The story of 001 was very well told. Amazing! I can't describe how much I liked this plot. :open_mouth:

loading replies

joyce finally seeing hopper again and confirming that he's still alive AAAAAAAAAAH
THE ROTATING SHOT IN THAT BIKE SCENE THAT TRANSITIONS INTO THE UPSIDE DOWN WAS SOOOOOOOO SMOOTH I LOVED IT

THEN joyce and hopper finally reuniting, that scene made me tear up ngl

& i KNEW IT, i f*CKING KNEW ITTTTTTTT, the "number 001 being VECNA" reveal was such a good way to end off volume 1, literally cannot wait for volume 2 to come out

loading replies

Why is the rating for this episode so low? It did quite a good job to explain the origin. What's more other storyline developed quite well.

loading replies

Well....should we tell them who is 007?

loading replies

So the tiny chip in One's neck did all the job keeping the class 5 telekinesis x-men powers from showing up? Really? Are we sure we're in the 80s here?

loading replies

Good episode, but a bit too predictable imo.

loading replies

Bro that feels like straight adaptation from the back story of Anakin Skywalker

He's great with the psychokinetic abilities (like the force)
He turned evil
He killed the psychokinetic kids (like Jedi younglings)
He got burned (like Anakin)

This season was great

loading replies

I guess they did a good job of finally connecting the dots. I still think this part had way too many unnecessary characters and subplots. I couldn't care less for so much of it.

loading replies

so the rope gets stuck afloat in the gate between two dimensions but people don't
i wonder how that works? :thinking:

loading replies

my favorite part was when it was so dark I couldn't see f-all, again.... seriously, we don't all watch tv in complete darkness so for the love of God, make it brighter!

loading replies

1:.This was trippy
2: I need to learn morse code
3: maybe also Russian
4: Survival guilt is devasting

We are connecting the dots
but why Eleven? and why was Vecna showing Nancy his history?

loading replies

Loved the episode. Why isn't anyone relating this with Harry and Tom Riddle's story in the Chamber of Secrets? It's so obvious

  • 001 befriends El to relieve him off the chip. Riddle befriends Harry through the diary
  • 001 and Riddle both despise their fathers
  • 001 offers El to join him. Same thing happened in the Chamber
  • Spiders!!

Netflix spared no expense on this season’s visual effects. Complicated timeline and multiple worlds sewn together seamlessly

loading replies

El should’ve just run away with jamie

loading replies

Too bad it took til this episode for this season to get interesting. But there is still way too much plot salad going on for my tastes. It’s annoying. I hope the back half of this final season is a little cleaner as far as that goes.

loading replies

Everything is just either really convenient or implausible. For one: Getting across the upside down, communicating and getting help from the other side was way too easy. On the other hand: Why would Hopper waste so much vodka and even throw the bottle away? I was so certain he would at least try firebreathing or get as much out of it as possible.

However I actually liked the revelation about Vecna. Even though I predicted the connection between Henry Creel, One and the orderly. I had however thought Henry had been possessed possessed by Vecna. I like that he is actually the same person who was banned to the upside down better. (Pretty lame though that love is more powerful than hate ...)
I also like his motivation for killing and not simply being an evil being. But I still hoped for more of a "Vader-thing" in terms of continuing trying to pull Eleven to his side.

loading replies

The reveal was cool, I probably could have guessed it if the previous episodes weren’t so damn long and plagued with boring and unnecessary sub plots and my attention would’ve been at 100%.

loading replies

Come on! 1.5 hour "episodes" now? Drags a little don’t you think? 30 minutes of exposition with the very last shot making damn sure that "we get it"?! Booooring.

loading replies

Damn they made EL kinda cool there for a second

loading replies

The seasons keep getting worse and worse. Eleven's story was boring. Hopper was not necessary. 001. Yawn

loading replies

Great plots. A terrific reveal. Strong performances all around. The Russia stuff is once again the weak link, but even it is pretty darn good.

loading replies

What a great episode.
The story of 001 was really cool

loading replies

My score is an 8 because the writing is still solid, I like the world and the character interactions are really great (more Eddie please), but some of the stuff in the last 30 minutes had me scratching my head. Also Hoppers' storyline feels like a complete waste of time that should have ended in Episode 3, and the California boys got shafted for the final half of Volume 1. A bit all over the place.

loading replies

They sure turned this season around! Holy sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

But if he was so powerful, why the hell did he grow up and remain working at that facility? Did I miss something? Was it because daddy modded him with a chip so he could run pirated games on him? Wait, what?

loading replies

Wow! What an amazing episode that was. Fantastic special effects 10 out of :keycap_ten:.
Roll on the next episode's. :thumbsup_tone1:

OMG just when you think they cannot do a better show than they've already shown us is the last few seasons they take you by surprise!!! This is really the best season so far and this final episode is pure gold. A little predictable but hey that's ok the story is epic!!! Ugh really don't want to wait till the 1st of July to see how it truly ends!!!

loading replies

This is the kind of thrill I want in a show or Movie!!!
So many Goosebumps in this episode. Wow!

