Stranger Things Season 4

[BrianL]

I loved the Hopper in Russia storyline but I don't think they needed to have him and the group there impacting the Hawkins fight from Russia at the same time. It was weird and forced. They should have just had him escape and destroy the gate in Russia and go home

Yeah, I would have liked to see that reunion sooner. They have this tendency to keep everyone in these seperate pods for the entire season - I've never loved that but at this point it is kind of the show's signature move.

Loved Eddie...he's another GOT alumni

Obi Wan had another GOT alumni, Indira Varma. Who, go figure, had many scenes with Pedro Pascal in GOT.

And more casting trivia, Stranger Things 4 features the second time that David Harbour plays a character who escapes a Russian prison.

I KNEW I recognized her but could not for the life of me recall where...it all makes sense now lol

Also, David Harbour is no longer "dad bod" or "Fat Rambo" - dude got cut! I guess that Russian prison life/hanging around the Marvel superheroes will do that!

Okay, y’all can discuss plot points and character development but I’m going to talk about the important things. 1) Hopper was looking hawt in those last couple episodes. Eight months in a Russian prison has served him well. 2) I don’t know who is writing the subtitles but someone needs to take their thesaurus away. Fifty-two ways to describe synth music, eldritch thrumming, ichorous tentacles constricting, and squelching. So much squelching.

Haha! I actually saw this in one other scene, "Tentacles squelching". I googled and apparently there's plenty of wet squelching going on.

I watch tv with subtitles due to hearing difficulties and it was actually distracting from the show. Everything was wet or squelching with a few moments of “pause it for a sec, I need to look up something in the dictionary.” Biting wetly. Tentacles undulating moistly. Like, how does something undulate moistly?

Totally missed fat Hopper. I hope he returns. I actually found him sexier.

Yes, that's what they said was the reason. But given the cliffhanger type situation in Hawkins in the final minutes, coming back in say 1989 is not my preference. It's not like in previous seasons where you could presume that people were doing normal people things and supernatural stuff wasn't going on.

I came close to yelling at the tv no, no, no.

I so wanted the next season to start with peaceful, normal.life (well as much as possible given the trauma & circumstances) - just living & go from there. I love the normal.life scenes in Stranger Things, they are often so hysterically wonderful.

He had actually lost so much weight that he had to wear prosthetics to bulk up his face for flashback scenes.

The one thing that I find really weird about ST since season 1 is Will. I think they have been struggling to find a way to keep Will incorporated since season 1. Even in Season 2 with the Mind Flayer storyline, it seemed forced in ways. I think it would have been better to kill him off or to just make him a more substantial part of the team and less of a tortured soul, so to speak. Maybe it will all make sense in the final season as the Flayer is obviously the big bad, so maybe Will's storyline will be integral and wrap things up for his arch as well as the series. Will in seasons 3 & 4 is just Meh

Spoiler

I am hoping they just turn Will evil. I think it would be a wonderful thing for the actor. He is so talented. He could have a lot of fun as Vecna's minion.

Also, I still haven't forgiven those Duffer boys for killing off Bob...but Eddie?? Not cool.

 

[Disneylover99]

Loved Season 4!!! Generally I've loved all of it but I do agree there was A LOT going on at the end. Feel like I need to watch it again - so much happening I've probably missed loads.

So true! I am watching it again, and I often say, I don’t remember this.

I just watched the first episode of season 4 and whilst I am impressed, I'm also kinda disturbed... it's pretty disturbing!

It gave me nightmares. I pushed through, but I didn't not sleep well after Part 1.

There is absolutely no doubt that this was on purpose - excellent production design! Also, I hadn't noticed it, but it's a nice touch.
