I think 6 was the best episode of the 3. Episode 7 was a good setup for the finale.

I wonder if we'll ever find out what young Henry found in the suitcase in the tunnel. That might be covered in that Broadway play, but I'm never going to go watch that bs :manny:
I mean i just hit up Wikipedia but yea its fukked up when they easily could've just shown that part. would've only took an extra 5 minutes. im already used to them stretching shyt so it is what it is.

& Ofc you got cacs on reddit acting like they had a "theory" when its blatantly revealed in the play. People be gatekeeping plot points and calling it theories. smh

I don't have any gripe over this, but I'm honestly a little but surprised that
so many people were surprised that Holly didn't wake up in the Upside Down. I thought it looked really obvious last season when Vecna went into the other dimension that it wasn't the Upside Down, and was its own place, and since we saw the Demos and the Mind Flayer there, I never really thought those things came from the Upside Down.

Maybe it's something that was meant to be a surprise for the characters, but not to us, the audience
This season continues to be dope. The cast feels bloated, though, and I do hope they actually kill a few people off, but at least everyone's arcs are in place, and this season has felt fairly concise and to the point.

One of my few gripes though are the super common exposition dumps telling stuff to the audience that we already know. Especially when they;'e coming up with their little gameplans and stuff. It used to feel like we'd get a couple of those every season, but now it feels like it's happening every episode.

I’m looking forward to the finale but it’s still just too many characters. I’m not even talking about the core team which is 10 deep. Karen Wheeler, Murray, the teacher, somebody related to the team should have died before the finale. We going into next week with 3 starting lineups :pachaha:

Eleven
Eight
Will
Mike
Lucas
Dustin
Steve
Jonathan
Nancy
Robin
Murray
Hopper
Joyce
Max
Holly
Erica

Plus we got Sarah Connor and her military group that will need to get dealt with.

Sound sound sound
The dude who plays will is easily the worst actor of the cast..he’s terrible at face acting, and he speak like he’s reading the script

Gay dude just casually showed up to his audition and got one of the most meaningful parts :russ:

Dope show nonetheless ..can’t wait to see how it all finishes. Not really interested in future spin offs though. I’m fine with my knowledge of the Hawkins-verse and its lore ending next week

I think they're doing it more to get as much interaction amongst the large cast as possible, so I don't mind it. It was less in previous season because the full group didn't interact as much - moments were very few and in-between. But I'm glad they're putting the dynamic to work. I maybe one of the few that pushed for this, and not Team A/Team B/Group 4/Duo 8 that they've been using up til this point.
