And they would be wrong. Game of thrones pre season 8 but that’s not the case. You’re wrong. Period

Cool, 65% audience score as well.

The problem with your theory is that a lot of actual human beings are being very specific about why they think it sucks.

I mean I can still throw in a few more to make it more than 20.

Well my side has it the most watched tv show of all time.

So I say you’re once again on the losing side. Sorry

Game thrones got a 4 on its series finale.
And its final seasons episode average was a whopping 6.4. An all time low. I watched the final season live so I can attest how bad it was.
That’s worse than Joey (friends reboot)



Cool. The audience rated episode 1-6 8.7 that’s fantastic
Looks like episode 7 has almost 20k more votes for that episode than 5 and 6 which makes no sense seeing as you’d rate or watch episode 5 or 6 before 7. Weird. So yall made almost 20k more votes 1 out of 10 stars on a later episode randomly with the woke/homo stuff. Very Very suspicious


I rated lost sister a 5 out of 10. The only bad episode of stranger things. I will bet my mortgage episode 7 is not a 1 out of 10. Will watch Monday night.

Link?

Yeah, it's not even Netflix's most watched show of all time. Wednesday is.

But of course none of that means the second half of S5 is good. It's not. But hey, at least they got to smear their messages across the landscape one last time.

I didn’t care about the gay will stuff initially because whatever

But it was dumb to have him do his whole revelation thing, tap into his powers, but then be forced to have this whole long coming out scene to prevent vecna from telling them you’re gay. You’re trying way too hard.

The whole demodogs in the hospital scenes were laughable. They knew exactly where Max was, ate some guards but by passed Robin because "they aren't here for us". They just ate some random people.

Lucas then Chuck Noriss kicks one. They still know where Max is but for some reason decide to just creep slowly while music is playing.

Also is Ted Wheeler dead? Or out working on his short game again?

Could be explained that the demodogs only attacked the military guys because they were shooting at them. The varying hit damage they take is hard to read, so I guess they chose to engage rather than take a chance at being more than slightly wounded.

But I had to do a double take when Lucas just kiced a charging 200lb (?) multidimensional carnivore 180 degrees back the way it was coming, as it was in full sprint mode. For a second I didn't even see him kicking and assumed El was back and saved them telekinetic like. Nope! Kid needed to save his gf so that one time super human power got activated.

The gays and liberals out there in social media world are losing their shite when anyone criticizes this.

"But Muh Vecna feeds on fear and was going to use it against him!"

WHAT?

In all the seasons so far, Vecna has never tattled on anyone. Was he going to have a sit down with all the kids and tell them that Will is gay, negating his new powers?

No one has explained how having someone else reveal his gayness, takes the powers away.

I'm sorry, I looked the other way so far, but that scene was cringe and goes right along with Mrs Potato Head saying "I'm going to be a dad".

I know some fairly progressive folks and don’t know anyone who is defending it. They’re saying it’s poorly written and was shoehorned in there.

To be fair, I have seen a few questioning why it needed to be done twice. Most feel he already had a reveal and coming out.

The other thing I've seen a few laugh about is that Robin, who is still hiding in the closet, is the one that kept pushing him to come out.

Wth?

This was not done in the 80s. No gay person their age in the 80s would have a coming out. They were scared to tell anyone and if there was a situation where they told someone it was more like what happened between Robin and Steve in the bathroom.

This seems like the actor and Netflix putting so much pressure on the Duffers that they had to write it into the story. It shows because this entire season the dialogue and writing has been horrible.

If you were going to do it then the initial was fine…but circling back to it because vecna is like “nah son I need you to update your facebook status as gay or I’m going to tell your friends and they may judge you or think life will be hard for you as a gay!!!”

“OMG MY POWERS ARE GONE!!”

Just extremely dumb

And yes Lucas kicking a demo dog and it being stunned is retarded. That could have easily been avoided with just an elevator door close at the perfect time, even that would have been better

Is this true? She told Steve she was gay. Plus, she has a longstanding relationship with the nurse girl. I figured everyone knew.

Good question. She's only come out to one person on screen and that's Steve. We don't know if she came out to the rest. She's for sure keeping it a secret from everyone outside the group.

No, her and Candy striper were on the QT, under wraps, as it were, which is why it was such a big deal when Will peeked in on them through the open door.

Just wanted to say after Will’s little sit down confession I beat the shite out of him after the camera’s were off. We have no time for this BS.
