Summary

That was a metalhead finale we can cheer for. It came down to the wire and Eleven’s arms were extending while she screamed, of course. BUT the Duffer Brothers delivered a gut punch that made us remember why we love this show. While Jim is condemning pineapple pizza to The Upside Down, A.Ron is happy to report that this episode delivers in stakes, pacing, and surprises. Got feedback? Send us a message at [email protected].

And the Duffer Brothers, I felt like really threaded the needle between my expectations of the

stakes and the actual stakes and the stakes they delivered in a way that I, you know, I

want to say admired, grudgingly admired, like, okay, you got one over on me.