Glad I live in a world where shows like Stranger Things are made <3

loading replies

what in the fcking hell was that plot twist OMG...

loading replies

They fight off the bat things with oars from the boat, but not only did they clearly not dive into the water carrying the oars, they also would not have been able to drag the buoyant oars down to the bottom of the lake and through the gate. (Or did they just happen to find some oars lying around in the Upside Down?)

Also is there no water in the Upside Down? Why isn't there a lake on both sides?

loading replies

Dustin spoke my mind lol, they were really that stupid.

A huge step up from the previous episodes. Pacing was much better, we learned some new stuff (that twist was great), and got lots of action. Hope the last two episodes will be up to par with this one.

And man, I love Jamie Campbell Bower's voice, the way he speaks is mesmerising.

loading replies

Ugh.

- Why were they keeping around a deranged supervillian kid as an orderly and why were they letting him interact with the other potential child superheroes?
- How exactly did that chip keep him from manifesting his powers? Isn't that like critical information to stop other gifted kids gone rogue in the future? Would that chip/thing/whatever work on a demogorgon/mind flayer? Why couldn't he just rip it out of his neck himself?
- why does everyone keep wanting to have Nancy get back together with Steve? Pandering to the kiddie audience or something?
- we're never getting away from that dumb Russia subplot until the very last episode, aren't we?
- Hopper and Joyce are CRINGE

loading replies

Finally! The Russian part gets good

loading replies

Thank you Duffer Brothers for the most cliche fucking supervillain in the world - 6/10

loading replies

Hmm
I knew it's gonna be like this :smirk:

loading replies

A bit predictable if you've seen all the tropes before and the exposition/back story went on a wee bit too long but finally we're there. And if ALL the excruciating details still wasn't enough for Joe Public to get the picture, they do a final shot of Vecna's new and improved MASSIVE 001 tattoo to really drive it home. Cringey shot to end on tbh.

loading replies

I found it too forced how the built the bridge between Eleven and Vecna.

loading replies

Guess we'll find out Nancy's favorite song next episode!

That last half an hour was really this show at its best. Even though I predicted him being Nr 1 and the boy to be Vecna (and them being the same person slipped my mind as well) I still really liked the reveal, it was well done and Number One's monologue was fascinating. The actor is perfect for this role too.
Kinda a shame that the rest of the episode was a bit meh. Especially the whole Russia plot; I just can't wait for this one to be over.

loading replies

Really well executed, but we knew most of these things had to happen. I hope someone knows Nancy’s favorite song.

loading replies

MIND-BLOWN JUST WOW MIND-BLOWING :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head: tho i kinda felt that one was indeed vecna and he was thrown in the upside down when he fought el but i doubted my theory at first because it didn't align with the timeline of events (since that time i know that vecna was responsible for what happened to victor's family) bUT WHEN I WATCHED THE SCENE WHERE EL FOUGHT HIM AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN DOING SO. I ALREADY KNOW I WAS CORRECT :flushed::flushed::flushed:

the duffer brothers, come on give us the volume 2 ASAP !!!!! ☹☹☹

loading replies

That whole Nancy "I heard you've been looking for me" scene was uncalled for. They could have just shown his childhood. Why did Nancy have to be there?
And the final scene was very weak. What was exactly the memory that triggered El's powers? Because 001 tricked her? Because her mother? That was very weird. The deep-fake of El as a child, coupled with her bad acting overall made that fight look very weird. She just remembered her mother giving birth to her and somehow got the power to kill the one who's supposed to be the strongest? Who didn't even get training and is like the founder of said powers?.. Nah.. Season 1 was the best. The rest is nothing but an attempt to make more money.

loading replies

Another amazing episode, with action and special effects above 90% of all movies. Breathtaking finally and now the clock is counting until volume 2 comes out. I just have one comment: should the upside down world connect via the floor and not the ceiling?

loading replies

If people are complaining that the episodes are long, i agree. But, it was worth it! The running time is well justified. The storytelling was spot on!

loading replies

OH MY GODDDD THAT WAS GREAT!!! man this show is really great

Public service announcement: Steve :clap: Harrington :clap: deserves :clap: someone (literally anyone) :clap: better :clap: than :clap: Nancy.

loading replies

What a plot!!
yes it was little bit expected but they really did it so great, You just can feel there is something wrong with him, behind his smile there was pure evil, So yah they connected everything together perfectly, I felt like they called dark writer's haha, But yah they made a masterpiece and they already on part 4, normally most of series starts to drop down as they makes more parts but no they really kept it on the level
anyway waiting for the second part so soon
and for more of the suspense:')!

Amazing episode despite too much of the “this was my plan” villain backstory. A great villain makes you forgive the writers for making Will love sick and jealous and Jonathan a clueless stoner.

This first part of season 4 is a masterpiece in storytelling :100:

At least stuff happens in this episode but it's still TOO LONG. I was relieved once it was over because it felt like an eternity. Still liked it, and the 001 thing is great. Predictable, sure, but I do like it.
