictable. It still looks fascinating, but am I looking forward to the finale? To complete the epic, yes. To find out the ending? Not really.

I'm sorry, I'm a stale cracker, but the reunion of couples like Max and Lucas doesn't really bother me, cuming out and Will's acceptance of himself is cool, but damn, we kind of saw it at the end of the first volume, and it was cool, emotional! The actor is smart, but we're going around in circles.

As a result, the characters' personal arcs were very competently closed, and all the couples were given their own logical arcs... but the plot went the simplest way. We have a Bastard who wants to destroy the world in order to rule it, we will beat him. all. It looks logical. This is probably the final battle with a standard villain. But how boring and flat!

No wow-turns about Henry, no wow-turns from the Inside Out (although they explained what it was), no wow-turns with the torturer of the mind, another dimension, the military. No unexpected plot twists... in fact, for the entire fifth season we ride on flat rails, we see the station, and I would so much like to hope that this is not the final one, which was predictable for the last couple of seasons, but something like that! But no. We are approaching that very station, and this is the final one along the way.

And it's good. It's logical. But something is missing.
It's like I unwrapped a gift under the Christmas tree, and there's a Barbie instead of a gun, I'm a girl, I have to love Barbie. And I love it! But I wanted a gun. With bullets.

I would have been happy with any of the plot developments, I'm not a fan of certain theories (except for time travel, I didn't like them very much), but in the end it turned out that the events didn't develop in any way. Storylinally, we were at the end of the fourth season, and we stayed there.

And I totally agree, I didn't really care about Will/Mike/Audie either, but I love Dustin and Steve. And in principle, I understand that just as we were given these two and their emotional moments, so was everyone else: the return of Max, Max/Lucas, and Nancy./Jonathan/Steve is finally resolved. And even Hop/Joyce was not forgotten with a very touching parenting theme, that parents always mess up, but it's OK. Ah! They even showed Robin/Wiki! We haven't forgotten anyone at all!

But where is my plot, the plot! Any theory was good, but in the end none of them is true, because we wanted too much, but for now we're just going to beat the Heads of the Bastard as standard.

Yes, we don't know who you are, we immediately suspected that you would betray us.

Why does Holly have so much screen time in season 5? She has only an open mouth in 95% of the scenes for 5 seasons, she has practically no influence on the plot. According to Laura, she should be no more than 11 years old, she was recently spoon-fed by her mother, and now she is being played by an actress who is 14? Of course, no one will explain this.
When Erica was introduced as a character, everything about her was attracted: this charisma, this character, after all, "You can't spell America without Erica", and what kind of amoeba is this that has been given SO MUCH time? So that what?
I was waiting for Volume 2 of these 3 episodes as a gift from Santa Claus, but apart from the cringe chatter, inappropriate cumingouts (otherwise his friends didn't realize that he didn't like girls) and the return of Max (the goddess), nothing else happened, in fact. It seems like so many minutes have been viewed, and events can be counted on the fingers of your hand.

Imho, the weakest episode of the season, all the events and relationships of the characters could fit in 20-30 minutes.
Overall, the season is great and interesting, I'm just probably used to having something "strong" before the break, as it was in season 4 and with Will in episode 4 of this one.
At the end, I'll leave my predicate just for myself.
Hopper's death, Will's death, Sister's Death 11.
Steve's death/Dustin. Rather, it will be Steve, logically speaking, for drama and logic, but I do not believe that both will survive after their phrase "If you die, I will die" (but I really want to be mistaken)
11 will survive, but will not return to our world, will find a way to communicate with Mike through his powers (although now it seems like it is impossible, but I think they will find how)
Dare someone from Holly/Nancy/Jonathan. It's really into the sky here, but I think that the way the story goes, it should happen. Holly may be pitied as a child, Jonathan should most likely survive Will's death (otherwise Joyce's fate is an incredible spectacle). Nancy is most likely the most realistic death outcome of these three.

As much as all the characters and the plot looked organic in the first part, they also somehow looked disjointed in the second and very inappropriate. Everything seems to be fine, but there is a slight aftertaste of bewilderment. The biggest plus is the return of Max. I don't share the opinion of those who said that it would have been better if she had been killed, as she was very organically integrated into the whole season. I liked her line with Holly, and Holly in general, it's a pity that the season is the last, I would also like to get to know her better as Lucas' sister. It was quite unexpected when Vecna brought her back to himself so quickly. Max and Lucas burst into tears on stage, it was very touching for the guys, for me Sadie remained the strongest female actress in the teen league. There's no point even talking about Dustin and Steve, it's just the best male bromance this season for sure. Otherwise, there are more questions and, again, confusion. As I understand it, Nancy and Jonathan's breakup was supposed to be at least slightly dramatic, but it didn't work out because it's unclear why it's at the end of the series. Nancy was fine with Jonathon because she was completely herself with him, and I never saw a serious reason to break up. It seems to me that if she had just said that the feelings were gone, it would have been somehow plausible. Thank you for not bringing Steve together, and I hope that they won't in the end, because they are really very different people with different views on life. They both deserve people they can be comfortable with for the rest of their lives. Something strange has been happening to Millie since the very first episode of the season. If earlier her pompous look and detachment were appropriate in the first seasons, when she was a child and when Audie first got to the guys, now it looks very strange, since she has found a family and her soulmate. Especially against the background of the other guys and even Will, who also went through hell, but even he was able to cheer up. Her emotional growth of Audie's character seemed to have disappeared somewhere. It was as if she was playing through her strength. What's in Virgo and Dragon, and what's in OSD, it's exactly the same. And yes, I usually try not to be overly biased in terms of appearance, however, these inflated lips generally spoiled her image, against the background of the 80s and the naturalness of the makeup of the others, it was too conspicuous as something foreign. There's not a single scene with Max, even though they were friends in previous seasons. The chemistry with Mike was gone, too, as if they were hugging each other, too, through sheer force. Mike, however, remained the same on his own, and Will's reaction was absolutely adequate. In his place, it seems to me that any normal person would initially be taken aback by the surprise of such a discovery, and then would still say something in terms of "you're still my friend." What the schippers would like is the problem of the impossible desires of the schippers themselves, since Will has always been a friend to Mike, if it were different now, it would be a drain on the whole character. Although if Mike and Audie had broken up, it would have been much more logical than Jonathan and Nancy, there were much more prerequisites here. Will's cuming-out would have fit in much better in the first part, rather than five minutes before the departure for the decisive battle, but we have what we have. And yes, I support the opinion that it would be more appropriate in a narrower circle. A mother, Jonathan, Mike, Dustin, Lucas would have been enough, because no matter how good the others were, no one else had an emotional connection with Will except Robin this season, so it looked strange. But Noah just continues to shine this season, I can't stop being happy for him. The funnel and wall theme is very striking because it was clearly invented this season, as the question arises why they hadn't run into this wall before in previous seasons, since the whole Underside rests on it. Henry's story was given in one piece, not a word about the Torturer of the Mind, but it was the penultimate episode. One gets the impression that in this case it would not hurt to film two more episodes additionally before the finale. Kali generally looks awkward and foreign, the feeling that someone had to be shoved into the future traitors of the team and decided to shove her.

I've been sitting in suspense the whole episode, having some strange premonition that Dustin or Steve might die, although I think more of Dustin.. It's just that their dialogues are tearful, especially in the last episode, when Dustin told Steve on the stairs from the Inside out that he couldn't lose him, and in this episode their dialogue is that they are with each other "to the end.". Before that, I was worried about Max all season, finally returned, and now I'm worried about their tandem.

Even in the last episode, Max talked to Holly Inside Out for so long, walked so slowly to Lucas's song, I just "Run! Run away!" No nerves will be enough with them.

I liked the piece with Steve and Dustin — this is their quiet “reassembly" before the final approach. Not because it's "touching at all", but because inside this particular episode it works as an anchor: against the background of the fact that the plan has already taken shape (and, in fact, looks like a one—way ticket), they finally talk to each other without the usual jokes and bravado - and it becomes clear how much both are really afraid and how important this connection is to them. And the thrill is that the scene doesn't squeeze out a tear with music or pathos: it's short, honest, and almost mundane. That's why I love these moments: the series reminds us that the finale is not based on Laura, but on the fact that these two are family to each other.

My bets are on who will die in the final battle.: Dustin, Audie, Eight, Maeby Jonathan.
Come on, when the final episode comes out, I want to check if I was right.

The 2nd part of the season left about no impressions, I was so looking forward to it, but in fact nothing really happened... At the confession, Willa didn't know where to hide, I was so embarrassed at that moment, God.

I don't know why it wasn't obvious to many that Nance and Jonathan broke up, I realized it right away, it was sad, but the main thing is that both are still alive. And it's a good thing Nancy won'T choose Steve, they're in the past. It's a pity about Steve's feelings, of course, because obviously he's still in love with Nancy.

The eighth one is very infuriating with her speeches about death, and with her whole appearance in general, they brought her back...

