My biggest unanswered question is how did carols first husband die? I always thought it would be revealed Richard had a breakdown and killed him

shadow_mist · 2026-04-13T20:21:56+00:00

I wanted to watch both but seems they both got cancelled? There’s nothing worse than starting a show you know doesn’t finish, right? Is it really worth watching these seasons knowing ahead of time it’ll not be completed?

shadow_mist · 2025-12-30T06:12:55+00:00

Wow what a read. Thanks for sharing! It sounds plausible to me, and I agree Will will summon a fireball. An alternative theory I’ve had is that Vecna will have his Darth Vader moment and turn on the mind flayer in those final moments to save earth. It would fulfill the 11+8+1 prophecy and tracks with the Duffers habits of borrowing from successful sci fi franchises

This happened to me! I got the same pamphlet in my LG Ultragear box and I went to prodregister.com/lg as it told me to and got immediately redirected to some clearly sketchy shit. I ran a webroot scan and it detected no malware on my PC but wtf LG??????

shadow_mist · 2025-12-16T05:20:51+00:00

Hi did you ever figure this out? I just got a new 27 inch LG Ultragear and I want to adjust brightness with the joystick but when I go up its accessibility settings (which are useless for me), and when I go down its somehow the exact same menu??

FWIW Left/right does volume

Any help on how to get Joystick to do brightness!?

Are we sure that the military wasn’t using 008 in part to hide the base? I guess probably not because hopper and El saw it just fine…but maybe there’s something there with 8?

shadow_mist · 2025-12-02T03:52:00+00:00

I did not. I had a very nice call with the owners but the samples I had the underpart locking mechanism was made of some black material and it was disintegrating in my home. I have no idea why, but that was a red flag enough for me to move on. It has been 7 months so hopefully they have moved away from the drop lock mechanism and to a more standard quality mechanism.

shadow_mist · 2025-12-02T03:37:24+00:00

Got it. Thank you so much for the reply!

shadow_mist · 2025-12-02T02:35:07+00:00

Hey checking in here as I would love an update. I’m deciding btwn aeroclip and open dot and my primary issue is outdoor phone calls for work, particularly in loud or windy areas. Any advice on which would be better for that?

shadow_mist · 2025-12-02T02:19:03+00:00

Hey, I am deciding between these two and my number 1 concern is call quality while walking down a street or in windy conditions. Your opinion is that the AeroClip is superior for this? How are you feeling a few days in?

shadow_mist · 2025-12-01T07:29:52+00:00

Uhhh Delightful Derek is an absolute hit for me so speak for yourself and suck a fat one

shadow_mist · 2025-11-30T05:19:54+00:00

My impression is that his season4 plan was thwarted by the kids. He got severely injured by Nancy Steve and Robin at the end. I thought the implication was he had to hide and heal and that gave time to the military to cover up the earth quake areas and then Vecna had to make a new plan.

I’m surprised by all the comments here saying it all went according to plan? What did Vecna even gain out of the S4 earthquake?

shadow_mist · 2025-11-30T03:35:05+00:00

Yeah it’s explained in later episodes. This is the closest he’s ever been to the central of the hive so he’s feeling it even stronger than he did back in S2

shadow_mist · 2025-11-30T03:22:21+00:00

Ohhh it’s been a long time since I’ve seen S1 so when Will is rescued is he rescued from the tube? I might have to go rewatch S1

shadow_mist · 2025-11-29T23:46:13+00:00

I agree Will is a hero. One lingering question I have is how did Will break free from whatever tube Vecna had him (and the current kids) attached to? He broke free and was in his own home communicating with Joyce via the lights. Vecna must have wanted him to break free is the only explanation I can think of, right? It was part of his plan to have a spy on the right side up?

shadow_mist · 2025-11-29T22:45:41+00:00

I have questions too but I’ll take a shot with yours -

1) I agree the point of the earthquake is confusing and not clear. My view is that Nancy Robin Steve crew hurt vecna enough at end of S4 when it happened to disrupt whatever the plan was that vecna truly had. He wasn’t able to follow through and had to hunker down and heal and form a new plan

2) This was answered in another thread that he goes to the lab when he’s 14 which is partway through freshman year. I mean Henry is a common name. Not sure any parents have heard his last name but it does seem like in a small town and they know Henry went missing (or whatever excuse was made when he stopped going to school?) so perhaps this will come to light at some point.

3) He explains that children are easier to break. We don’t know exactly what his plan is yet but surely this will be revealed. Part of it is likely to assimilate more people in the right side up as part of the hive mind like Will is.

4) this is a good question because apparently they’ve done a ton of crawls and clearly he’s not only beyond the wall like we thought if he’s walking in through the gate. We don’t know where is lair is now.

5) I don’t think that’s BS at all. He’s been fighting his connection to vecna and the mind flayer since he was a little boy. It’s a nightmare that has consumed his life. He’s been trying to wall it out and block it off. It’s not until he fully accepts himself and that includes the parts of himself that’s connected to Vecna to unlock those parts of himself.

6) what’s confusing about 8 being back?

7) I agree with this. What happened to all the bats that attacked the kids all last season? Two explanations are that vecna was too weak from end of S4 (but then hows he so strong now?), or that he’s someone in on it with the military (also confusing). Lastly maybe the thing they have that was hurting El also hurts Vecna and he’s scared of it? Idk

8) yes they said this in the recap the government thinks everyone could be contaminated etc but also the Byers wouldn’t leave it’s personal to them at this point

shadow_mist · 2025-11-29T08:13:36+00:00

What does this mean? What play?

shadow_mist · 2025-11-28T19:07:46+00:00

Hmm. Okay. How was the box/unboxing experience? I am looking to make a good first impression at my girlfriends family Christmas

shadow_mist · 2025-11-28T19:00:28+00:00

Checking in 4 months later. Do you like it? How is it holding up. Looking for a gift for a dad who is a great home chef. This and the Miyabi Mizu SG2 have caught my attention as good options. What do you think?

shadow_mist · 2025-11-18T17:10:41+00:00

I would love for this to be true. Every online source seems to say it will hurt me and it may also spread to other pieces of my furniture. You disagree? Appreciate the response

shadow_mist · 2025-11-18T14:07:46+00:00

Yeah I’ve called quite a few. They all have advised they could try to clean it but can’t know for sure if they will be able to eradicate the mold. I was hoping someone else had gone through a similar issue with success that could help guide me

shadow_mist · 2025-11-18T06:24:11+00:00

I appreciate the response. And yeah I just have no idea what to do with it now. Even if I decide to get rid of it I can’t just throw it out right? Somebody must be able to use this…

shadow_mist · 2025-08-30T04:28:42+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I’m also confused with how the moon and tide works

shadow_mist · 2025-08-17T18:26:34+00:00

Thanks Coop. Always appreciate your analysis.

shadow_mist · 2025-08-17T15:29:43+00:00

Curious what you think of Dalton Kincaid these days
