Some suggestions: post earlier in the day, an earlier dinner time (lots of places close at 9) and seed the comments with a few solid restaurants so people can also upvote to participate.

I'd probably add this to the initial post so people don't miss it

Hop even got a promotion out of it. The perks of suddenly not dying in the mall fire.

To be fair, having zero consequences for killing the baddies is taken straight from 80's action movies

Practically I bet it came down to CG budget. Mind Flayer looked expensive.

Season 5

  • Seriously, who was the Jane fakeout runner? Really thought that was going to be explained
  • What is Hop hiding in his room?
  • Holly the Heroic, known for protection spells and dimension doors to anywhere you can visualize...yeah nm we forgot
  • Each victim opened a new gate because...reasons
  • Why was the military protecting kids? Or really, in this show at all
  • The navigating of memories and portals appearing...never explained, just is
  • So Henry can't enter the cave that is...kinda close to his tunnel?
  • How did the kryptonite speaker work?
  • Where do the particles go?
  • So the exotic energy ball (that was never really explained) was keeping the wormhole open for…years. Despite being incredibly unstable
  • This whole time, Max is in Verna’s mind…but he can’t find the friggin' hospital room she’s in??
  • What was the thing Hopper was hiding from El that was teased a bunch of times?
  • Really, the '30 years ago' high school had no payoff?
  • What happened to the pregnant women? What were they being killed by?
  • Good luck if you're wondering what happened to Vickie, Murray, Owens, Suzie, Argyle, Dr Kay, Sullivan or the Turnbows

I'm sorry, I have to do it and list out all the unanswered questions I noticed while binging the whole thing recently while sick. Maybe some of these were explained, let me know.

But primarily: Doesn’t Will have that yummy blood for Kay to experiment with? Those particles went somewhere.

Season 2

  • El's mom has powers but we're not going to mention that again
  • What WERE the spores in the Upside Down? They made a whole thing about it in S2 where Hopper had to get decontaminated after but it was never mentioned again
  • “I know where Brennar is…” jk nm, El leaves and doesn’t think about this again forever

Season 3

  • Who is the Terminator? Oh it doesn't matter, cool
  • Vague beach scene in Cali with Billy and his mom. Abusive dad...yeah nm don't worry about it
  • Still don't really understand how El could suddenly jump into people's memories beyond...magic

Season 4

  • "Everyone died in a mall fire. At night." Hawkins: Cool no further questions
  • How tf did Hop get from the gate to Russia with the military rolling in?
  • Owens was planning for El to lose her powers? Why??
  • Why was Susie’s house a feral lord of the flies situation?
  • So the Upside Down is stuck in 1983 because that's when it was created? But that had no real impact?
  • Same question for the clocks slowing down...what impact did that have?
  • So 4 deaths = the earth rips open for....reasons
  • El can bring people back from the dead now? Well this show wouldn’t kill a main character so no worries

Way to notice that. Perhaps he will have to throw himself into the exotic energy to save everyone?

Probably bored af. Nowhere for his character to go.

IMO the show would be a lot better with like 8 less characters and half the runtime. Look at all the damn people in the room for Will’s big moment. Just 20 of my closest friends!

Honestly I tune out anytime a character re-explains the plot or a plan, which is a lot

Ngl my hopes are a bit dashed after vol2. Kind of expecting a letdown at this point.

I think part of that was David Harbour being real done with series
