Immediately, my vision sharpened: Are they.gonna bone? Joyce approaches a shirtless Hopper and expresses dismay at his scarred chest.
While Yuri hugs the buttocks/windshield of his helicopter named Katinka, Joyce and Hopper pull out sleeping bags and change into Hulk Hogan T-shirts. The finale opens with our Russian crew-Hopper, Joyce, Murray, Yuri, and the One Dude Whose Name I Keep Forgetting (right, Dmitri!)-still landlocked in Sovietville. Like Max, perhaps we aren’t yet ready to die.įirst, we’ve got a lot of action to parse through. That dose of Marvel Syndrome might aggravate some viewers-even this writer admits to an eye-roll before the credits-but, still, there’s something undeniably magnetic about knowing the end remains nigh.
#Straner things crack how to#
Stranger Things doesn’t know how to do restraint! There’s too much money, too much ego on the line!! Nevertheless, it’s true: Episode 9, “Piggyback,” does more to set up the next, final final battle than to truly resolve the one its season hinged upon. I know, I know-that’s a ridiculous thing to say about a finale episode the length of a feature film. (Whether for the characters or the series itself remained arguable.) And given Gaten Matarazzo’s winking tease for Teen Voguethis week, in which the actor hinted at multiple deaths in the Stranger Things season 4 finale, I fully expected to be writing this review through my tears.īut the finale is, inconceivably, an exercise in restraint. Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things season 4.Īre you, too, surprised we made it out like this? I’ll give the Stranger Things marketing machine its due: After weeks of teasers, trailers, interviews, theories, viral TikToks, and viral TikTok songs, it seemed the Netflix thriller might finally have reached its apex, and that the only thing waiting on the downhill slide could be.well, death.
