I didn't really get the Russian plot. Kimiko's whole death was really sad.
Edith's emotional pain is really displayed well.
The character dynamics and the unraveling of Cousin Liz provides an interesting look at gay perceptions in the 1970s.
The episode ended on a kind note. I guess it's good Archie made up with Edith.
I like how tensely the episode ended
A bit of a slower episode. It lays the tension for the season. Seeing Deep eat the octopus was one of the more visceral things in the show.
The mind scape was neat, but the solution seemed kinda lame
This was a fun episode and Soloman really came across as a good character.
This is one of those infrequent episodes where Mike really comes across as a bad character.
Didn't see a good reason for the Breen antagonist to actually die. Good tense episode.
I wasn't pleased with the whole essay, particularly the violations of the prime directive. But it was neat to visit a pre-warp society.
This episode is very cynical about public transit and Mike's big thing wasn't heavily inspected
An episode with a sitcom trope of not talking directly. This ends in a heartfelt and poignant end.
Archie's character really shines here in the eulogy. That Cunningham was Jewish was an interesting twist.
Mike really looks bad here. Good that his trip was a failure.

Good ending to Rayquaza and good to get Sprigatito evolving.
There's a lot of great, creepy parts of this season. But there's also a lot of great character developments. Splitting the party between Hawkins and California gave a lot of time for people to develop.
The season had some pacing issues, with the final episode 2.5 hours to conclude all the things they started. They could've done better at integrating the stories earlier so that the season blended more smoothly.
Still, there's a lot of good drama throughout.
A long episode, longer than many movies, wraps up the season with plenty of exciting moments. I think the whole thing was exciting and gave the characters a lot of heartfelt and action beats.
The actual action ends about 40 minutes before the actual episode ends. The rest is just aftermath and there's a lot they try to wrap up. I think that's an unfortunate side effect of the season pacing.
The last ten minutes sets up the next season.
Fun character interactions with the characters trying to get around Archie. The old bus station was fun
A very tense episode that's got a lot of interesting discussions

Didn't enjoy Mike's whole anti child thing again
Good to see the story finally reconnecting
This episode had a driving plot that kept me engaged. It's good that the One/Vecna plotlines have some convergence. I think the CGI at the very end wasn't too good.
Fair episode. Didn't like the cops. 11's backstory is kinda long and the chronology was a bit confusing.
Very intense episode. I don't really get the Vecna stuff yet and where it's leading.
Surprised the mayor called in. John Carpenter was a bit odd. Fun discussions and panel. The Saymo saga was a nice send-off.
It was fine. Neat to see Ben Mank call in
Didn't get the sunglasses but a fun discussion
