Spoiler: 07-06-2022 04:47 AMIwritecodeWhen Eddie started shredding on the guitar and I heard the first few notes of this song I actually cheered out loud. This is my favorite song by my favorite band and he is definitely my favorite ST character on the entire show.
Spoiler: 07-06-2022 07:06 AMBev VincentNope, we don't know what happened to either of them. 07-06-2022 08:50 AMBrian861Quote:Seek & Destroy is my all time favorite but Master of Puppets is not far behind it. Chicken skin all over when that guitar roared to life. Eddie is the crowd I hung out with in my formative years; minus the D&D. Never was my bag.
Spoiler: 07-06-2022 09:50 AMIwritecodeSame. I think I mentioned it before but I had a friend in HS that basically was Eddie minus the D&D.
This scene also cracked me up.

Through their new company Upside Down Pictures, the Duffers are also developing another sci-fi/fantasy/horror series which will be based on Stephen King and Peter Straub‘s 1984 novel ‘The Talisman’. The Talisman tells the story of a young man who moves between New Hampshire and an alternate world called ‘The Territories’ to obtain an artifact that will save his mother’s life. 07-08-2022 05:26 AMwebstar1000This show is ready to end... that was a long drawn out yawn.... 07-08-2022 08:36 AMIwritecode 07-08-2022 09:01 AMMerlin1958 07-08-2022 09:06 AMwebstar1000 07-08-2022 10:34 AMmaeYup, we've even got a dedicated thread on that over at the Oracle here: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...uffer-Brothers 07-08-2022 05:14 PMHunchback JackI liked this season enormously - a much stronger story than previous seasons, and the young actors are bringing their A-games. Not without its flaws, but a return to form, in my opinion.
I also liked the longer-format episodes. I will say I thought the final episode suffered from too many endings in the last 20 minutes, but Season 5 can't come soon enough.
HBJ 07-08-2022 05:22 PMBrian861 07-11-2022 05:26 AMIwritecodeThis was the by far the best season so far IMO. I saw an interview with the Duffers and they talked about how they can do a little more horror and gore now that the kids are a bit older. They can really lean into the 80's horror movie themes like Halloween and Nightmare on Elm St. which were obviously big influences on them.
I liked the 3-4 concurrent story-lines with all the characters being split up as well. It kept everything flowing a little bit at a time without getting bored focusing on one or the another too long.
I think it was only drawn out because they had to get all the story-lines to eventually converge at the end.
The music choices were awesome. I already talked about the Metallica scene but I don't think anyone has mentioned this scene yet:

I love the slowed down version and the fact that they are literally separating and will be "world's apart". They could not have picked a more fitting song title. :P
The ending also reminded me very much of the old 80's horror movies where you knew the monster wasn't quite dead yet and would be coming back in the sequel(s). 07-11-2022 08:13 AMDoctorZaiusI totally agree with Iwritecode - 100%. Sat down with the wife and my two daughters last night to watch the epic finale. Loved every minute of it. Loved the jumping around to the various story lines. Loved that each group thought that they were fighting alone, and yet it was their combined efforts that truly won out - sort of. Easily my favorite season, while my wife and daughters are torn between seasons 1 and 4. 07-11-2022 10:50 AMwebstar1000 07-11-2022 05:50 PMBrian861 07-11-2022 05:52 PMBrian861
