June 3, 20223 yr More love for Robyn please, feels like she’s been in it from episode one and not just in the last season and a bit! Love her character :wub: Bit of trivia - Maya Hawke's (who plays Robyn) parents are Uma Thurman (they look so much alike!) and Ethan Hawke.
June 5, 20223 yr Just stopping by to say Episode 4 might just be the best episode of the show ever, my heart was in my mouth for that ending scene and yes, Sadie deserves an Emmy for that. This series really isn't pulling any punches with its horror and I'm totally here for it. Stream Running Up That Hill x
June 5, 20223 yr Been out a week now so I won't use spoilers, but be warned. Not much to add that hasn't already been discussed - though it was a brilliant Volume 1 and it really does feel like the type of show these days that would benefit from 1 episode a week rollout. They neded it on a perfect reveal and it ties up Eleven and Venca nicely together. I think for a cast this big the various sub-plots are needed when it has become an ensemble show. Hopper still feels like he has legs of his character ti go, but Mike/Will/Jonathon seem so detatched from the main plot at this point. It was the same for Mike in Season 3 too. Fantastic to have the show back though and I thought the new additions to the cast were fantastic. Kind of feel like it is set up for someone to die/get trapped in the upside down world for good though as well as the obvious Venca vs Eleven battle that's going to happen in the finale.
June 7, 20223 yr I honestly thought Season 4 would be a letdown, I don't know why. Maybe because it took a while to be released (global pandemic). Instead it's been incredible so far and I am so hyped up for the final two episodes in July. Vecna is 001, woah what an ending. Poor Eleven, she really is the heart of 'Stranger Things'. The show just gets better and better for me, how is it possible to have so many regular characters and yet do not want a single one of them to be killed off, and the addition of Eddie, he's only been in Season 4 and already he's become one of the fans favourite characters amongst so many great characters to choose from.
June 21, 20223 yr Up to episode 4, woah! Max - Running Up That Hill, no wonder it's topping the charts!!! :wub:
July 1, 20223 yr A good article - ***Some minor spoilers*** https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/20...-review-netflix
July 2, 20223 yr Before I avoid this thread for another month given my snail pace at watching TV shows (:kink:), I will just stop by and say based on 1-7, this season is easily the best since S1 and may even better it in some. It's given me pretty much everything I've wanted that we didn't get from the last two seasons, primarily finally more explanation of the Upside Down and a more threatening villain than just a wordless monster (Love Vecna, Jamie Campbell Bower is really great and getting Robert Englund involved is utterly inspired given the Nightmare on Elm Street vibes), some much darker scares and some really excellent character moments where we really see the psychological effects the last three seasons. My only minor complaint is, as mentioned, the Will/Mike stuff is far, far less engaging and all those characters are a bit frustrating to watch. I'm hoping they can tie in a bit better in the finale. Hope the finale can add to this greatness so far!
July 2, 20223 yr https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40483679/stranger-things-max-die-season-4/ Totally agree with the above article in regards to Max's 'final moments' :mellow: That left a real bitter taste in my mouth.
July 3, 20223 yr We watched the final episodes on Friday. I’m also not sold on the development in spoilers but I’ll wait and see what the final series brings for that character before deciding whether it should have panned out differently or not. I get slightly frustrated by how they treat Eleven and her powers. It’s annoying how she switches between struggling and then blitzing everything with Vecna, she’s learned how to control her powers now so she should be able to not get stuck by similar problems… and I don’t think she should be able to bring people back to life either. I also found Eddie’s death frustrating. They gave him a hero style exit but what exactly did he stop?!!! He’d already distracted the bats and basically he just seemed to choose going out into them over making a sensible retreat with Dustin. A shame. LOL at the jock guy dying without any interest what so ever though, just the rift splitting him and whoops he’s gone
