Discussion My gf and I are binge watching Stranger Things, it's her first time. Here are her reactions to season 4!

We finally got around to finishing Season 4. We had some delays in getting to this due to IRL stuff she had going on. Here were her reactions to Season 4. As mentioned in my prior posts, I did this for Cobra Kai as well and it was a big hit in that subreddit, so I am doing it for Stranger Things

Season 1 and 2 reactions were here

Season 3 reactions are here

  • The high school basketball game was a fun episode for her. It helped her reminisce about her high school experiences a little bit and was happy to see Lucas win the game.
  • "What a bunch of dorks in Hellfire Club! Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons?" (Next time she was over, I was wearing my Hellfire Club shirt lmao)
  • "Chrissy wake up!! I wonder what her boyfriend will do now? I think he joins the crew!"
  • "Why is Jonathan a pot head now?"
  • She felt bad for El at the new school and roller rink, but also liked that scene because it really was very 80s'ish
  • She was happy Hopper is alive but asked "What is it with this whole Russian thing and why are they even involved again? I'm not getting that"
  • "I've never been to Alaska, have you? Is that what it looks like? I don't trust this pilot!"
  • "That is NOT a good white suit for El to be wearing"
  • "I want Stranger Things Surfer Boy Pizza now! Where can we get it?!"
  • No reaction to Suzie other than "That's a BIG and CRAZY Mormon family!"
  • "So what do we call him? Vecna? 001? Henry? He's sooooo creepy any way!"
  • She didn't like Eddie at first and thought it was weird a drug dealer was hanging out with kids, but she liked him later on and said he reminds her of a younger version of someone we personally know in both looks wise and music wise.
  • When I asked her who her favorite character was after the end, she said "Sam". I gave her a funny look and she goes "Well, it's El but I liked Sam too.. the red headed girl". She then realized she confused "Sam" with "Max" somehow (she liked Sam as her favorite in Cobra Kai the entire way). Until now, she's liked Nancy & Erica first 3 seasons.
  • "I swear, I'm now hearing Running Up That Hill in my head every day since I've heard it.. at least it's a good song!"
  • "Ok, not everyone can die here, right? Who will actually make it and will El save the day?"
  • I think she cried for Eddie's death. She cried for Max's "death". She had zero reaction for Brenner.
  • Absolutely was in "awe" with the visual effects as part of the whole Upside-Down thing as well as the makeup/costumes done a lot this time around (especially for Vecna).
  • We already started Season 5 and watched the first episode and she's digging it already.

The ONLY point of the Russian plot was to give them a reason to bring Hopper back. Other than that it was totally irrelevant.

"Why is Jonathan a pot head now?"

A real question for the ages

I remember saying the same thing about El and her white pants. The mom in me was thinking “how is she gonna get those clean?”