Shtosh. One week, and we're in the finals. I'm waiting.

@YellowHeart: I was also thinking about the final battle, it seems to me that they will die as a result: Dustin, Eighth from the Inside Out (I don't really believe her at all, she often calls Henry her brother, she also wants to sacrifice herself to save the world, Odie also inclines, I don't believe her heroism, her words), Max, when will she help Odie (Although she had only escaped, suddenly Vecna would come back for her, avenge her escape. I'm very worried about her, besides, she's still physically weak after waking up) and Hopper when she's going to save Odie. I thought about Will, but it would be too cruel, considering what he's been through all the seasons.

I usually don't write reviews until the end of the series, but it's impossible to resist here. What a dreary shit this is. The first 4 episodes of the season are just normal, but these are just shocking how bad it is. I read your comments and I can't help but wonder, "Did we watch exactly the same thing?" I'm reviewing the first seasons at the same time (I fell for the rils with Steve and Dustin. They just warm my heart. I've finished 3 seasons so far). And what can I say? It's like watching supernatural after season 6: you feel the maximum scenario degradation. Not once in all these seasons have I been able to predict what the characters will say. That is, literally: I see Joyce and Hopper in the same frame after Will is in a "coma." And I can guess exactly what the dialogue will be about. If they used to make references to pop culture, now they make references to absolutely all bad TV shows. By "bad" I mean disgusting dialogues. They spoil every tense scene. Jonathan and Nancy. I can see the rate of flooding in your room. And you keep cooking for 10 minutes. The tension is completely relieved. Lucas and Max. To believe that a woman who could barely speak had silently dragged a gas cylinder through half of the hospital is like turning your head off completely. So then she screamed. And the heroes themselves were surrounded by dogs so slowly that it was amazing when the dogs had previously run at maximum speeds to the Max ward, but being controlled by Vecna, they behaved like real dogs or seals and went to look at the washing machine drum.
Many people write that everything is crumpled, the timing is small. Guys, maybe it's all about the useless scenes? The season 4 series managed to develop both the characters and their relationships without 1-on-1 scenes with dialogue lasting 10 fucking minutes. These three episodes run for an hour each, of which there are 30 minutes of dumb and useless dialogues. I'm thrilled with the first 4 seasons, but purely because of this season, I don't want to revisit it.

@klevun: There wasn't enough room. And everything feels so bad, so ridiculous. If in the first 4 episodes this absurdity even seemed to be in place with the wonderful character of Derek, then here they just did "fuck off". I think a lot of people have rhymes about not wanting Steve and Dustin dead. I really didn't want that. However, I don't care anymore. Just because Steve's death will make the script failure even more noticeable. This is the cheapest way to evoke emotions: kill the characters that most viewers liked. I understand that my expectations are my problems, but there is only emptiness inside. I think back to what I saw in the three seasons over the last week, and how season 4 made me feel two years ago, and I don't understand. I honestly don't understand how people can be excited about this. I wholeheartedly envy everyone who likes IT.

@kiprian_zhurov: because when they were writing the script for season 1, there wasn't much else to think about, and there wasn't a timeline yet. then they thought that Henry would get into dimension X and it would change him (or something like that, it was in the play "The First Shadow" and apparently they would tell in the finale, xs ...) and under the influence of the torturer he would become the main villain.

Disclaimer: I really love the first two seasons.

So far, the final season of Stranger Things is an illustration of Netflix's approach to milk stories as much as possible —secondarily, tightly, predictably, with the same cheap suspense-fueling techniques.
Especially the second part of the season.

  1. The characters have become even more parodies of their own - they speak uncomplicated speeches of 3-4 sentences every 5 minutes, like to chat when necessary, without thinking about running, and show emotions only excessively so that they can be read even if you watch without sound.

  2. The idea of "teenagers against monsters" plays against its creators - by the fifth season, the characters are still not coordinating their actions, separating, creating game, as if everything is for the first time.
    The concept of "taking a similar situation from another piece of pop culture and it fits perfectly with us" is exploited to the point of degeneration - any first metaphor comes up: when a character says "what if?"- be sure, now it will be a correct or almost a guess.

  3. Plot tensions for the sake of cheap suspense reach a new level - the mother is unclear when and how she throws an oxygen tank into the washing machine,

  4. The idea that the underside is a pipe between worlds is outwardly beautiful, but (so far) out of tune - why was Hawkins imprinted on the underside in 1983?

  5. The military (actually the same people) are completely dehumanized, now they can be killed not only in moments of self-defense, but also simply when you invade a military facility and it is served with pathos and cheerful music

We are waiting for the finale, but so far it feels like if there were 3 seasons in this story (the first 2 and the best of the 4th and 5th in the third), we would get a top series of the level of Darkness. But the decision to stretch the series led to the fact that fresh techniques became hackneyed, we saw a lot of filler self-replays and the concentration of a big story on a couple of MAIN MYSTERIES.

Honestly? The people who expected an explosive effect from the second volume deceived themselves. The beginning should have been impressive, the ending should have been spectacular, but meridian should prepare for this impressive ending, somewhere to resolve conflicts from the beginning, somewhere to give an explanation of the courtyard, which we got. If they merge the finale, then you can still go crazy)

The seventh episode was delayed so much that only the episode with Kali from the second season remained below, and it is clearly not so bad (by the way, as well as the series with Kali, which provides a lot of interesting information about the device of Dad's experiment)

I began to worry about bytes for death, without deaths. Like, look, our main characters are in danger of death, but nothing is in danger. Max was killed, but not killed. The heroes are dying, but not anymore. It's as if the creators don't have enough balls to kill the main character and such cheap bytes happen, and unfortunately it just got boring.

And I don't really care what happens in the final episode, who will die and who will stay alive, because the series has lost all its serial essence.

Just imagine that in the conditional Breaking Bad, the characters would not have been killed until the very finale, and Walt would still be alive, simply because Vince Gilligan has no idea where to lead his own series. There wouldn't have been an amazing episode with Hank's death, there wouldn't have been an amazing ending, there wouldn't have been a bunch more amazing episodes.

That's what happens in Stranger Things, there's nothing, all the main characters have fierce story armor, I just don't worry about any of them anymore, and I don't care what happens in the finale. Since the ending should be the culmination of all events, and not the killing of all the heroes, for the sake of killing all the heroes, it literally won't mean anything.

Well, it's bad if the creators have to give interviews about the scenes and explain the plot, then this means only one thing that they could not cope with their role in creating the series. It should be clear to the average viewer what he saw, he should not run to look for an interview to understand the interpretation of the scene by Duffers, this is a very bad scenario.

I'm madly in love with the fourth season, but the fifth is still a game and the last episode is unlikely to fix anything.

@Andrey1555: Indeed, in almost every interview, both the creators and the actors said that none of the characters were safe and many would have to say goodbye, but so far only demogorgons, demos and extras are suffering. Unlike the same fourth season, which really had a lot of tin. Max's "resurrection" was also made, in my opinion, only because of her large fan base. Because of such scenario moves, you almost don't worry about the characters anymore.

Will's monologue and Max's return are the most enjoyable and touching moments in the series. I'm also glad for Ms. Wheeler that she's alive and on the mend.

I will answer those who think that Will's coming out was inappropriate. All his friends had found a mate by the end of the series.: Mike has Aud, Lucas has Max, Dustin has Susie; Jonathan and Robin are not far behind either. And what about Will? In this regard, he had only an internal struggle with himself, and the fear of being rejected. It would be unfair and terrible if by the end of the series everything remained that way, and he was left alone, not accepted. Acknowledging friends and accepting himself is the least Will deserves after everything he's been through, and I'm very glad that the writers didn't forget about his character before the series finale. Now you can safely embark on the final battle with Vecna.
Bravo, Will, you're a good girl!

I really agree with the comments that this scriptwriters' game "now this character is going to die - ah, we got caught, but he didn't die" got tired. The plot of this season lacks the drama of at least one death, not of the military, but of the main character.
I already thought that Holly would crash, her death would become even more motivation for the heroes to destroy Vecna, and Vecna himself would be delayed a little while he was looking for another child to replace. Don't think about it, I like Holly as a character. But damn!

Plus, like many people, I didn't realize that Nancy and Jonathan broke up in that scene with the ring. In my opinion, it's not OK when the scriptwriters have to give a separate interview and explain the plot. Can't it be filmed so that we can figure it out for ourselves?

I hope we won't have to look for explanations for the final episode in the interview later.

So!!!

Traditionally, she screamed and cried🤝

1. Well, Will's monologue is predictable, and we weren't surprised, but it's great that it happened in a full-fledged way, and not in a crumpled way.

2. But the dialogue between Dustin and Steve bothered me. I yelled at them not to let me die here. I'm not sure they'll listen.

3. The flying boat theme for Kali and Jane: honestly, for some reason it's so crystal fucking that words can't even describe it. It's amazing what the center of the series Audie was originally, how I fuck the scenes with her now. Die = heroic, selfless, fancy, stylish. Won't die = happy ending in the general sense of the word. But I'm not worried about her at all.
You've already figured out who I'm worried about.

