What are some things that you hope to see in the finale?
The Librarian and Dr Clark were excellent adds.

Here's a few for me:

- Ted Wheeler
- Dr Paul Reiser - he was captured, but has not made an appearance this season
- the bullies from season one and two - they were so bad/great when Steve broke Jonathan's camera
- the geek from the video store that hired Robin and reluctantly Steve
- Billy, Eddie, and Barb a maybe even Lonnie too
- Russians and how they got the demogorgan, decided to build the machine in season 3, and their version of Bremner and Dr Kay
- adding the Russian guard that helped Hopper escape and the Russian smuggler showing up in Katina with her big bottom, lol
- Mama - is she in a trance and in Vecna's mind?


Also

- who telepathically unlocked the chain on the door in Season 1 since demogorgans can't do that
- who spelled out R U N in Season 1 since those lights were not there when the upside down was created/frozen

- Dustin's mom
- Lucas' parents
- every single jock bully from Season 4 that was going after Eddie
- Eddie back from the dead playing "For Whom The Bell Tolls"
- Eddie's uncle
- the girls in California who were bullying Eleven
- the orderly who was assisting Dr. Brenner perform his experiments
- the new Sheriff and the dopey deputy
- the military guys who were after Eleven in Season 4.
- Argyle
- the Russian guard who helped Hopper escape.
- the Russian smuggler who flew them back to America
- the lady that knocked on the pay phone booth when the Russian guard was calling Joyce and Murray to arrange smuggling Hopper out of prison
- the moms who lounged by the pool with Karen lusting after Billy in Season 3
- Benny (without him getting Eleven to stay in his Diner we'd never have this wacky mixed-up show!)
- an homage to 80's Eddie Murphy movies
- an homage to the Rocky movies
- an homage to Growing Pains
- an homage to The Cosby Show, or at least Pudding Pops
- an homage to New Kids On the Block and/or Menudo
- any 80's homage that hasn't been done yet by the show!

The worst trope this season is the "at the last second someone unexpected saves the day". Can't count how many times it's happened, but it's a clear sign of lazy ass writing. Expecting 3-4 more of these in the last episode. No reason not to.



It takes a special person to achieve a certain level of success, along with vast fortune, and keep operating as the person or artist they always were.

Has there been a Goonies reference on this show (other than riding bikes around and stuff like that)?

Not much I have to add that hasn't been said. Some great stuff, some ok stuff, and some lazy stuff.

Seems the earlier in the show, the style just reminded you of the 80's, rather than some of the more overt fan service. I was born in 82 so I'm not as authoritative as others).

My biggest issue (apart from Will's soliloquy) is the needless expansion of the party as we get closer to the end. We had fantastic characters already, and I would prefer to give them resolution rather than this deus ex machina effect that's been happening with Mr Clark and Vickie.

Stuff I loved:
- Mama Wheeler going off
- Dustin and Steve's vibe is so incredible
- Revealing the Upside Down as not even the real problem

Other crap that I don't see the point of or hope it will get resolved:
- Did Paul Reiser just go back to NYC with early Helen Hunt? I WOULD
- Russians? Bueller? Bueller?
- Hopper and Eleven still doing the teen angst thing. Tiresome at this point


Overall, it's been a great show that was hamstrung by long time lines and fan expectations. I'm excited for the finale, but there's a lot to tie up.

You make a great point. Season 1 was awesome because it felt like I was watching an actual movie from the 80's. Now it feels like a show from 2025 paying fan service to the 80's.

Did I miss where they explained the relationship between Vecna and the Mind Flayer? I recall some discussion in season 4, but all kind of speculation. If they haven't, then they got some major explaining to do in the finale. I recall them saying that Vecna was the Flayer's 5 star General, then no further explanation. Perhaps I missed it.

Eleven's outfit in the first few episodes of this season is Brolin from Goonies.
Holly's telescope with cover that is used to find the cave is from Goonies too

Then don't watch, it's been a part of the show since season 1 in 2016.

Not explained yet. Show characters have speculated that Vecna is the king and Mind Flayer is general, but Internet theories say the opposite.

The wormhole has been discussed since season 1 and I think is a bad ass idea.

It was quick and quiet but Dustin says "Holy Mary mother of God" at one point which is a Goonies quote.

Updated my other post - what's about Mama?

Aren't they going to show her lost in Vecna's mind? She's there right!??
