FIRST TIME WATCHING: Stranger Things S5E7
Happy New Year's Eve!
Another year has come and gone. It seems fitting, with how long we've had to wait for this final season of Stranger Things, that we should have to wait until NEXT YEAR for the finale haha.
As always, thank you for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, happy new year and stay golden!

The bizarre critiques of this episode reminds me of people who complained about kids running around a Russian bunker in season 3 making jokes and the Soviets bumbling around not catching them.... ...this show is trying to emulate tv/movies/media of the 80's. It is NOT trying to be how real life was like in the 80's. No one should be viewing the "coming out" scene through the lens of how a real situation might have been with a real gay kid and and their friends and family in the 80's. It boggles my mind that after 5 season of this show, people are still complaining about a "lack of realism"
The problem with the comnig out scene, it's not believable. That's not how a coming out scene would have happend in the 80'S. His mom, brother and best friend should have been the only person there. Everybody else makes it shitty.
I feel like you can't expect that kind of realism in this show. It also doesn't address racism, and barely even touches upon sexism in the 80s. Also, there are so many "unbelievable" things that happen in this show, and you're worried about the "coming out" scene?!
I'm new to this patreon membership. I don't get it, are we supposed to put this video picture in picture while watching the show? I thought footage of the show would be here as well like on YouTube.
that would be very much illegal to do even though alot of react channels do that. so yeah you gotta have ur own copy of the show/movie
I honestly see nothing wrong with this episode. My only suggestion would've been release it with the finale instead of volume 2. Let episode 6 resolve with Max waking up to Lucas, but leave Holly's awakening in this one. There's so much exposition and setup for the finale in this episode that I get why it landed so soft. The coming out scene was beautiful! They were in a waiting period, so there was no great sense of urgency. Will needed to do it then so he could face Vecna without doubt or fear. I'm glad he just ripped the band-aid off so to speak and talked to everyone at once instead of individually. I just watched the finale in a theater and holy cow it was epic!! Can't wait to see your reaction next week!
let's bfrfr...Sadie Sink is the best acting in every episode
Re-watching this with you just after finishing the final episode with my gf and 2 oldest kids is just the best way to start the new year tbh! There's been a very vocal bunch of people complaining about this episode online but it was a great episode and I can't wait to re-watch the final with you! They absolutely nailed it, it's wonderful!!!
Rewatching this with you before going into the finale Good luck with the surgery, girl! 🫶🏼
Even though I literally knew it was coming bc id seen on twitter, I still cried at the coming out scene without even expecting too smh It was Robin mostly honestly, that proud smile from the background bc she knows what he’s going through - took me out Frustrated with how they’re treating El’s powers tho… it’s the penultimate episode and she’s straining lifting a metal plate and a truck? She should be tossing that stuff with a neck flick by now mannn
the coming out scene was dumb
Where Holly wakes up, Not Hawkins for sure. Looks like the place they showed us in Season 4 where El sent Henry.
Hope that your surgery goes great!! Good luck and happy holidays.
Hope surgery goes well and you come back in a better, more comfortable state. Can’t wait for your take on the finale.
Happy New Year Nat! Looking forward to catching back up with you after your break, and I hope everything goes well with the surgery!
Happy New Year's Eve Nat. Excited to see what's happening in today's episode 😊 Really enjoyed your reaction to this one. I just love the vibe of this series. It just reminds me of all the classic horror / sci-fi movies I watched on VHS back in the day. Even the music just nails the tone. I think the finale is a feature length episode so we should be in for something epic. Look forward to watching it with you next week 💛