4. In the shot where the match was held to the first candle at the end, I was like, "Henry, do you have a date with a bunch of kids, my dear?"
What a bastard, I love him.

5. For some reason, I didn't expect things to get worse with Holly like this. Like this very fact of brute force that she used on the children, and they used on her, turned the situation into a waking nightmare in my understanding, for some reason it felt like a very scary thing, like when you dream that you came to school naked, but then in this dream everything went even further

@Slyther_In:
1. I agree, the timing was not chosen for this (it was better at the beginning of the season), but the scene is top. I wanted a warmer reaction from Mike, because he realized that he was crash Willoughby.

2. If one of them dies, the Netflix subscription will die) but rather it's all a red herring, a red herring. Mr. Clark (rip) is going to die, and he's going to die a terrible death. And maybe someone from the main cast, my bet is on Will.

3. Crystals. The eighth one is infuriating, you could have never thought about it at all. Her skills have never been used for the benefit of the operation, she only demotivates Audie and inclines her to self-intoxication.

4. Charismatic actor, no doubt!

5. It seems to me that Holly has been given too much time, despite the fact that her acting is noticeably weaker than the rest of the cast

When I came out of the closet, I really almost died. I have never experienced such a mega cringe. He understood what was going on, paused, gathered his strength, and paused again. I ended up watching this scene for 10 minutes. It's just awful, we could have left it unsaid.

And again, they talk too much about time. Dustin said in plain text about the "time jump". Most likely, they will return to the moment when Henry got the suitcase with his abilities. That's the only point of this scene.

Of course, the impression is not perfect... there is only one episode left and the plot has grown into such an incomprehensible tedium that it honestly doesn't matter how it ends, and half of the characters on the screen have never talked to each other, but for some reason they are present at the fireplace out party. 😭

@Avenzeles: It's not a slurry. It was the house itself that was melting. As you may have noticed at the time of their arrival, this is not the first time this has happened. He was already melting like this and then solidified with the soldiers stuck in this very mud. And they died, apparently, just when everything froze. From thirst, hunger, etc. So love has nothing to do with it.

Nevertheless, it is a pity that the production cannot be seen anywhere except in the theater. I read the story, tried to watch the version taken from the audience on YouTube, but it's not the same. It's a bit of a shame that a fairly large layer of ent is simply carried past the spectator's nose.

Everything is a bit murky with Kali, I admit that she may have secret plans. By the way, it's unclear why it wasn't possible to use her power to break into the base.

But her plan to self-destruct looks logical, which is why Dr. Kay was introduced to us - there is no Brenner, but there is still someone who wants to use El. If not Kay, there will be someone else.

I'm glad that Will referred to Mike as his Tammy (I had a lot of fun on this stage that he might accidentally burn Robin, which only two of those present know about). Well, I haven't seen them plot together at all, and we don't need another triangle before the finale.

I really hope that flenser won't be the main evil after all, because human evil is more interesting than otherworldly evil, and such a twist will essentially negate the fourth season. From what I've heard, the Duffers didn't seem to confirm that the play was straight out of the canon, although I tried not to read too much to avoid spoilers. But they'll definitely tell you about the briefcase, you don't just hang up a gun like that.

It's also clear now where all the monsters are - they were just recalled from the Inside Out as unnecessary.

It's hard to predict deaths, but watching the Duffers hype on Steve's death, I somehow even calmed down for him. It's too blatant if he really dies. Maybe Will, since he opened up to everyone and everyone accepted him. And probably El, because this story really won't end with her, and from their discussion with Mike about "what happens after", it's clear that for them there shouldn't be a after according to the law of the genre. Hopper may be because he said in prison that he believes he stayed alive to help El. And if he could help her in some final way now... Anyway, it's better they both die than he loses his other daughter already. Mb Dustin as a follower of the heroic tradition of Steve and Eddie. Lucas is just reunited with Max.

In general, almost any character can be drawn from this team. Well, except for those who recently joined, because there won't be much heat from their death, there's no point in it.

Mike enters the room and is very happy to see Max back, but expresses zero emotions to his mom, who also woke up after a coma and severe injuries, a strange guy
Somehow, the episode didn't even feel like a pre-final, it seems like there's so much more to show and tell us how it's all going to fit in the last two hours. And it's not clear, either in the last episode they'll arrange a meat grinder and kill everyone, or we were deceived and there won't be the cruelest ending, let's see what happens.
It scared me that Steve and Dustin repeated again that You die - I die, right before the finale it's scary, please don't kill them 🥹🥹🥹
Sister El is infuriating, of course, but you think everything is pointless, don't drag her along while she's alive - she can fight, she can endlessly destroy new laboratories and move to other countries, it's still better than taking and dying like this
And I'm also glad that Byler is not canon, well, I didn't see any reciprocation from Mike, I saw in him just a friend who loved El very much as a girl, and loves Will as a best friend, I don't understand why everyone saw Mike and Will as a couple. Will has earned himself a good boyfriend who will reciprocate his feelings.

@naskravchenko: There is something, yes, she was quite conscious, but on the whole, it's frustrating how much Mike doesn't seem to care about anything. His father is dying, his mother is barely alive, his sister is on the inside, the military is hunting for him (however, as always), the world is potentially ending soon, but he calmly understands the plans / argues about the music for the bomb / drinks coffee

The only thing I remember from the entire season was his vivid reaction to Will's abilities and Max's return, and the rest just didn't happen at all. And a funny scene from the bathroom when rescuing children)

It's clear that everyone has their own defense mechanisms under stress, but I have a feeling that the chubby boy is more worried about his family than Mike. Well, ofkos Lucas for Max.

For some reason, there was a feeling that almost everyone would die in the last episode.: Hop, 8, Mike, Dustin and Steve, and so on. but! Since it's a wormhole, there's been a lot of talk about clocks, time and space, and so on. There is an assumption that 11 will somehow, perhaps with someone's help, BRING everything BACK to the very beginning. That is, we will see all the deaths and so on, as in one famous vampire movie, but it turns out that this is not the end. And in the finale, life in Hawkins will be the way it should have been before the bridge, 11, and generally everything related to the Torturer of the Mind. Jane herself will end up somewhere in another version of Dimension X, where she will live near waterfalls.

I'll add more. A lot of characters are great, but with the loss of screen time, they also lose their personality. Mike has become just a function of the main character - their relationship with El exists just for show and does not develop in any way. They seem to be happy to see each other every time and worry, but there is zero interaction and chemistry. Will seems to be a better friend to his mom now than to Mike. Perhaps it shows a natural growing up, when you are less connected with old friends, but then why constantly declare that they are best friends when they are not.
But Nancy and Jonathan were well divorced. They remained close people, but already on their own.

Will has tough feelings, their mother reproaches herself for being overprotective and then vice versa for inciting Will to action, but Jonathan doesn't seem to be particularly interested in either his mother or Will, he was somehow active only in competitions with Steve and in showdowns with Nancy..

Why is there an Eighth and Mr. Clark? God, that's crazy. Also, the Duffers forgot Will's birthday. Seriously??? Did they just forget their own character's birthday?? It's that bad...

Seriously??

It is clear that he is skilled, but they could have kept him at a distance like Max, having received all the devices in advance, would have explained everything to Dustin on the walkie-talkie. Hopper had been grumbling at Odie for half a season that the inside was dangerous and that everyone should stay away from her (it was clear that the military was looking for her, but still), but in the end he had zero questions about dragging all the children and teachers there..

It's amazing how many people are unhappy with the acting and plot twists. Personally, I make the directors' decisions and try to understand why the story develops the way it does. Even if everyone's life may hang in the balance in the next episode, I would be sincerely pleased to see everyone alive and get a real happy ending so that all the darkness eventually turns into bright notes.

I'm not a homophobe, but what a blunt and cloying agenda this season is...

So much attention is paid to Will's orientation, and at the most critical moments (you have the fate of the world at stake there right now), that it just looks inappropriate. And it would also be fine if there were any prerequisites for this, but in previous seasons there was only one mention that Will was bullied at school because of his alleged orientation, while Will himself did not say that he suffered because of this (in any case, this was not shown).

But this season, he suddenly began to suffer a lot and was driven by it, so much so that he had to pay so much attention to coming out.

Of course, revealing the topic of self-acceptance is quite wonderful, it adds depth to the characters, reveals them, but not when it is done so head-on and without prerequisites.

If they had stopped at Will's conversation with Robin (in episode 4) and closed the subject, there would have been no questions at all. In episode 4, everything was done well and everyone would find the right meaning for themselves, associating themselves with the character and his problems, empathizing with him (for someone, self-acceptance is to admit that you, for example, are not handsome / weak / different from your peers, for others - that you are of a different orientation), after all, the authors have shown the necessary and sufficient minimum.

