Stayed up and watched TUDUM on Netflix last night. 1am til 3am, mainly for the stranger things segment, the three lads of the cast were very awkward and the trailer shows mostly what's already happened...so I was pretty annoyed...however we do have the dates. Still 6 months to go!

[Crimson Dynamo]

It's a weird one with Stranger Things... it's pretty much the only show left (now ending) from the era when Netflix were making really great/narrative driven shows.

They're not really commissioning shows like this any more (too expensive).

Feels like the end of an era with Stranger Things finishing up.

It's also been quite a while since we had a new "cultural phenomenon" (Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Walking Dead, going further back things like Lost...) will there ever be another ... :worry:

TBF I quite enjoy Netflix' reality trash shows. But they're not really the same sort of television :joker:.

Only Murders In the Building can kinda be added to that list, of ''cultural phenomenons'' in terms of a good mix of older and younger generations whom also play alongside each other very impressively, and a series which manages to attract A-Lister names to its cast each season so far, even a non-actor like Sting put in a good acting performance and not just a ''cameo''

upcoming season has ''Bridget Jones'' ICON Renee Zellweger, as well as Christoph Waltz, best known as the more recent Blofeld actor, as well as ''Hans Landa'' opposite to Brad Pitt in Inglorious Bastards


+
The amount of media attention this series gets, also off set, now with Meryl Streep & Martin Short's romance both in the series and in real life

I’d put Severance up there as the new one.

[bots]

I think what the problem is, is that not many shows take the time to develop characters over a number of seasons. Things like GoT and Stranger Things, you actually see the characters growing older in front of your eyes. Breaking bad and better call saul also did brilliant character development. Compare the character development in Dexter to the main character in You and the difference is blatantly obvious

[Barry.]

Need to catch up on the series but I’m excited. Sad it’s the end though

[user104658]

I’d put Severance up there as the new one.

I agree in terms of potential and the discussion it generates but not sadly in terms of cultural relevance - most people hadn't heard of it, things like "Stranger Things", "Game of Thrones", "Lost" in the mid-00's were "household names". Breaking Bad is another one, I knew I was forgetting one BOTS! And Dexter, to an extent.

Severance is for one a little too nice plot wise but also, is only on a slightly-obscure platform so it's not "water cooler talk" territory.

[Ammi]

…Schitt’s Creek has to be up there in terms of cultural phenomenon also, I’m not even going to consider that it wouldn’t be…and what about Squid Games…?…

I liked it but never really got past about episode 5 or 6

I think the way series are these days, it's just a different ball game. There is so much content available now that i have a healthy list of shows i consider bangers, but then, i may only be in a group of 1000 people world wide that think the same as me :laugh:

Things like foundation and slow horses, also on apple, i consider bangers. From and dark i consider bangers.

However none can come close to a show i don't think has been mentioned yet .... friends :laugh:

I think that AppleTV has those kinds of Shows now.

Silo
Severance
Foundation (going by what the fans say)
And Dark Matter (again going by what the fans say)

Netflix have just gone downhill.

[Strictly Jake]

iKZyYdwS3Wg

This looks so good! I'm not ready for it to end though. Its one od my favourite shows of all time

[Jordan.]

The best WOKE netflix show. How exciting! :flutter:

[Nicky91]

can't say i'm more excited for this, than i am for Alien: Earth, or S5 Only Murders in the Building

oh yeah also Percy Jackson & Olympians S2 coming in December :amazed: and from that one's same production team, also a new power rangers series dropping as a disney+ original




----------
anyway

it is good that most of the cast of Stranger Things venture into other projects, Sadie in that musical drama O'Dessa recently and she is rumoured to be in the new Spider-Man film: Brand New Day, while David Harbour (Hopper) also has landed himself a major role for his character in the MCU since Black Widow basically, also in Thunderbolts, and likely will also be in Avengers: Doomsday

[Benjamin]

Very excited for the final. As if it’s been 9 years since it all started!

[Niamh.]

Can't wait

[Crimson Dynamo]

This will be brilliant

I think people like it more for the interactions of the characters than all the exploding CGI stuff they crammed into that trailer, however

[bots]

it had to have a final season after the way it left the ending of the last season. I don't want to watch any trailers so i avoid any spoilers, but I heard Max will play an important role in the next season .... but it's not clear if she comes out of her coma :omgno: I think she is my favourite character on the show, so i am pretty invested in her future

[Niamh.]

