    Finally entering this thread again after finally catching up at the weekend!

    Not buying Hopper still alive - got to be Murray which the Russians have held captive. After Hopper is (potentially) blown up with the explosion of that gate key Murray and Joyce leg it out of the bunker. After which you only ever see Joyce outside the Starcourt - you never see Bald Eagle again.

    Steve was brilliant this season! But honestly think I'd have just enjoyed this show watching the characters just hanging out :56::57:

    Think Hopper is still alive. Think he might’ve jumped into the Upside Down before it was closed.

    Major cop out from the writers if so.

    Probably the only thing I’ve got a problem with.

    They’re terrified to get rid of any of the main players.

    Not quite finished this series yet but absolutely loved the nod's to Back to the Future in Chapter 5

    the way Joyce smashed the mail box when she sped away from the bad guy akin to Marty fleeing Peabody's farm, and the way Steve and Dustin find that green stuff in the room, exactly like Doc and his plutonium stash, even had the same sound effect.

    Season 4 confirmed.

    Interesting it’s announced the day Netflix also announced the Duffers have signed an exclusive film and series deal with Netflix. Think that this is probably the final season.

    1 episode left. Started this pretty recently, enjoyed the first two season but didn’t really see what the big fuss was about.

    Season 3 however has been top drawer. Absolute class, i think it was because Dustin and Steve got much more in it, they along with Robin were brilliant.

    I actual found so many of the main characters a pain in the *, maybe why I didn’t enjoy 1 & 2 as much.

    Mike, Will, Lucas we’re just wee fannys I thought :56: done my head in.

    Steve, Billy, Dustin, Hopper made the show for me.

    New trailer out.

    I think they should have saved that reveal for the show... but most people probably assumed that already.

    Think the post credit scene confirmed it mate.

    Got a feeling this will be the final season anyway so they’re not to bothered about ‘spoiling’ it.

    Aye, especially with the amount of people who watch Netflix on stuff like tablets, phones, PlayStations and just leave the app as soon as the credits start :giggle1:

    Canny really remember another tv show doing after credit scenes either.

    Everybody knew it was going to happen. Still feel the same way I did at the end of last season. It’s a total cop out, but tbh I’m not too arsed.

    Just wanting the next season now. One of the most enjoyable shows to watch.

    This is class, something I can sit in and enjoy with the kids
    It's got a retro goonies type feel to it, my kids are right into it

    5 episodes into season 4. Been really good so far, albeit I think the length of the episodes is taking the *.

    Definitely feels a lot more mature and creepy this season. Not the first to say it, but I love the Nightmare on Elm Street vibes.

    Yup watched the first 7 episodes a few days back, gotta say I never really noticed the length of the episodes except ep 7 did feel a little longer.

    Watched the first 5 so far. Honestly think I like the newer characters compared to the older ones aside from Dustin.

    That lassie that plays Max will be a superstar after this is done.

    I've never watched this but it's all my granddaughter goes on about and, when she was in my car the other day I had some Who on, she immediately recognised it from the show and said it has loads of "my type of music" in it. So I might just give it a wee watch but I take it it's one of those programs that needs to be watched from the very start