But when you are shown a character's problem in a straightforward way, which seems to have grown out of thin air, and besides, they concretize the problem so much that you can no longer somehow associate the character's problems with your own, it becomes impossible to empathize with the character. It just feels somehow wrong, somehow unnatural, as if an instruction was given to show the summons and now we have shown it.

But judging by the comments here, people like everything. But it's not for me to judge them.

@vadikos: "suddenly I started to suffer and get trapped," are you serious? Well, for starters, this season he's like 16. When else is he going to chase after his tastes and orientation, if not at the peak of his teenage years? Because he used to be younger, which means he had a different priority of problems. Although, I think he finally accepted and understood his orientation only after season 3. And considering what happened to Will in the first two seasons, of course, the focus was on something else. He was suffering even then (it's just not that obvious and it remained behind the scenes), because his father called him a faggot before he and Joyce broke up, and they called him names at school.
In general, the Ulla arch is one of the most logical character development. It's been waiting for five seasons to mature and finally explode. Where to pull next? Of course, when it comes to coming out, you need to be straightforward, otherwise why all this?
And what the agenda has to do with it, I'll never understand. They've been discussing this topic for a long time, but some people have been locked into the word "agenda" and won't let them go. 😪

Maybe people are afraid of strong emotions, but I won't say that anymore. Because there is nothing pleasant about this process, and certainly not during the times that are shown in the series. Well, the fact that they all accepted him there — after all, they've been fighting supernatural evil for so many years, I don't think Will's admission that he doesn't like girls is the most shocking and unacceptable thing they've come across! And we don't know the real thoughts of everyone who heard it. It's clear that his mom, brother, and close friends are okay with that. It can't be otherwise, but others are an open question, but it's not so important anymore.

@tevladka: I don't think that in reality, a person would confess their innermost secret in a crowd (including unfamiliar ones). I would have understood if he had only said this to his mother and his closest friends, but besides them there were people with whom he had had little contact before.

And, again, as I wrote above, the conversation I had with Robin in episode 4 would have been enough. There was enough said and everyone understood everything. But no, you need to devote a lot of time from the general timekeeping (before the final battle) to things that do not have any significant impact on the plot (this is just a repetition of what we already understood / learned), despite the fact that the plot this season is very crumpled and with a lot of holes.

And as was correctly noted in the comments, they devote too much time to Will, too much. A good example is that Max and Audie were best friends, and a lot of time was devoted to this in previous seasons. Will and Max hadn't had much contact before. Max is coming out of his coma this season, and what do we see? Odie doesn't seem to care about Max, there's not a single scene where we're shown how happy she is to see her friend. For that, Will is very happy with Max, hugs her, talks to her, which has never happened before.

The focus is strongly shifted towards Will, towards not so significant things (which I consider to be Will's orientation in the context of the entire series and in particular the last season), which negatively affects the rest of the narrative.
This is the agenda.

@vadikos: well, if in reality the end of the world was on the threshold, who knows, maybe someone would come out on the main square) But in general, I agree that there were too many extra people. It was enough to do this scene with my mother, brother and Party members.
But as for the fact that there is a lot of Will — well, listen, he was very much in the background in season 3 and 4, but since this is the final one, they returned to the source, that is, to the emphasis on Will, because in my personal perception he is the main character of this series.

Well, it negatively affects the narrative for someone, not because it's a subpoena, but because these people are homophobes. Let's be honest.
It's certainly not Will's fault that they don't devote enough time to the same El or others. It's the fault that there are too many heroes and the creators of it were able to intelligently divide the screen time between them.

Will and the flashbacks, I'm just going crazy. and these fucking monologues of his, absolutely idiotic dialogues all season, even if you dismiss Will... and the series has good ratings for the season, I don't understand what's wrong with people, the quality bar has dropped completely, everyone probably liked Millie Bobby Brown's sour face

the whole season is some kind of running around Will, constant empty dialogues, he always walks around with some kind of almost sobbing face, and finally the climax. It's not that Will is gay, in fact, we've known this for a long time,
first of all, how the fire-out happens, it just happens awkwardly, cringingly, all this drama is unnecessary, the whole monologue of Will feels very fake.
secondly, I want to remind you that the year 87 in the series, if my memory serves me correctly, and the actions take place not in New York, but in a small city, there are hardly any people who can be called tolerant, especially since the state of Indiana is quite conservative and has always been so. It just looks silly.
can bet the bad guys from the government are homophobes, like Vecna himself, they all work the same way, they are kind and understanding, and these are not homophobes, the rest are bad, the world is black and white

I didn't like the season at first. There was a hope that the next 3 episodes would somehow "resolve" the delusion, but no. This episode only reinforced the opinion.

PS. If Vecna can read minds and get into his head, why didn't he immediately find out that Holly was planning an escape? at the time of the meeting with Max, she is alone in the house. All the attention and control is on her))

I am very glad that the wormhole theory has been confirmed! Still, knowing the Duffer brothers, there was a scene about her in a physics teacher's class for a reason! They just hinted at it, and those who wanted to saw it!

As a consumer of artistic works, I like it when some thing known to the audience for a long time turns out to be not what it seems - as they did from the Inside Out! That it's just a bridge, not a separate dimension!
However, our heroes have a lot of work to do. With each season, the volume is growing and growing, they really deserve to retire to save the world for the rest of their lives!

And anyway, I'm really glad that the physics teacher has FINALLY joined the group. Considering his knowledge, it's about time!

I would also like to note that I am happy for Max and Lucas — what is it if not true love, if he continued to hope for two years and was by your side in the hospital while you were in a coma? And her words: "I didn't need Kate Bush. I needed you" — 😭😭😭My blessings, my children! In ten years, you can safely have a wedding!

Now Holly: if I were in her place, even if I could get out in the end, I would have severe psychological trauma for the rest of my life if I woke up with this thing in my mouth. 🙈 She and Will can now organize a support club for Vexa victims! Because it's clearly a metaphor for child sexual abuse. Vecna is a pedophile in a sense, and the final scene with him - I don't know who sympathizes with him, but for me he is pure evil. And this is despite the fact that I really love Jamie Campbell Bower – creepy villain will be very cool to play him!

But at the same time, I want to applaud Holly for her courage and quick wit! Yes, she didn't manage to get out, but she was very close to it. Considering that she is 8-9 years old and she was there herself, it deserves respect! I would have curled up in a ball there and died in my own feces, shitting myself out of fear. Especially at such a young age!

When all the kids in the scene with Henry were repeating "Back to the light," I looked at it all with the same expression as Derek. Like, "where did I get to? Let me out of this mess!" But in general, they showed typical brainwashing, especially with children it is much easier. That's why Vecna chose them!

About 11th and 8th: if Al supports his sister's suicide plan, I don't know how my still existing Bayler hopes will be fulfilled. On the one hand, I want to believe that since Eighth's intentions were shown and that El allegedly agreed, it means that everyone will overplay at the crucial moment (El will change her mind or miraculously survive herself), although I believe that her chances of dying are the highest among all the main characters! The eighth is definitely the end, and maybe she's a well-deserved Cossack (anything is possible!), because she's been suspiciously quiet and inactive all these three episodes, not counting the scene with her rescue! Although her point of view is quite understandable, especially considering her life. Maybe it even makes sense. But suicide is always the last option when there is nothing else left.
And before that, you need to try all the other ways!

And about Millie's acting skills: I have to agree. It's kind of wooden this season. Especially against the background of the fact that I recently came across a video from her auditions for season 1 – the child had such a talent there, but now it seems to have blown away. But it is unclear who is to blame for this result: the creators or Millie herself?

Of course, the most powerful scene for me was Will's coming out. I was hoping that he would tell Mike, but in the end he decided to tell everyone at once, so to speak, to rip off the Band-Aid with one jerk, which in some ways is even better (?). Well, for the character, for sure!
I don't know why many people write that it was embarrassing, as if it was bad! Like, isn't that how it should be? Personally, I was so worried and even sweating, as if I was confessing to my family! And every ten seconds she pressed pause and breathed to calm herself. 😅
It's very difficult! And the fact that some people consider the "clash" to be such a key moment for a character raises questions about the development of their emotional intelligence.

However, as a fan of the Bilers, I must admit that I'm still kind of upset that we didn't get as many interactions between Will and Mike as I expected, but the emphasis on Mike when Will said the cherished "I don't like girls," and the little nuances in the form of looking down, give me faith. that when they defeat Vecna, we will have a separate scene with Mike and Will, where they will at least talk in private and Mike will ask who was the crash that Will mentioned (plus he will inform them that he and Al are no longer together (if Will is not already aware of this) – because from them The whole season is as much about friends as possible, not a couple in love. They clearly broke up in those 1.5 years between seasons 4 and 5!
Other than that, I refuse to be led on "he was my Tammy"! No, he wasn't! Mike, damn, there's no way it can be Tammy, if only because, by analogy with Robin, she suddenly fell in love with a girl she didn't really know, and Mike and Will have been friends since kindergarten! It's not just a sudden crush on a random person that you can easily step over.