I was just trying to decide who my favourite is and i can't, there's a few of them I really like, my top 4 are, Joyce, Hopper, Steve & Erica

[Crimson Dynamo]

Dustin, Steve, Hopper, Murray, Nancy, Nancy's dad and Max

Shout out to Eddie, Argyll and Scott Clarke

[Niamh.]

There's so many great characters, so hard to just pick one. Some really good smaller side characters too like Alexei and Bob

I had a few from BB too :p Jesse, Mike and Saul

[Niamh.]

And Hank and Marie :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Robin is a great side character, although crowbarring her in as a lesbian was just a distraction

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e1/fc/31/e1fc3107bf1e124d138f620dcc1e348d.jpg

[bots]

Robin and Steve are a great comic duo

[Niamh.]

They didn't crowbar her in as a lesbian, it was part of the story of her friendship with Steve. Steve thinking she was really into him etc

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am praying Max makes it. I am exciiiiiited.

…I’m excited and not excited because if this is the final season then after this, the excitement will be gone and I love the anticipation of a loved series…

The saddest death in all of Stranger Things.

[Benjamin]

I think Robin or Steve will be killed off this season.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think Robin or Steve will be killed off this season.

No way will it be steve

but it will be a Murray or someone similar

[Benjamin]

No way will it be steve

but it will be a Murray or someone similar

I think Murray will also defo be killed, but they’ll take out another main character too as it’s the finale.

Max seems too obvious. They won’t kill off the “kids”, Nancy, Hopper or Joyce. But Steve or Robin are high chances I reckon - they’ll sacrifice themselves to save someone else.

[Benjamin]

I also hope they pay homage to Barbara.

[Niamh.]

Yeah I reckon it could be Steve too unfortunately

[bots]

I think anyone is fair game in the final season unfortunately

[Vicky.]

I think Steve. He's very popular and it would be more 'shocking' to a lot of people

[Nicky91]

am thinking Jonathan for some reason, perhaps sacrificing himself to save Will?




pretty sure Hopper will survive, if he even survived going through that portal, somehow ending up in russia




also in the teaser

face something more powerful and deadly than ever before.


makes me think, that Vecna might not be the only threat then from the upside down?

[Benjamin]

Official release date is 26 November for first 4 episodes. The next 3 episodes on 25 December with the finale released 31 December.

Do you agree its the weakest episode of the whole season?

[Glenn.]

Do you agree its the weakest episode of the whole season?


A completely non episode that serves no purpose.

[bots]

that episode was meant to spawn a spin off show and the audience reacted with a resounding wtf is this crap :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I genuinely said to smallest boy last night as the episode started "I wonder how many people around the world will watch this episode today?"

We settled at 500,000 :joker:

[emseateng2014]

2 more months untill part 1 of the final deletion season of stranger things

[Crimson Dynamo]

In Stranger Things, Eleven is named after her number tattoo, "011", and the name isn't a direct reference to the Spinal Tap movie. However, the concept of numbered test subjects in secret government experiments is a common theme, as is the use of "11" to signify going "one further" or beyond the standard ten, a concept popularized by the Spinal Tap scene where amps "go to eleven".

4xgx4k83zzc

[emseateng2014]

was that the season 2 sub plot storyline where eleven went to find her birth mom and she encountered someone like her on the streets of chicago who was i think number 8

Steve Harrington is in Stranger Things season 5, and actor Joe Keery is confirmed to be reprising his role. While his final fate is unknown and has been a subject of fan speculation, he is a confirmed cast member for the upcoming final season

[Tony Montana]

er, where is steve?

You can see him 39 seconds into the video next to Nancy.

[emseateng2014]

25 days i think untill stranger things returns

oh man, there was about 5 jump scares in the first 5 mins :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

So Vecna was around in series one!

[Swan]

Cannot wait for this. This show got me into synthwave music and i've not looked back since. Might binge watch the whole thing again before the final season

[bots]

So Vecna was around in series one!

yeah, he created everything in the upside down

[Crimson Dynamo]

yeah, he created everything in the upside down

and he let Will live and Hopper and Joyce find him uncontested so he could use him in Series 5

:omgno:

[Benjamin]

Hope we get redemption for Barb.

