Stranger Things

It’s over. 

The final season finally came out.

! (Spoilers) !

I got to see the final episode in a theater near my home and it was pretty good. I’m glad I got to see it in a theatre. 

This season has been crazy but it definitely didn’t end how I thought it would end. My roommate and I before it came out came up with all these theories and what route they might take with ending the show but it definitely wasn’t what We thought. 

I did like the ending but I definitely was expecting more. I thought maybe they would go a more DnD route with the story but they didn’t. I also was hoping maybe El and Mike would have a happy ending but that didn’t happen. 

I did like the ending where Mike became a writer and wrote a DnD campaign around their story, I thought it added a nice touch. I also liked how sad and emotional the final episode was toward the VERY end. I liked how it was the end and I liked how it felt like the end of something. It had that sad emotion to it. It was also just kind of open though. 

In my opinion yes the story felt done and feels ended but at the same time not really. There is so much story that wasn’t told and wasn’t explained but played a huge role in the series. The ending felt done but not complete if that makes sense. Like why is it all connected to DnD and what happened to the storyline where Joyce, Hopper, and Henry all grew up together. They didn’t put an outfit together, they just picked clothing items. If that analogy makes any sense. 

But over all I think it was pretty good. I think the dialogue could’ve been written a bit better. I think it didn’t really feel like the Duffers wrote it. I also thought th sudden change in Will’s character was a bit odd. How they just made Will suddenly outgoing and it just made it awkward. I also didn’t understand bringing back El’s sister Kali. It just didn’t make much sense to bring her back for eight episodes just to kill her off. I think overall the  story could’ve ended in a much more cohesive way that wrapped everything up, but it was great nevertheless.  It made some sense and was an ending. That’s all it needed. 

And plus who knows if they’re planning on making more that explain it all better. 

And that’s a wrap on stranger things. 

One last adventure now complete. 

The end of beginnings.

  1. I completely agree it felt unfished like some secret ending was waiting to pop out of the darkness. I have to disagree with the kali part though I felt since we see her the first, she was a very essential part of the story maybe the could’ve made her character less Hannah baker-Ish though. and maybe actually hopefully they make a new series about El and her journey, maybe she finds another pocket dimension I mean who’s to say there only one “mind flayer”.