That is, even if Mike and Will are not endgames, I'm ready to accept it (even if I cry first), but then at least let me hear a clear "no" from Mike, in the spirit of: "sorry dude, all the hints that I'm at least bisexual seemed to all of you"!

There is an unpleasant feeling that the ending will be from the category of "make sure that Henry was never born"
Then, in fact, Al and the rest of the miracle children will be born anyway, they just won't have their superpowers and they will be ordinary people, which in turn will make it possible for them to live a normal life, well, new ones. They won't be able to make miracle children either, because there won't be a main source of this power.
Persians who died because of monsters can also come back to life.
But at the same time, in fact, the entire cast of characters will lose themselves, because they will lose their memories of what they experienced and will live a different life, and I can't stand this, because as a viewer I am attached to these particular versions of the Persians, and the dummies who have lost all their memories are literally other personalities:(
And "Al" would die anyway, meaning that this particular part of her identity would be gone, leaving only Jane.
Well, apparently Mike's fears from season 4 that he is too ordinary for her (as well as El's opposite fears because of his strangeness) will lose their relevance, because they will be equal + somehow miraculously they will get to know each other anyway and will be together, which will serve as a refutation of Mike's words about that this is not fate, but just a combination of circumstances and not the fact that under other conditions she would have chosen him.
In short, there will be some kind of normal ending where no one will die (well, unless Al dies, but Jane will survive, lol) + everyone will lose their memories, live ordinary lives, and at most they will catch some kind of deja vu about the past, which did not exist.

And finally, did anyone else think that the final scene with Henry and the children at the table was a reference to the painting "The Last Supper"? At least there were like 13 candles (I was trying to count) and it's like there's an analogy of Henry (Jesus) and 12 apostles (children) around him! The Internet says that: "This is the last meal of Christ with the disciples before his crucifixion," so it's kind of foreshadowing his end. Plus the betrayal of one of the participants — I'm betting on Derek, of course! I don't count Holly, because she tried as hard as she could!!

I've been watching the OSD since the very beginning, in general, the first 2 seasons are much more interesting in terms of atmosphere than anything that happened after. The weakest is season 3 about the shopping mall and the Russians in the lab, the 4th is better and the new villain Vecna is also normal. The beginning of season 5 and up to episode 6 is generally good, a return to dark fantasy with mad scientists, the merging of worlds and bloody action. Episode 7 of season 5 is generally normal, but the snotty agenda and cumming out as a character reveal is a cringe, I would still understand the fear of death or loss of loved ones, but not what they showed. In general, the ending of the series spoiled the overall impression. I hope the finale is not completely merged.

Here's what I watched these three new episodes, what I didn't watch... New information can be combined into 3 sentences, and all actions can be combined into one series.

Some of the scenes that were supposed to be catchy are incredibly dumb. Like Holly and Max, who decided to stand there hard while Lucas almost died with that tape recorder.
That the cuming-out, which looks cringe-worthy, is too sudden, and the actions after that look like Mr. Tony and his "enyway" + why are all the characters there, why not do it as something more personal...

Anyway, everything looks strange.

Hopefully, this is the lull before the finale.

@DariaCoven: Yeah, I was so angry at the moment of Holly and Max's dialogue, it's a mess. Even before this dialogue, they were walking very slowly and solemnly, as if they were not pressed from behind by danger and as if Max was not afraid of the past experience when she did not have time to get out..

Their slowness would look appropriate for a situation where they are getting out of some more or less comfortable but wrong world into a complex reality and making a difficult decision. But Max had literally been surviving for the last few years, she was on the verge of death, and she hadn't seen anyone but Harry for a long time. It would be logical to run, almost falling, and grab for life, rather than dramatically slapping and chatting about life for a long time..

@Ferusu: Max can be understood - she already ran like that and didn't make it. Therefore, a certain amount of doubt prevents her from rushing as fast as she can. Holly doesn't rush either, because she doesn't trust Max completely because so much has been poured into her ears these days. Therefore, it is quite realistic. And the long dialogue is long against the background of a scene with demagorgons - so it's quite appropriate, because it helps Holly to accept the inner hero and maybe help her in the future.

@RedBlaz: Fear of angering the audience with the death of a favorite character. The main four + Before the final, the Duffers definitely didn't have the courage to thin out. To close the need for deaths, each season introduced one active additional participant who tragically died in the last episode. But secondary personalities also appeared, they don't really affect anything, but they are actually alive, so they must be included in the further plot and then shown. This creates situations in which a delegation of 40 people gathers in a room. After all, some of them are waiting for and loved by some of the audience.

A lot of scenes were cut by Netflix, as it turns out. The timing of each episode has been reduced by 20-30 minutes. Therefore, during Will's monologue, it is absolutely not clear what "future, where he was disowned" he is talking about, nothing was told about the cave and the man with the box, Henry's past and how he gained his powers are unclear, Max is not surprised at all by Hopper's appearance (she should not know that he survived and returnedIn previous episodes, Max was sure that Odie found out where she was, but at 7, Max and Will suddenly became close for some reason. They say a huge scene with Odie and Mike was cut. It's very sad. While I was watching, I thought I missed something, but no, they just cut out a lot.

But the screenshots are not reliable information, they are from insiders who have already leaked some scenes/details from previous episodes, so the fandom now believes it.

@colorer: It's not clear to the end: someone is talking in order to soften the age limit. But in general, Duffers and Netflix have some kind of conflict right now... The second volume of the season was edited right up to December, which means that the scenes were cut almost at the last moment. There are screenshots with missed moments on top. Oh, yes, it turns out that in the USA there was a whole separate theatrical production about Henry's past, where there are a lot of details important to the plot, but a huge part of the audience was left unaware of them. I only found out about it myself today.

How I scream.
The first part: the heroes pull off an entire inside-out operation through a military base, a plan, timings, etc. They get stuck there and don't know how to get out.
Episode 7: the characters simply tear off the slab above the fault, climb inside in a minute, find friends, and come back out in a minute.
The end of the seventh episode: the heroes are again required to enter through a military base, while slaughtering innocent soldiers, and BRAVELY arrange it by showing how STRONG NANCY (having previously boasted "do you even know how to shoot a pistol?") ruins a crowd of military men with one burst, who, of course, can't do anything do it.
Logic? Yes, the authors within one episode can no longer keep their own made-up rules.
Against this background, Will's exit from the closet is not even the most cringe-worthy in the episode.
That's bullshit, hospade.

The second volume is not perfect, but not to the point of hysteria that the "fans" have caused.

It's time to farm the cons

OSD has rolled into soy gum without any meaning. Tedium and propaganda. I watched the first part of the season, listened to what they say about the second and decided to skip it. And then, for the first part, out of boredom, he constantly got into the phone, which did not happen with previous seasons. Apart from the Netflix gay show-off (which has nothing to do with the series and where everyone is so accepting, of course, and no one has a different opinion), the narrative has also skipped a lot. The dialogues are dumb, and so is the behavior of the characters. It's clear from the faces of many actors that they've had enough of this for a long time. It's a pity to talk about Odie's face, she disfigured her appearance for no reason - the makeup artists did well here, somehow they corrected the situation, but they are not magicians either.

Unfortunately, there are too many soy sissies on maishous who sympathize with such blatant degradation. The series wasn't originally about all that. He lost his charm, his meaning, lost his spirit, lost the whole atmosphere. Moreover, due to the fact that it was stretched for as long as 10 years, its relevance has completely disappeared. The fashion for the 80s has long passed, which makes it feel like you've opened a package of delicious food with an expired shelf life and it's naturally spoiled and stinks.

Initially, long before the release, I was sure that the finale would be a total drain. I'm still sure of it. And I'm even more than sure that after the 31st, most of those who are screaming here with joy (I don't understand what they're happy about) will realize that some kind of bullshit has turned out and will agree with me. Hollywood series of this level rarely end well. Maybe that's why they last forever -the creators lose touch with reality and don't know how to complete the pile they've created. As for the OSD, I think the Duffers tried to please everyone, but, as is usually the case, they won't please anyone in the end...

@tevladka: absolutely, I'm currently reviewing the first season, and from the very first episode, Will is shown as a special sensitive child who is called a faggot at school, and his own father is trying to "re-educate" him, feeling that he is somehow different, forcibly leads to sports and clearly feels dislike. And in general, absolutely throughout the narrative, there were repeated omissions in each season, for example, Mike literally says, "well, it's not my fault that you don't like girls," when guys are busy messing with ladies and don't want to play DND. Then that scene in the van, where Will is crying, and Jonathan, who understands everything and offers support, was so on the surface from the very beginning. Surprisingly, many people only learned something about the character at the moment of the cumingout :D

@Earth_02: forgive me, of course, but at the age of 11, not all boys really still think about girls, but just about how to play more, how fun it is to be "in the brotherhood."
and children always call themselves anything else, they just emphasized that in the 80s it was still shameful, but now they say in schools that this is normal and even cool.
the fact that Will cried when he was "rejected" from the company is more crying for childhood, for cozy company, unity, and not for Mike. People are already stupid and see things that AREN't there.
It's just such a strain... a person at such a young age does not have sex and love topics on his mind, but dreams, an idealized perception of the world, and at the same time simpler and more unsophisticated, unsullied by "agendas" and ideas of the world. a person can really have sensitivity, vulnerability (especially after the horrors that he has experienced, in fact, alone in another world). and this is all attributed to his orientation. Yeah...
is it possible that some of the audience is so stupid...

but yes, the creators then, seeing these reactions of the fandom + movements in the lives of real actors + the "plan" from the studio, naturally twisted the homo theme to the fullest to the delight of this part of the fandom.
but this is not about that, but once again about the fact that everything for children can be much simpler, and they write off the same topic...

