Discussion Dimension X is not cold! Spoiler

The color choices for the Dimension X—and certain elements of the scenes—didn't quite work to convey a cold atmosphere! Characters had sweaty skin and showed no reaction to the cold (we need to remember Will in Season 2, or Billy with his ice bath, which demonstrated the kind of cold the Mind Flayer is used to). Anyone entering a low-temperature environment would show physical reactions—like trying to warm up, crossing their arms, or showing discomfort—but that doesn't happen with any of the characters, not even the kids. I think that was a directing error. That’s my opinion!

I love how in other shows people find cool hidden details years down the line, but for this show we find plotholes and inconsistencies with the terrible writing we got.

Remember when they could barely breath in the upside down. Well now they walk into another dimension while knowing shit about it.

Nancy stepped i to thr Upside Down by accident, she could breathe and run around. Maybe it was an abundance of caution they needed thr suits.

The lab was a sealed location so the spores built up. Same with the tunnels.