[bots]

i hope Max recovers from her coma and doesn't die ..... but i think i'm probably asking too much

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes although not much of Max in the trailers

She is a great character

[Benjamin]

Yes although not much of Max in the trailers

I think they’ve gone it on purpose to keep us guessing what happens to her.

Been watching S1 tonight, they're babies, how are they even grown adults now?! Mad.

Justice for Barbara!

[emseateng2014]

yeah, he created everything in the upside down

didnt dustin say is season 4 that vecna aka one aka henry is only a general of the upside down world and not like the main villain aka the one who is really pulling the strings

[Nicky91]

vile Netflix raising their prices by 25%



should've known, with their no.1 cashcow Stranger Things final season release :idc:



Netflix are always below Disney Plus for me personally, quantity over quality that is Netflix :laugh:


Disney Plus got way more content, themselves and they also loan from big franchises (they had Transformers films on it, during the summer, and now they currently are loaning The Mummy films)

[Nicky91]

up against Percy Jackson & Olympians season 2 then more or less in the streaming wars


and honestly, whereas Stranger Things is wrapping things up, Percy is only just beginning i think, whom already won ''outstanding teen series'' after season 1

[Benjamin]

I've currently been doing that for the past week, just started S4 last night. Those 1hr+ long episodes and that 2hr long finale are gonna be tough that's for sure. At this rate I'm likely gonna start S5 on Friday.

[Benjamin]

Anyone watching S5 make sure to spoiler anything about it once it’s out.

[Livia]

Going to wait for the weekend. Re-watched all the previous seasons in the last few weeks.

what a mind boggling season 5 part 1 it was

like holy fork

[Nicky91]

All Hail Lord Vecna :worship: :worship:

strutting his stuff beautifully, how he got Holly as his next prey

[Vicky.]

The ending gave me goosebumps:laugh:

I also don't understand how the Demogorgons could suddenly make gates all over? unless I missed something?

[Glenn.]

Just finished. Wow

[emseateng2014]

The ending gave me goosebumps:laugh:

I also don't understand how the Demogorgons could suddenly make gates all over? unless I missed something?

it was a mind boggling ending like double shocker and nancys reasons about the missions made scense because what of happened in season 4

which brings me to the what if ending where its nancy and eleven the ones who destory henry aka vecna aka 1

i can imagine it now nancy says a 80s style action movie catchphase to vecna aka 1 aka henry and then kablewy

[emseateng2014]

All Hail Lord Vecna :worship: :worship:

strutting his stuff beautifully, how he got Holly as his next prey

it always could make gates. Remember season 1, at the pool, in the school, in the forest, at will's house ......

great first episode

[Vicky.]

must have missed that somehow, thought only vecna and eleven could make gates for some reason! :laugh:

[emseateng2014]

lol i watched stranger things season 5 part 1 again

[bots]

must have missed that somehow, thought only vecna and eleven could make gates for some reason! :laugh:



of course given the revelation that vecna was always there at the beginning of episode 1, it may have been vecna that opened the gates :laugh:

[Vicky.]

lol i watched stranger things season 5 part 1 again

I'll probably do this:laugh:

[Nicky91]

of course given the revelation that vecna was always there at the beginning of episode 1, it may have been vecna that opened the gates :laugh:

fantastic :amazed:

you guys did not watch all 4 back to back to back to back

[emseateng2014]

doing the next 2 tomoz

lol when i watched season 5 part 1 the 1st time on wedensday i kinda thought of doing that

watch 2 on wedensday and the next 2 on thursday

but after what happened the episodes got so exciting that i do not want to wait

[emseateng2014]

I'll probably do this:laugh:

:laugh:

[emseateng2014]

imagine if there was stranger things movies series where they would be based on the between seasons

as in stranger things movies between season 1 and 2 then between 2 and 3 then between 3 and 4 and between 4 and 5

its most likely gonna happen but doctor who style where its in comics audios and paperback books

[Crimson Dynamo]

you guys did not watch all 4 back to back to back to back

no that is too much in one night

2 tonite and 2 tomorrow

[Benjamin]

doing the next 2 tomoz

Same here. Just watched first two.