And I liked how they inserted Will's line of recognition into current events. Will considered himself vulnerable because of this, it can be understood, because he really is a white crow, but at the same time the only one who possesses such power capable of capturing Vecna's mind. He was right to tell everyone about who he was, and it seemed to him that this weakness would give him a much greater boost in showing his abilities.

And yes, commentators here rarely have anything to do with the rating at all. I read comments and opinions on various resources, including IMDb and rotten tomatoes, and even there many write that they were not satisfied with the cuming out scene, while others write that they were not satisfied with the absence of the couple they wanted. Even there, few people talk about the plot from the inside out, etc.
I'm already silent about such resources as Twitter, Reddit and others, where people don't choose expressions and other things at all.
Therefore, yes. If we're talking about objectivity, then people merge a specific episode, and the season as a whole, to show their outrage at certain scenes, and not because the series and the series are really terrible.

I love Will with all my heart, since the first episode of the first season, I was happy with the character development, the way he is written, how his branch is developing. Since season 4, everything has been clear about his orientation, I've never been homophobic, I adore gays and all that, but damn it, this cuming out is just a circus. And that's what hurts me the most! That my kid, who has been trying to accept and understand himself for so long, has just opened up to a huge company full of strangers! It shouldn't have happened like this!

I wish Hopper had shot Kali by now. How it freezes me out… Audie will definitely die because of her. After listening to these nonsense, she won't want to come back from the bridge. and there will be a heartbreaking scene with Hopper. The only one who can stop them is Will, who volunteered to be there with them.
Kali and Audie have completely different life experiences, Kali has never had an environment where she was accepted, understood, supported, and loved. that's why she has such a pessimistic view of it all. The buddies she had were bandits and murderers who used each other. and Kali also wanted to use Odie in the second season, but it didn't work out because Odie has something to fight for and whom, but this one doesn't. Well, if you want to die yourself, well, let's go, don't come back, why do you want to drag One out with you? Anyway, they dug her up to kill her in the finale.

I don't know how everything will be handled for the rest of the episode. As long as they don't crumple it up, as they often do. :/

I don't even like the season at all, I just want to finish watching the series and close this door. In my opinion, the series has lost its lamp-like atmosphere of the first seasons.
They just crammed in a ton of characters who do nothing but fuck around. There are so many pretentious scenes, so much epic tension, and even the Avengers will envy the way they brainstorm... It's trite to not empathize with anyone anymore. There is a piano in the bushes for every action of the characters.
What happened to Mike, why did he go from being the leader of the gang to being the backdrop? Where is its development. What's with El? Why did her character become wooden? She wasn't even given a meeting scene with Max, her best friend, for a moment. Will's coming out was a matter of time, but why did it turn out so stupidly and clumsily. As many have already written, it would have been much more touching if only Mom had been there, and maybe Mike. Fuck the crowd there, half of which doesn't care about Wil's orientation at all. Acting is generally something with something... Both children and adults. It is either hypertrophied or wooden. And in general, the characters' images turned out to be too caricatured. By the way, I just realized from my coma that Nancy and Jonathan broke up lol.
On the plus side, some of the scenes were well shot, and I like the characters of Steve, Henry, and Holly.

Let them hold me back, but the moment with Will's coming out is just some kind of wildly awkward and strained scene, it feels like even the actors consider themselves superfluous there. Non-traditional orientation in America in the 80s was no longer something bad and unusual, many singers had already come out at that time (Elton John, Freddie Mercury) and they were not persecuted for it. Yes, the situation was still tense and acute, but it was no longer a witch hunt. That's why I don't understand why we should make such a scene out of it, most of the characters are not affected at all, and they probably didn't care. It was the most strained line of self-acceptance I've ever seen, I understand that it's forbidden in Russia and many are thrilled, but in America it's okay and you have to build on their realities, so there's no wow effect.

Well, to be honest, the plot armor of the main characters is already beginning to strain, the scriptwriters do not dare to kill at least one of the huge pile of characters that have accumulated enough for 4 seasons, and over and over again they kill characters that do not affect anything (I suspect that it will be Mr. Clark and the Eighth).

I expect little from the finale, I doubt that in two hours we will be able to cram everything in and most likely it will turn out very crumpled. But I really liked the idea of the wormhole.

@Futurikon: You're talking about some kind of parallel 80s if you think that being gay back then was a no-brainer. Is it okay that the AIDS epidemic began in America in the early 80s, which primarily affected homosexual people and they were all shunned like death? It was in the middle that it all turned into a pandemic and by the 90s had a lot of social consequences. And, of course, you compared Elton John and a teenager from the backwoods. It's the same thing. 🙃
If I were Will, I would have almost fainted there too, while I was making this confession in front of my family and loved ones. And of course it will be awkward, it is unlikely that this process could have been pleasant and easy at that time!

Finally, they explained the essence of the Inside Out, told us about the Abyss, that was really interesting!
And so it seems like I looked at three episodes, but the plot was in place, and it's worth it) Yes, it's cool, there were a lot of interesting things, a lot of touching dialogues, cool moments, but the closer the finale gets, the more you want the plot to develop, that's how it works) I hope it's a 10/10 grand finale, then I'll take it back and say that the Duffers are geniuses. There are just fears that the finale may be merged, as in many excellent TV series before that) I'm really looking forward to the finale of this wonderful legendary series and to say right after the credits, "WOW, that was oh***!

@Ya_i_tvoy_kot: Yes, the first two seasons were mysterious, and I was also attracted by the closeness of the plot. Now it's all about universal pathos, slowness, and a bunch of extra characters. And the creators are desperately trying to patch up the plot holes, producing even more inconsistencies. And for some reason, they introduce new characters and devote time to fourth-rate heroes, when the old ones have nowhere to go and they have long lacked screen time and their role in the plot.

Why did they ruin Will's confession scene so badly? It would have been much more touching if he had told his mom and Mike, the closest people. It would be a small chamber scene, and it would be much deeper than this pretentious speech in front of everyone. There was a feeling that he was about to reveal the secret of the universe, they had caught up with so much pathos.

I'm so infuriated by the adults in the plot. I liked that initially the series had the spirit of children's and teenage adventures. And the adults are in the background. And now Joyce is running around with Will like a chicken with an egg, and so is Hopper with Odie. Mike's mom also showed up. And this crazy guy still won't die. Yes, yes, I know, it's plot-based and blah blah. But they spoil the whole atmosphere, which is why I fell in love with this series. He made me nostalgic for my childhood and my adventures with friends. But watching this season, I just want to say - Well, maaam, can I go for a walk alone?

@id190670074: I do not agree that Murray is superfluous, because he dilutes the drama of everything that is happening a little, he has already been revealed enough and he is only as a comedic element that does not take up much screen time, so I do not understand why he is superfluous in the season as a whole. I agree I didn't need it in the confession scene, but it's definitely not superfluous in the plot of season 5.

Well, as for childhood, I probably never looked at the series by analogy with myself and some childhood adventures, perhaps we just had a very different childhood.

Why is this scene there, it's not a topic at all, especially at the moment of APPROACHING APACALYPSIS.

Everywhere, everywhere... They're pushing this agenda, it's kind of crazy.

As much as I resent the very fact of the presence of lesbians and gays in Netflix series, I resent when they emphasize it. So that ALL THE VIEWERS AND CHARACTERS can see that he/she is NON-TRADITIONAL. What for??? If gays and lesbians were everywhere in the words of LGBT supporters, then why put such an emphasis on it, it could be shown more naturally. But this scene will be put there for show.

And let me remind you, Will was originally the main character, whom Dad called a "faggot" when he was a kid. It was originally part of the plot. If some people can't open their eyes and understand the plot, then again it's you who's responsible, not the alleged agenda

I wanted to write a meaningful comment three days after watching it, but I see a whole war has started here. I can only say that I understand both those who have emotional moments and those who are unhappy with the second part of the season. In fact, during these three episodes, we saw a repeat of what we saw in the first half of the season, which nevertheless set the bar high for expectations from further events. But the abundance of plot threads (which hardly progressed in the last three episodes) and emotional moments required timing, which was in season 4, because in the final it is so much more important. Arguments about what was cut out don't do much, but now it's scary for the finale, since it only takes two hours to sort it all out. In short, I'm kind of stuck between a world where the ending will be normal, and a world where everything will merge godlessly ahahaha

that Will's BIG SECRET was presented as if it were a huge cliffhanger and the fate of the world depended on it.
that the timing is stretched to infinity and it's just boring to watch.

