Nowhere Man

Time for me to watch the ST finale ONE MORE TIME! Don't be confused by the final battle. The Mind Flayer is a disembodied dust cloud. It possess and builds bodies for its use, but you can't ever kill it by killing its physical bodies. But the wormhole it built is destroyed. It'll have to build a new one, and find another vessel to open it. We don't actually know how many times it has attempted a similar invasion on Earth. There's a camera shot right before the truck is opened where El is standing right behind Mike. In the next camera shot, after the truck is opened, El isn't in the truck. Also, if El had really been standing in the gateway, the sonic devices would've dropped her to her knees, as it did earlier. I believe that Mike will never give up searching for El. In between writing projects, he'll plan "vacations" to remote towns near waterfalls. Speaking of unresolved issues, even the theories that were presented may not hold water. The military believes that the blood of "sorcerers" can create new "sorcerers", but what if they're completely wrong (both Kay and Brenner)? Since Henry was trapped in Hawkins Lab and he was possessed by the Mind Flayer, perhaps it was the Mind Flayer who possessed the Hawkins Lab children via Henry, and that's how they acquired their powers. And perhaps something unusual happened with El, and it was her MOTHER who had acquired her powers via some other source. Perhaps there're other "sorcerers" on Earth who have been fighting the Mind Flayer for the entirety of human history.

I love this series with my whole heart. I am overwhelmed with emotions over the ending, happy and sad. I think it's very hard to end a series. In the moment I just gotta turn my brain off and enjoy it because the more I watch it over with the various reaction channels, the more I can't ignore the plot inconsistencies and interesting writing decisions. I need to revisit this season after some time lol. Don't get me wrong, I still love the series and the epilogue.

It was such a beautiful Epilogue that really saved this season for me. I didn’t realize I needed that…and I was someone confused as to why they didn’t kill off main characters. I get it now, that was never what this show was about. Well, here we go again. 🤧😭

Certain people notice possible clue for spin off there. Notice Robin said we meet at my weird uncle place in Philadelphia there. Possible set up or maybe random line. Like You dropped a bomb on me perfect song but Prince was okay there. People forget combat round is three second most epic battles end very quickly especially save vs death spell. What adult or kid was me back in 1989 someone asked. It Murray and Steve. Like Vecnazula is trending on social media yes also you dropped bomb me is trending. Water spit. Like what about Suzie or Arlo or Dr Kay or Sam Owens in future. Maybe we book or comics fill in. Tara cuddle your cats and like Andrew cuddle some dogs like then you cheer up. Maybe Strange Things board game or video game comes out. The dark room with some water is used in the movie Under the Skin weird movie. Like the 94.5 SQWK The Squawk is on Youtube there. My pitch is 1991 is Vampire creature is problem Curse of Strahd in 1991 in Midwest new town is used. Okay 2026 keep moving there. Update you now cannot buy soda or candy using any vouchers and most seller made one soda item and one candy item big sign even if using cash. First world problems. Like insert you mad bro meme there.

Thank you, Tara and Andrew for this amazing journey! I have joined Patreon to watch this show with you, guys, and I'm so thankful for this reactions. You are the best!

Love you guyss <3 Would love you all here to watch The Vampire Diaries over here with us. This show wont disappoint it gets soo good. You both along with Greg and John would be a super watch. Anyways Stranger Things will be missed alot i have literally grown up with the show this was so emotional a perfect finale and a really good season but S4 will remain top tier for me. The last 40 mintues were the best for me i kept crying this entire episode even El's moments with Hopper were so so good and my favs Dustin and Steve so good seeing them and seeing Steve become children's coach what else do we need? He got a lot of nuggets now lol. I love how he was the only adult guy from our group who stayed back in Hawkins so adorable and really fits his character so well. The final goodbye with our main guys playing D&D was so freaking emotional i cried non stop specially with the theme score playing gets more heartbreaking... Goodbye ST until next time...

A little bummed you guys didn’t watch the credits, they were part of the whole final experience. Loved rewatching this series and season 5 with y’all, thanks!

I adore the finale because I always cared a lot more about the characters and their arcs than the supernatural stuff. When it comes to the characters they absolutely nail their endings to a degree that very few shows have. The endings they have for them and how it is all handled is so beautiful but also so melancholic and I adore that choice. Having Mike narrate the ending of himself and his friends is particularly affecting because it gives us a glimpse at that their future could be but it isn't definitive. That works especially beautifully when it comes to El because we will never know the truth and even if his theory is right, it is a very bittsweet end because maybe they find each other one-day or maybe they never, ever do. Maybe his theory is wrong and she did die.
