The actress who plays Renee played Thelma in the movie "Thelma and Louise" and the car crash scene repeats a similar iconic scene from this movie)

In general, I figured out the plot literally from the first episode. I expected something more from the Dafners) The only hope is that they will surprise you with something in the confrontation) It's still interesting to watch because of the military retirees)

@Paramelion: so they are not the scriptwriters here or the showrunners, but only the executive producers. Sometimes this means that they literally do nothing in the project, except for some general "strokes" that give them the right to put their last name in the credits and make an advertising campaign on it.

@AlexWed: That's not exactly how it works. There is such an important concept as reputation. And if you allow yourself to build an advertising company around yourself, and the project is mediocre, then it will be worse for you in the future. Almost no one will subscribe to this.

Therefore, no matter how much effort they put into this project, the viewer will now associate it with them. And I don't care if they just got paid for the name in the credits.

@Paramelion: and do you expect something specifically from the Duffers, after all their statements on the final of the SD, not counting the final itself?) You should be happy if they did not participate in the creation of the series, the chances of a high-quality ending increase significantly.

The characters sat down and TALKED to each other.

Also From Outside the 4 seasons: 🙊🤷♂️

@rocketolov: ahaha) I was really blown away by the fact that they just openly took and shared all the information, and each of the participants in this "circle" had their own pieces of the puzzle.
Although it's damn adequate for normal people. It's just that TV shows like this from the Outside are dragging their feet with "disclosure" to the last, so each character walks around and chews his personal snot without showing it to anyone) If they had just sat down together from the Outside and collected all the data they had managed to get during this time, they might have gotten out of this place a long time ago.

It was so disgusting when Gendir Blaine Shaw put his wife Annalisa in the bathtub, and then he himself poured this incomprehensible liquid into it.

A roll call of those who realized who Mike Ellis's story is really about 😅 (if there are also those who know that this is not the end for this "old man", let us know all the more 🌚)

Now I'm wondering how Shaw "came" to this liquid and who is his wife? Clearly not a human being

This "honey" reminds me of something 🤔

It feels like the peach is here for a reason... I hope it will be explained this season, and not in the final one)))

I was worried about Rene! I was afraid that she would be killed, just like Jack in the beginning)) But now I'm calm) In general, the team is fighting well. It's just a pity Judy didn't shoot the owner of the town.

It is important to be an empath, it was a pity even for this wounded monster 🥺

It looks like the liquid that the guard was drinking is monster semen...

It's funny that they all "gathered" so spontaneously in the desert) The trio walked far through the catacombs, it turns out.

By the way, I also wonder why Blaine had the same interference effect in his dreams as Sam does when he sees his wife.
How does a wife relate to all this? Or because this creature managed to suck his spinal fluid, did something really happen to his head or did his connection with something beyond the grave become thinner?