@gerusez: absolutely so, the problem is not the recognition itself, but how it was arranged (in no way). Also with a crowd of people who are leftist to him. Okay, this was a pressure and gave an advantage to the Outside, but in the end, cuming-out significantly downplayed Will's entire friendship this season.

The question of the 4 years between the appearance of the wormhole and the moment of the beginning of the merger of the worlds is also still relevant. Why did Vecna wait so long? Why couldn't the merger have started back in season 2-3, why were these attempts by the Desiccator to create some kind of meat mold in Hawkins? Why didn't Vecna just find 4 people and open the portal right away, instead of spending 20+ people creating this meaty something? There is a strong feeling that after season 3, for some reason, the scriptwriters abruptly shifted the focus from the Desiccant to the Age and forgot about my favorite dark stuff (

The return of Max, Dustin and Steve, my buns and my beloved child Will, whom I yelled at the screen "Noooo! Nooooo!" If only he didn't get laid with Mike. That's basically all the main advantages of the series. Otherwise... It's so slow...... Will's confession is OK, even though the scene itself.... I don't know, the script is lame. The end of the world is coming here, let's sit down, let's go with the whole crowd. I love Will, I adore him, I can't hug this little bear anymore when he cries. But the scene itself sags dramatically.
And yes, the whole series is blah blah blah blah. Maybe it's important, blah blah blah, but that much is all the same. What the hell was Kali doing? Why couldn't Eleven figure out on her own that she had to kill this freak and sacrifice herself for peace? It would be such a powerful character leap! She opened the gate, and so on.. To make her feel guilty and want to save everyone. And then Mike would be like, Noooo, Audie! Ai love yu, stay wiz mi! And other romantic cotton candy, and now he runs to her, saves her, and everyone is happy. But no, for some reason, this Kali spoils everything for us. And yes, why doesn't she use her powers at all? Why the fuck are they messing up all these plans, infiltrating the base, etc., if Kali can hypnotize everyone there?
I laughed when Mike told my mom to stay in the hospital. I saw it as: "Mom, we already have 150 characters here, you'd better stay in the hospital."
How Holly punched her friend! Pretty woman! Hypnotized children are a scary scribe. I remember the movie with alien children "Village of the Damned" brrrr.
In general, the series is a stretch for three. I'll consider this the calm before the storm.

How could you film such a breakup between Jonathon and Nancy without his people even realizing? I only realized this when I got here to read the comments, I'm in shock.,

Mike and Odie don't smell like love here at all, for me they both broke up a long time ago and now they're just friends, it's not even that they don't get screen time, but in general that the chemistry between the actors is zero, they don't fit each other outwardly and there are no feelings between them, generally in general There's a problem with feelings, I don't feel the love between the characters, the care, the support, yes, but not the love that can be between a guy and a girl

About Will, after all, everyone bothered him, well, they told everyone that he was gay and what, it fits into the plot, he should stop being afraid, how would he say and tell you why this is so triggering

God, how the show went downhill... the conflicts between the characters sucked out of my fingers. They made everyone dumber. Eleven aka Gigachades became incredibly annoying (it's not enough to pump yourself up with filers, it's even worse to play than it was necessary to be able to). Max still continues to blunt his life. Why gay character lines?! They don't belong here at all. But it feels like it's already the main plot. It's a pity that the series wasn't completed for last season, it had a good ending. Unfortunately, nettleflex needs money. I think the last episode will be like in Game of Thrones, a complete melding of characters and plot, and it started so well..

How many people in the comments jerk off to the Bayer. And those who speak out against this pair are immediately harshly rejected. I don't really care about same-sex relationships, but don't try to turn a straight man into a gay man, looking for some hints that just DON't EXIST. Will is my sweetheart, I love him, and I don't give a fuck what kind of orientation he is, but Spike is with Mike.… Do you seriously believe that they are endgame?
It's funny that Will's coming out plays an important role in the plot, he got rid of his fear and is now invulnerable to the Abyss, but it's not necessary to bring him together with someone at the end, because Will develops as a character, and he doesn't need a romantic relationship for this, he gets to know himself.

And my God, there have been so many arguments about his coming out, everyone expresses their point of view (I really agree with many), but how much negativity is there from LGBT supporters because of this… You guys are so full of shit.😕

Why is it so bad? The creators have literally all the money and opportunities in the world, and they are shooting a commercial tunnel. The series has lost its magic and charm. Either they waited too long for season 5, or it came out too early and raw. The kids have grown up, half of them have already been botoxed, and there is NO chemistry AT ALL between the characters. Even between children and parents there is no special connection. I watch the series, and no one causes me any emotions at all, you no longer believe in this friendship or this love. I understand that even in the plot they have all grown up, but we have excellent examples of stories of growing up and fighting evil, and there is this.

God, how many empty, forced dialogues, how much water, I haven't watched this in a long time. They just spend the whole second part figuring things out, when there's nothing to figure out, to be honest. And how I got ALL the characters' story armor, everything looks even more improbable with it.

I look at it and every episode I think that the best GP and IP in this world will not remove anything in terms of intensity and immersion in another world.

It feels like the scriptwriters took the tropes of the connected hero and antihero, the style of the 80s, the current agenda and ran it all through the GPT chat and he gave them the script.

One picture and the music pleases, the rest is all over after the 4th episode. And the first four episodes already looked somehow foreign. But there was a lot of talk…

I would like to discuss the elephant in the room. These sincere conversations between Will and Robin created more chemistry than the potential "Temmi" and the nurse) again, the agenda was sewn with pure white threads. Robin runs anywhere all season, but not with her nurse (I don't even remember her name). And it turns out that Will wasn't like that all the way) the last stumbling block that revealed Will's true power, but damn, he's already done a lot. He repeated the demagorgons, saved Max, and his mother saw that he was no longer a child. That's it! The character has already reached a new stage, he is already ready for the final battle. The scene itself is cool. Everyone finally gathered in one place, came up with a plan, hugged each other for a possible farewell, because the enemy is strong and treacherous. But what a reason that was sucked out of nothing😐

I'm shocked at how sociopathic Nancy is. It seems like a very young girl, coolly shooting soldiers like in a shooting gallery. This moment blurs the impression very much, which makes confessing to a non-traditional orientation the worst nightmare, but killing a person is something easy that does not cause moral hardships.

Will's congress is something that should have been touching, but it turned out to be funny. But at least some kind of scene showing that they have some kind of past together and that they are friends. The main problem with this episode (and there are many of them, as in the whole season) is its confusion, plus it doesn't feel at all like the penultimate episode before the epic finale. And somehow I doubt very much that they will kill someone significant, although I would like to.

I don't understand why I should devote so much screen time to a scene in which Will confesses his orientation. Some kind of late-noughties cringe, when all the characters around exclaimed in surprise when they found out that their friend/girlfriend wasn't like that. I always didn't care if gays/lesbians were shown in TV series, it's important to make interesting and prescribed arcs for them so that it would be interesting to watch them and their development. And when you just add LGBT people in order to receive funding from black rock, it always looks fake and pathetic.

What a wonderful scene it was with Will when he accepted himself and was able to control the demogorgons. Everyone understood everything and even laughed. And how the Duffers messed up this whole scene: we've got the last Avengers-level battle coming up here, wait a minute. - Guys, I don't know how this will help you in battle, but I love boys...

Complete lack of respect for the audience . The 3e did not get out of the inside through the main gate as there was no clash with the military. Guys, we have a problem, they need to show up on this side, but how do we do that? Finally, we 'll stupidly show them here so brazenly and say because it 's a long story . Then pull out the 11th well, why. They dragged an Indian woman who was pulled out of the bushes like a piano last time, but this time it's the same so that she dies, but I don't mind killing someone for this drama. The redhead who had her eyes gouged out had them regrown. Curly-haired Rimbaud kills people on the right and on the left from the hip, and she doesn't give a damn about it at all, and there's no punishment for it. We're putting together a gay conference where gayness was added to the character purely because it's fashionable to hit the ace right now. After this scene, we're very wittily coming up with a plan to pierce him with a spike. Look at Uma Thurman's daughter, who looks like she's sitting on salt all wrinkled and worn out of a cheap bardel, here's a gay girl she doesn't care about with a face like the treatment of a red-haired grandmother at the entrance.All the women were killed, the men were generally stupid and worthless. Prescribe a script, characters, and give them motivation? What for? And so they grab it, we'll give you a look in the form of the most boring interactions of characters from the category of a disabled person who should have been hissing for a long time , having a fixed jaw, will express affection for Dmitry Malekov and miss Sasha from the university who committed an idiotic act of suicide. And so it's all grabbed by young dumb idiots who will tear up a hot water bottle like an ace for fashionable gay sex with a black femtem. The mind is the same when some high - class guy can 't live , so that he can tell everyone how he 's hitting a point .