[emseateng2014]

no that is too much in one night

2 tonite and 2 tomorrow

too much excitment lol

[emseateng2014]

I have this theory about why mrwhatsit aka vecna aka one aka henry wants the the kids

what if he wants them to have super powers like 11 aka jane kali aka 8 and william

[Ammi]

…one more episode to watch of the four…it’s hit the ground running for sure…

[millyrose]

It's a weird one with Stranger Things... it's pretty much the only show left (now ending) from the era when Netflix were making really great/narrative driven shows.

They're not really commissioning shows like this any more (too expensive).

Feels like the end of an era with Stranger Things finishing up.

It's also been quite a while since we had a new "cultural phenomenon" (Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Walking Dead, going further back things like Lost...) will there ever be another ... :worry:

TBF I quite enjoy Netflix' reality trash shows. But they're not really the same sort of television :joker:.

I don't want Stranger things end think it's great, loved the other programmes you mention Walking dead, Game of thrones, and Lost all have been my favourites.

[millyrose]

Very excited for the final. As if it’s been 9 years since it all started!

Wow has it been that long

[millyrose]

There's so many great characters, so hard to just pick one. Some really good smaller side characters too like Alexei and Bob

I can't choose who my favourite character is they are all so good. It's been lovely to watch them grow from school kids to young adult's.

[millyrose]

I think Robin or Steve will be killed off this season.

I really hope no one will be killed off but sadly i think some will.

[millyrose]

Official release date is 26 November for first 4 episodes. The next 3 episodes on 25 December with the finale released 31 December.

I still don't know what to do. i haven't watched any of it yet. I was thinking of waiting and watch it all over Christmas.don't know if i can wait that long, I have just binged watched all the other series again for the third time :laugh: just on the last 2 episode's of series 4.

[millyrose]

Same. Plus the final season of Alice in Borderland drops tomorrow. :amazed:

Is that any good i did try to watch it but couldn't get into it.

[bots]

I'm savouring it like a fine wine. I've watched the 1st episode, now I'm going to let that settle before watching the 2nd episode

[Benjamin]

I’m appreciating Karen fighting and wounding the demigorgen whilst drunk with her wine. :love:

[Benjamin]

Is that any good i did try to watch it but couldn't get into it.

So good. It takes a couple of episodes to build up but then it’s amazing. Defo try again and finish season 1 and you’ll see what I mean.

[millyrose]

Ok thanks i'll give it a go

[Benjamin]

Ok thanks i'll give it a go

Also it’s better in Japanese with subtitles (mainly because I hate dubs lol).

[Ammi]

…I thought that it was a perfect storyline place to break for the next released episodes…that episode was such a thrilling ride…:love:..

[Benjamin]

…I thought that it was a perfect storyline place to break for the next released episodes…that episode was such a thrilling ride…:love:..

Agreed. Just finished the last two.

Odds on which main characters will be killed off in the finale:



Vecna - 7/4
Eleven - 2/1
Steve - 5/2
Nancy - 3/1
Murray - 11/4
Will - 10/3
Mike - 7/2
Dustin - 4/1

Karen - 5/1
Jim - 11/2
Joyce - 6/1
Jonathan - 13/2
Max - 7/1
Lucas - 8/1
Erica - 10/1


I’d be saddest if they killed Robin or Murray off

[Tony Montana]

Almost finished with my S4 rewatch. God, those runtimes were torture.

Will spend all of tomorrow watching S5. Haven't seen any spoilers yet so that's good for me.

[Strictly Jake]

Finished part 1 of series 5 last night. It is so good so far!!

Seeing Max as a brilliant suprise. Holly is a great character. I was pretty sure hopper was going to die in that last ep. The sorcerer was a fantastic episode! It was really tense at the end

[Zizu]

I can’t decide wether to watch the whole thing before watching the new season or maybe just watch the last episode !!)

( I have an absolutely dreadful memory and can’t remember a thing about what’s happening thus far !! )


In fact this is a good example of how bad my memory is !!!

If you said I could have a £thousand for every key moment of the previous 4(?) seasons then all I can tell is that the main characters were 4 or 5 teenagers and the only scene I can recall was a guitarist stood on a mini bus / coach playing a Metallica song in a storm

[Zizu]

Right committee decision based on the above post


I will have to watch the whole boxset from season 1 , episode 1 !!!!!

