Then you'd just smash the ones in whatever room you were in. You wouldn't just cry under a desk without trying something.

Although this is silly really. I appreciate im picking fault in something that's trivial
 
Jesus christ.

Its like action packed wall to wall (see what I did there) every damn minute.

Just finished e04

Definitely a few weird loop hole things and strange aspects. But amazing.

Why aren't they working with the military? They both appear in same side. (I hope they aren't as this makes more sense)
Couldn't they just save the kids by.. I dunno, taking them out of quarantine?
I hope to hell this isn't a "dream" type scenario. Or that he's wrapped up in layers of his own memories. Better not be! :D

Don't the military believe 11 is behind the problems? So assume they don't want to work with the military for this reason, but also, the military wouldn't take the kids away from quarantine due to thinking that 11 or whatever would follow.

IIRC Only now have the military seen Henry aka vecna aka 1 aka Mr itsy (I forget his newest name)

It's a worry as to why Mike always has all the answers and that once they play a scenario in dnd, it then happens in real life. I doubt this to be the case and it's more just to give a reason why Mike and his friends can figure out what's going on, which just happens to match dnd some what because the writers are quoting 80s stuff with the events and costumes etc. But if they pull a "it was all a dream" I will personally make sure Netflix stock tanks.

yeah I like to think that everyone hates anything like "it was all a dream" even though it's fiction. So. I just hope they don't do this.

I was wondering if the wall represents the limit of his mind... Apart from they did leave Hawkins at one point.

But yeah it would be criminal to make it all a dream.
 
I feel spoilers at this point isn't requried as its been out more than a week so plenty time to watch the 4 episodes, plus at this point it's foolish for someone to come into the thread if they are yet to watch the episodes. What is the normal for spoiler tagging after release?

Yeah the wall (in the upside down, the mushy one) is interesting. I figured it was a defensive structure he created rather than limits due to it not being around in other seasons.

It's interesting though that it's a perfect circle around Hawkins lab. Like it gets power from that which spreads exactly x miles in every direction.

The wall thing is also interesting as we are shown 2 walls this season. One the rock wall and two the mushy wall.

I feel they are not connected but presented now to lead is to connect the 2 and not realise the real reason.
 
Just watched the 1st episode and so ignoring EVERYTHING upthread. Enjoyed it ok, but although they are trying hard, I'm struggling to see the cast as anything other than adults, even though I think it's supposed to only be 4 years or so of realtime. It loses a lot of the wonderment

Found the first 30 mins or so tough going, likely because of the above.

Exactly the same as my thoughts

it's largely exposition, with this Netflix style of repeated, trudging plot points designed so people can play on their phones while 'watching' so they don't miss anything.

It may have been better to show us more rather than just kind of say it via the radio thing, I guess there just is too much other stuff to show that they can't spend 1/2 episodes on that stuff

I've tried watching the first ep of season 5 like 5 times now. Its not hooked me the same as before.

that is probably happening to you because it kinda feels disjointed in some ways from the S4, the big time gap does not help either.

I think stranger things has always been a mixed bag of good and bad, season 4 had some incredibly annoying stuff to put up with also
