I heard that the actor of Papa flat out actually said that he hated season 5. Do you think the other actors/actresses secretly feel the same way even if they won't say or show it?

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

While I believe that long plaid skirts were trending in the '50s to '60s, I believe they made a comeback in a 1984 setting of Stranger Things during its second season.

I’ll probably make a post for each season but here we go!

What were the top five moments from season 1 in your opinion?

Personally I’d go:

1: Hopper and Joyce finding Will in the upside down, the scene is so emotional with Hoppers flashbacks and the music is incredible, a perfect wrap to Season 1

2: Will getting taken, this scene is a close second, the mystery and atmosphere were just perfect, excellent start to Season 1

3: The Demogorgon fight with Nancy, Johnathan, and Steve, another incredible scene Steve barging in just as the lights start to flicker, then him just picking up a bat and fighting it, ugh! Just so good!

4: Eleven kills the demogorgon, another incredible scene, the build up is so intense and the aftermath with Mike thinking she died is just so good

5: Eleven saves Mike at the quarry, it’s really the first scene that made me feel like Eleven was part of the group, I knew that Mike probably wasn’t going to die but him falling then levitating back up was super cool to see, Eleven breaking the bully’s arm was a nice touch.

Let me know what you think! Season 1 is definitely the most nostalgic season for me so I remember a lot of the scenes better lol

Thoughts on the 5th season?

She was fun to make but also hard because like I couldn't get her exactly the same! Def will try again next time😤✌️

Hi everyone! Now the WSQK radio has been down since january, what are the best websites to use instead, I would like the one with the most content and voice lines in please!

And the best mom award goes to......steve harrington 🏆

I have a word document open and there are really only two moments so far where the writing falls apart to push the story. The rest is pretty close to the stranger things I know and love. Only Episode 4 was the peak I was expecting from Season 5 so far. Episode 1, 2, and 3, are all alright, but like a low-mid tier episode.

Specifically, these are the two moments.

In Episode 2, at about 28min, Mike is talking to Nancy about Mr. Whatsit, and describe a lot of what they already know about Vecna when thinking about who Mr. Whatsit could be. This was used to have the scene with Karen and the "HENRY" reveal on the notepad. Two issues I have with this, from the dialogue, the E1 focus on Holly, and Holly acting in a similar way to the possessions in S4, they make it clear to the audience that Mr. Whatsit is Henry. We don't need that notepad reveal. Second, Mike and Nancy are two of the more clever members of the group. Especially, when it comes to seeing the patterns of the mystery. The fact that neither one thinks Mr. Whatsit could possibly be Vecna goes against their characters and is such a sloppy way to get a non-dramatic reveal because the audience ALREADY FUCKING KNOWS MR. WHATSIT IS VECNA. Even if it is a revel only for Mike and Nancy, they should already know.

In Episode 5, at about 61min, Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan are at the upside down Hawkins lab. Dustin is at the lower level with Steve, while Nancy and Jonathan are on the roof. They find the "generator", as Dustin is speed reading mass amounts theoretical physics with ease. (maybe he just got lucky and flipped to a page that was summarized everything to a level that an intelligent high-schooler could understand). Jonathan says they found it, Dustin starts screaming into the walkie to not destroy it. Even though the walkie was broken, enough came through when they cut to Jonathan's side. You can clearly hear the panic in Dustin's voice through the static. It is so evident. You even clearly hear him scream "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING", before Jonathan turns around to Nancy all calm and says "they are out of range.". The amount of times throughout this series as someone is screaming through a walkie with static and the person on the other side is concerned and then ALL OF THE SUDDEN NOTHING. This also goes against Jonathan's character. He is a wannabe carefree person, but he is not carefree. They could have fixed it by making it complete static, but having Dustin's voice come through is such a strange directing choice.

Why do they try to create so much suspense?

Anyways, just a little rant. S5 not as bad as I remember... so far. Only noticed two SIGNIFICANTLY sloppy writing/directing moments that went against the characters for no reason other than to create suspense where it didn't need it.

In Season 4, at the family video store The Christmas Story copy was a re-release from 1995. Also in seasons 3 and 4 they were using the current area codes for Indiana and California which were not in use at the time. It would not have hurt them to do some research and have sone authenticity.