I don't think Max will wake from her coma. I think 11 or Mike will die because they started making plans for the future. I think Robin'a gf will die

From chatgpt

Fan Theories on Who Might Die
• Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown): Many believe she could sacrifice herself to destroy Vecna and seal the Upside Down forever.
• Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton): A trailer shows Nancy sobbing while washing away blood, sparking theories Jonathan may die.
• Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink): Still brain-dead after Vecna’s attack in Season 4, her fate is precarious. Fans suspect she may not survive.
• Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin): Cast interviews hinted his finale was “different,” raising speculation about his survival.
• Steve Harrington (Joe Keery): Long considered “prime for a noble death,” Steve’s protective role could lead to a heroic sacrifice.


The Duffer brothers have teased that the final episodes will include the “most violent death” in the series

who will survive the great war at the hawkins compound between the party and the upside down world platoon in the final deletion episode

I’m so glad that 8 was shown again, it makes her season 2 appearance make more sense and not just a quick “you’ve got a “sister” here”. Vol one of season 5 was amazing. Will! He’s got powers too, that was a great twist. Does this mean Holly has powers too? Or the other kids Vecna choose?

Can’t wait for vol 2

Ah so he borrowed Vecna’s. I can see 8, 11 and Will coming together to beat him now.

If I had to choose someone to die in the finales, it would be Hopper. He almost did like twice now and he would do anything for El, even dying

Finally finished it and what a solid first 4 episodes it's been. Episode 4 was peak TV. Those last 20 minutes were insane.

I'm glad they brought back Kali/8. I know a lot of people hate her episode and consider it to be the worst episode of the show, but we needed some closure for her and this seems like the best time to bring her back. My theory is that the military are using her to hide them from Vecna and that she will play a big role in defeating him.

Will getting powers was by far the biggest jaw-dropper of the series. I didn't think anything could top Running up that Hill, but this has definitely did that.

[Shaun]

Re: the speculating who dies thing, I think it'll be less of a bloodbath than some think.

Every series has indeed had deaths, but they've always largely been new characters who last less than a season (Bob, Barb, Chrissy, Eddie, Alexei).

Even with the chance to kill off a side character in these first four episodes like Karen or Ted, they still left it ambiguous and it looks likely that (at least) Karen will survive.

Now they've brought back Kai / 8, I could see her being used in this way... a familiar face, somewhat, sacrificed for the greater cause and another spurring point in Eleven unleashing her full rage and powers.

But as for the main cast... I really can't see anyone going aside from Steve or Will. Or of course Vecna.

It doesn't make thematic sense for them to end the series on a bum note, ie. "Vecna wins = everyone dies"... so assuming that the evil is defeated, I think it'll be with minimal main character deaths. I don't think any others of the core 6 friends will perish (Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Max or El) and of the older crew I can only really see Murray kamikaze-ing himself with his truck for the greater cause and dying a hero's death.

The one that confuses me the most from this first volume of the final season is: Steve. He's been steadily built up as this antihero, the former bully who had a massive redemption and became one of the show's most loved characters. However, in these first four episodes he is completely uncharacteristically an asshole: to Dustin (who it must be painfully obvious is going Through A Lot????), to Jonathan, to everyone really. I don't get why the writers have done this unless they're setting him up for a sudden heroic sacrifice in the last episodes.

I see Jonathan and Nancy getting their happy ending, Joyce and Hopper being endgame, and Erica terrorising the neighbourhood for teenage years that will make the Upside Down look like Chuck-E-Cheese's...

Agree with all of that, I liked 8's episode. Also, regarding Will...
like seeing Uma in her daughter once you know, Vecna using Will and taking something from him, of course Will gets something in return... It's obvious, but only once you know


It's been a bloody fine series.

[bots]

there were some obvious bits of AI in that final 20 mins of the 4th episode where characters were replaced with AI. I'm not sure if I like that

It looked very AI generated, and the fact they had to say no AI was used means I wasn't alone in that thought. Whatever processing they used, suspended the realism for me

I agree, bringing 8 back makes that episode seem to come full circle now. I can see her dying though.
