Running up that hill… Stranger Things thread (spoilers)

That's about as good of a mix as you can make.

 

It took Mrs Spartan and I good three days to finish the last episode. So worth it and let me wanting another episode.

Since this is supposed to be a spoiler thread …

How long will Max stay in the coma? My guess is Eleven and Will are going to be the primaries to beat One/Vecna, but Max will pull a Bah Gawd, that’s Max’s music moment to pull off the win.

Speaking of Will, crush on El or a crush on Mike? I couldn’t figure out where they were going with the angst he was vibing.

RIP to the metal god.

 

Eddie would have been a great character to continue.

I am drawing a blank on if my wife said it or I read it somewhere or both, but a theory was that Max is brain dead. Thus Eleven seeing nothing but emptiness when she was in her mind at the end. It makes a lot of sense. Will be interesting to see what happens with that.

I think most assume Will is in love with Mike, but hey, who knows. Will is going to be key to winning this battle since he's still all engulfed with the badness. Does he make it out alive?

 

I think Vecna is in control of Max's mind still - hence the coma and Elle not being able to find anything.

 

Spinoff idea: Eddie in the afterlife forms a metal band and battles satanic hordes with his electric axe.

 

But he was in there when he battled Eleven. Also, she has to be dead to open up the last portal, right? And it opened. I guess she was dead before Eleven brought her back and is now on life support one way or the other.

 

Will is definitely in love with Mike, from that conversation and the longing look he had at him in the car. Maybe that gets pushed to the background because Mike and Eleven are clearly still a thing, but I imagine Will's sexuality will come up in the fifth season - maybe via a conversation with Robin? They've been separated by distance up until this point.

 

At the BBQ this weekend I asked 13 yr old kid what he thought and he said Will might just be really sad that he’s lost his best friend and is pining just for the friendship lost. So I got a different perspective.

Eh, he's not giving Dustin and Lucas those looks. Tell that 13-year-old he's a LOSER!!!!!

 

My 11 year old, red-headed daughter is bummed about Max but beyond excited to see Anne With An E getting more run next season.

 

Well, guess I was wrong:
