cycle25 Posted August 24, 2025 Posted August 24, 2025 Heya, with Stranger Things' final season set to air this year-end, was wondering if there are any others who follow the series here? I typically watch with my mom as its an interest that we both share, so something for us to bond over. But would be cool to find others here who watch the show too. Kenjikenji 1 Quote

Season 5 is the final season. Originally season 4 was to be the final but they decided to drag it out a bit more. 9 hours ago, songiez said: can't wait, it's been so long! It has been a while, hasn't it? My mom used to complain that it was so long between seasons. 🤣 Quote
songiez Posted September 8, 2025 Posted September 8, 2025 Yes it’s been years! Haha! But love the overall theme as well 80s nostalgia, arcades, tabletop gaming, the way bonds develop etc. Quote

Ooh, those episodes are longer? The good thing about waiting to watch Volume 1 is that I don't have to wait as long for Volume 2. 🤣 By the way, any opinions on Volume 1 so far? Personally, enjoyed it overall. There were some artistic differences and the pace felt a lot quicker than Season 4, which felt a little draggy at times. I also enjoyed how everything in this season is connecting the whole story & arcs across various seasons together. Also, the LGBT moments for our 2 LGBT characters was heartwarming to me. Quote

There is nice sense of seamlessness to volume. Like the Duffer Brothers knew exactly what they wanted to do in each episode. Was considerably darker than seasons 1 to 3. The Sorcerer's ending was good however I was spoiled by social media before I got to watch it. At this point, every character should get a chance to be paired up with Robin. She literally has chemistry with everyone. cycle25 1 Quote

She literally has chemistry with everyone. I managed to avoid spoilers somehow, haha. But the ending of The Sorcerer was somewhat close to what I had anticipated based on Mike's speech on how Will could potentially exert control. So it turned out as I expected based on that dialogue in the episode. Also, can I just shout out Karen / Cara Buono? What a hero moment there! The Wheeler dad (Ted) acted just as I expected he would - clueless for most part - during his episode. One thing I am missing from this season, though, is the thematic moments that harkened back to the 80's through the score, etc. With this season seeming to go for more action shots, action sequences, that part seems to have faded a little more understandably. Now, one pressing question I have.... What exactly happened to the Turnbow family? Were they left in the barn blindfolded? 🤣 Cube3 and ziurtis 1 1 Quote

Wah, what a series of episodes. This season has been full throttle all the way. I did enjoy all 3 episodes though, several standout moments to me. Looking forward to, but sadly, the finale episode. Wonder if there's interest for a watch party for this. 😅 Quote

I re-watched everything several months before starting S5. With the public holidays, good time to do so. Alternatively, can watch recap videos on YouTube. wanton_mee 1 Quote