Well, you know these gays with their gay affairs and gay clubs, even here they were too lazy to give out something more than a stereotype.

A week after watching the episode and after all the explanations of Will's coming out to so many people that I had read and seen, I accepted and even understood this scene. I'll give you my favorite explanation- the Hawkins outcast gathered in that room. Yes, they are not all super-close, but they are homogeneous in their essence - all are similar in that they differ sharply from others. And admitting to them doesn't mean admitting everything to Hawkins. It means admitting to those who can really understand and accept you from all other people. It's a strong scene, anyway.

The worst season ever. What infuriates me the most is the typicality of the series. A typical ST5 episode: a problem occurs -> some character throws in a brilliant idea to solve it -> this idea is being chewed up as if I'm 2 years old and I don't understand the references -> there is a character who says that this is a problem because of him -> the character starts crying -> everything is said to him, almost literally everything that it's not his fault, but the character starts saying it's his fault anyway -> general meeting to solve the problem -> action. Absolutely every episode is such a drag. I'm only looking at the x2 speed.

And we also have a summons. Yes, it's really important for me to know that gg is not like everyone else, because it really changes the plot (it doesn't fucking affect anything).

Vibe is fucked up. Previously, each season was visually different somehow. There was a certain feeling about him, and I really like season 2 and 3. But who the fuck knows, it's just that something's going on inside

There's only the last episode left, but it feels like it's just as much bullshit as everything else this season.

It's not even about the cumingout, everyone knew that about Will perfectly well, but how it was presented and at what moment.

The episode's rating speaks for itself!

That is, 11 sent Henry to X at one time, then contacted demogorgon in X, creating a bridge and a portal. And she did all this from Earth, from the ordinary world. And in season 5, for some reason, she can't get in touch with X, she can't reach out. How is it?

I am loyal to the gay community and so on. but maybe I've always watched the series in the background. For 5 seasons, I haven't seen a single hint of Will's homosexuality, that he somehow looked at someone the wrong way, and suffered because of his secret. and then, a series before the end, the scriptwriters just decided - and here he is. Take it. Well, in principle, in part 5, John WICK can also confess. Anyone can just become "different from everyone else." Why not.

It feels like Netflix is like that, there's only one episode left, come on. They're already checking it out. yes, if he had been gay (hidden) since the first season. Well, there would be no questions. and if anyone really doesn't like it, they'd skip the first season. and the rating of the series (excellent in my opinion) did not just drop by 0.5 points. because you can't do that to the audience.

@Choly_Cavel: You just weren't paying attention. In one of the first seasons, Mike, during an argument with Will, said, "it's not my fault that you don't like girls." At that moment, he probably meant that Will just hadn't grown up yet and was still more interested in basement games, but the creators probably already brought up this topic.

Then in season 4, when Mike and Will were driving in a van (and Jonathan was driving) They had a conversation where Will talked about Eleven and how he and she were different (or something like that), where it was clear that he wasn't just referring to his abilities. After the conversation, Will turned away from Mike and started crying. Jonathan silently eavesdropped on all this and already then understood what his younger brother was talking about.
Then Jonathan, alone with Will, hinted that he could trust him and tell him everything.

It was brought to this for a long time and unobtrusively, since many did not even understand it.
Or was it necessary to make a scene where Will, as Helga, clutches Arnold's photo to her chest and sighs heavily?)

But nevertheless, the scene with the confession at the end of the episode caused more cringe. The apocalypse is coming, and you're here with your news that you like men's pussies more.

@T1990: Thank you. I admit, I often listen to TV shows more than I watch, and I don't always have time to just sit on the couch. and the 5 seasons were stretched over 10 years. I'm definitely not one of those who will constantly sanctify the memory, even with a short retelling.

Demogorgons don't touch a lesbian couple because "they didn't come for us," but they calmly kill other people in the hospital.

The white muck froze a few centimeters away from Nancy and Jonathan (what luck), and although they were completely soaked in it, for some reason both were not covered with a nice crust.

The demogorgons almost discover lesbukh, nigger and Max (and if they combed the whole room pretty quickly, then they suddenly slowed down 50 times over the characters), but at the very last moment they are distracted by a cylinder in the washing machine, which somehow destroys all three monsters.

Any weapon in the hands of the military does not work against demogorgons, any crap in the hands of the characters destroys them in batches.

At the moment of the cuming out, Willa laughed, it was very carbon monoxide.

Nancy is successfully firing a machine gun against a couple dozen fucking military men, who all apparently have -15 in both eyes, since none could hit her. Come on, Nancy, they didn't even shoot at the tires. (Although, considering that after a bunch of hits to the hood of the truck, the engine didn't fucking explode, it still wouldn't have helped. The car is covered with <storyline> mithril armor). And when the door opened at the back of the truck for Hopper to climb in, the whole company probably had to reload sharply, since they stopped shooting.

Yes, definitely the best TV series of our time.

Will's confession was expected, of course it would be a pity if Audie died. Of course I understand everything, but her sister is useless, she was introduced purely to say that they should die and that's it? Well, it's kind of weak, half the season is hanging out of place at all

This series is full of snot and talk. Confessions that are unnecessary to anyone and do not change anything. What kind of character is this Sister Audie? What is she doing at all? He just brings confusion into Odie's head so that she ends her life. Max, who says she doesn't feel anything and hugs her right away (then they really got better), and the fact that she only sees the light, it was obvious from her that she sees everything normally. In general, if you analyze every moment, then there are shoals in every scene. And how much advertising, how many expectations, and so sorry to shit myself ... It's very interesting, of course, what will happen in episode 8…

I don't want to devalue anyone's feelings, but when the world is falling apart, Will's speech sounds a bit comical to me. Man doesn't like girls, well, awesome now. Such an escalation, as if right now he is at least admitting to pdf or that he is drowning kittens for fun.
My sneakers are going to fly. It's probably sometimes difficult for LGBT people to admit this, but since I'm completely calm about it, it's a little difficult for me to feel this moment.

Well, okay, I'm glad that Dustin and Steve have finally reconciled. But the season as a whole is not encouraging at all, I don't even want to paint everything, it's just damn weak. I hope at least the last episode somehow rehabilitates.

P.S. Maya Hawke has become painfully thin :(

@ashviki: I agree with you. Plus, it was his weak spot, and in order for Vecna not to use it against him, he needed to take the weight off his shoulders. But the scene still didn't impress, it was crumpled and seemed out of place at that moment, for me personally. 🤷🏼♀️

@T1990: so the fact of the matter is that his confession is completely out of place in these circumstances and looks very shabby from the outside. It's like I'm watching some movie from the early noughties, when it was treated with irony or surprise. By God, it would be better if he kissed Mike passionately than to watch this farce again.

Good people quickly redid this scene in the neural network)

So tell me, why, sir, why did they insert the cuming-out scene? Everything was fine! And in the end, the hero's argument is "powerful", like you all almost got a Shit.c. because I was afraid to admit that I was a faggot.s. I understand the agenda, but this scene fiercely spoiled the atmosphere. At least I should have put the summons in somewhere, right?

@MyEscape: how inattentively did you watch this episode and specifically the moment with cumingout, if you don't understand? Will explained quite clearly that Vecna puts pressure on fears, and Will has a fear of being rejected by loved ones. Therefore, before the battle, he told everything so that Vecna would not have pressure on him. I don't know how else to chew it.

@Lesha13: On the contrary, you need to do this right away so that those who like it can watch it, but here, like a booth with Georgians, Netflix has lured you into a trap.I gathered everyone in a booth and turned on the gas. I wonder how it will end ? What's interesting, right? Here's some clay-making for you. At the same time, this is a natural Hack. I wouldn't be surprised if the Duffers are actually homophobic and banter like that, and this gay man lived happily ever after in his stinking gay club in his stinking gay reservation.

I saw the low rating of the series and a lot of comments, and I thought, "well, kapets, someone was probably killed ridiculously for the sake of drama," but it turns out that Will's 5-minute confession made people (not all of them, of course) put one or maybe two stars. It's funny)
As for the series, I personally liked it, and alas... this is the penultimate one. It would be a pity if someone died, but it seems to me that the authors will obviously sacrifice someone for the sake of a dramatic story. Odie's sister doesn't inspire confidence, the girl is completely desperate and, apparently, is trying to convince Eleven to do something stupid.
Well, these are not children anymore, everyone has a strong side, and Forever they will get their business in the face, the good will win, and that's it. But at least the ending was epic with minimal losses and a happy ending, they are all (our heroes) they deserved it without exception.

Confessed, well done. Well, why is it taking so long? It's like there's a world coming soon. And seriously, I think it wasn't the recognition itself that blew up the community, but how long it lasted. In my opinion, from previous seasons, everyone has already understood that Will's orientation is there.
