Just like last time I know it all finished airing over Christmas and New Years, but since those are inconvenient times for some, let's discuss the series finale of Stranger Things.

I didn't see S3 or S4, and I was wondering who this random woman was in the background of every other shot.

I mean she was in season 2. It's just that she was in the weird one off worst rated episode.

Bringing her back was a bold choice... I just don't think it worked.

I saw part of S2. I remember there being several psychic kids at some point but I can't recall anything else, or her specifically.

My fault for not bothering to catch up before watching the latest, of course.

I mean it was a bold choice to feature a character from a disliked backdoor pilot episode. The best thing to do would have been to just let everyone forget about it and move on. The decision to bring her back is odd, but if you've got a good reason then let's do it.

But... It doesn't seem like they did.

Like it's not your fault at all. You saw the previous episode she was in, the one with the psychic kids. I could blame you if that character was mentioned at all in season 3 or 4, but they weren't.

This would be like referencing something Superhero Bob did. Remember that speech he gave Will?

I don't ultimately hate the decision, it was just kinda meh.

/boggle

The sister was introduced in E8 of an 9 Episode season. The dude saw that episode but doesn’t remember her. He then skips the next two seasons and is lost in S5.

YES IT IS FAULT…

Give me a break.

Ummm, if you saw pretty much all of S2, but dont remember it. You then saw none of 3 or 4…. you probably had no idea who Max was, who Henry was, who Vecna was.

How were you not completely lost in S5 and more importantly why did you bother seeing it?

Spouse is a fan, I watched in classic dad mode from a standing position behind the couch. I don't think I'd seen Henry or Vecna before. I saw Max's introduction I think.
