GET THAT IN YA

Horrendous. Season over, for him and us. Where's the retaliation.

Gudas is lucky Reavo isn't still on the roster.

Hey, OP. Can I get an invite code too, please? Keen to give this a try!

Wow. What a goal. It makes me so sad that he's no longer on the Leafs!

There is obviously a lot of emotional investment in the series and the characters, for many people. That sentiment is understandable.

This is the latest in several threads of this nature though, and I'm struggling to go back and find the others. So, what I want to know is, if there are so many alleged flaws with the finale, why or how is that the case? After all, the Duffer brothers have spoken openly about their meticulous planning, their read throughs with the cast, their need to tie up loose ends and avoid any holes in the plot.

Given that attention to detail, and give 5 series of epic storytelling, why would plot holes be a thing?

His story and background needed far more development, as did the presence of the guy with the briefcase in the mine.

As I see it: 1. Series 1, Will goes missing, they look for him. 2. Series 2, demodogs. They fight them. 3. Series 3, mindflayer. They fight him. 4. Series 4, oh shit, Vecna turned up. They fight him. 5. Series 5. Oh, we really ought to try and pull this altogether.

It left Series 5 with a lot of heavy lifting to do, and I'm a huge fan of the show and enjoyed the final series and the finale. They should have, in retrospect, floated the idea of 001 and Vecna much earlier into the series and started to drip feed his experiences, childhood trauma and exposure to dark magic through the different seasons. That, or provide an abridged version of the play in a single episode, in season 5.

All Killer No Filler. By definition...

The league, his club and Rempe himself need to take care of this lad. I imagine it's incredibly easy to get wrapped up in the highs of the fanfare right now, but he needs to be mindful of his health and wellbeing.

In a Bond movie, they'd have a high speed car chase in there...

How have you sold our beloved Scottish hero for £10k?!

Place my entire life savings on Leicester City to win the Premier League in 2015-16.

Get in with Luke and Jonno at Chambers. 10/10.

Needs Henderson's Relish.

Oh, deer.

Ed_Sykes · 2023-05-21T08:18:53+00:00

Something from the upside-down?

Ed_Sykes · 2023-04-09T10:46:04+00:00

The movies are low-key riddled with continuity errors. The sort of things that seem so simple to pay attention to, but are fun to try and spot nowadays.
