So yeah, that was without a doubt the worst season of the show. Been rewatching 1-3 and it's astonishing how much better they were.

That scene with Jonathan, Nancy, Robin, and Steve on top of the radio station cemented that Steve and Robin should have ended up together. Really pisses me off how bad the writing is for this show that they couldn't see that the two of them were meant to be together.

Dude, I'm embarrassed how long it took me to figure out what was going on. I thought she was pulling the charging handle!

I kept rewatching it like, clearly there is something wrong or it wouldn't have been called out. Then on the fifth or sixth attempt I saw her hand wasn't actually back far enough and that she was racking the carrying handle. Love it!

I thought the season was fine, but maybe that's because my expectations dramatically dropped a long time ago and stopped taking the show seriously. It was basically mindless entertainment for me since like season 3.

I'm juuuust missing this one. Is it a reference to Will becoming (or being the victim of) some sort of serial killer or something?

Let's just say Milwaukee isn't a great place to be for young gay men in 1989, but for some reason that's exactly where the Duffers sent him

In the old days when this would have been a blank firing prop she probably would have had to work it correctly to get the new magazine to load and fire and this would have been a major scene for her since it involved live weapons and blanks with an armorer on hand to coach her.

Today I'm sure she was handed a totally inert prop, there was no armsmaster present, and she was left with her own devices on what to do. Since the weapon probably had no moving parts other than maybe a trigger and magazine catch, doesn't surprise me she couldn't really work out how it was supposed to operate. My son's nerf guns require more skill

So they dont explain the Mond Flayer piece. I forgot S4 but does Vecna seek it out when his backstory is revealed? Does the vine like appendages and stuff come from the Mind Flayer or they're telekinetically attached by his own (weird) choosing?

Just feels like there should be more to the Mind Flayer control/relationship.

From what I hear the mind flayer piece was from the Philadelphia Experiment and the guy in the cave was a Russian spy. This was all from the stage show apparently. The actual show doesn't explain it at all.
