I understand, but I share similarly on the Turkish forums I'm on. Here, I think there's a copyright issue because it's an American forum. Also, since it's a discussion platform, I'm expected to participate in discussions. I understand, but they'll probably decide I'm not suitable here after a while and remove me. I'm not exactly a rule-abiding person on the forums I'm on, both in terms of writing and sharing. This place has been open for 25 years, and since you won't keep me here for another 25 years, you'll probably delete my account in a year or two anyway. So, I don't think there's any need to argue. By the way, I liked the final episode of the show.
so many theorys about eleven being dead or alive
i wonder what stuff happened during that 1 year and a half during that time jump before the party graduated high school
like how did everyone find out that hopper was alive and when did max start moving again and when did mr wheeler wake up from the coma and did holly see her parents at the hospital and when did hawkins start to rebuild

I’m subtly referring to a tradition in fiction (particularly the kind of fiction ST is sort of adjacent too, and Cold War stuff) whereby certain USAien corporations are vaguely in the old East India model, essentially the tendrils of Empire, and that essentially anywhere with a Coca-Cola vending machine or similar can be considered US territory, particularly when it comes to war.
By virtue of having such things, the Upside Down is US soil. Hoo Rah.
Isn’t the rock gathered as a result of The Philadelphia Experiment? I heard thats part of the stage play.
Apparently the play is a little more vague about that the scientist had than I had assumed from I read before.
But that confuses me because they said the spin-off will explain the origins of the stone, but that it will be have new characters, in a new setting, with a new mythology. But if the stone came from The Abyss, and was part of Brenner's experiments, then wouldn't that mean that the show will pretty much have to deal with Brenner and The Abyss and all of that?

It was a nice moment in concept but it would have played better if we had seen them spend any time in high school this year. The bullies were gone from the narrative by episode 2 and nobody want to class after episode 1. Out of all the problems with this season the biggest one was the show had the characters in action hero mode from episode 1. I did notice the principle, and I think it was done on purpose, kind of looks like Paul Gleason who played the principle in 'The Breakfast Club."
That's true but it did carry over things like Starfleet/Federation, Klingons and The Enterprise. Plus a cameo by Bones. It does seem the one carryover thing might be that weird rock. I do wonder what else that might carryover. Maybe a character cameo. A reference to Hawkins as a town. I personally think the ability to open gateways might be something, even though it won't be to the Upside Down anymore but to other planets.
Or choose to believe both at the same time.
Seriously. That's a pretty silly hill to die on.
He was referring to his own friend group.
If it is dealing the rock, we pretty know that it will have to involve Brenner at some point, since the scientist worked for Brenner, and we can assume he mostly likely got it from what pre-Hawkins Lab facility they were working at in Nevada.
One thing I forgot to mention, is that I was a little disappointed we didn't get an scenes at the end set later in the characters lives. I was kinda hoping maybe we'd get one or two scenes set in the present day showing us what the characters are up to now, what became of their whole lives, and what Hawkins is like in the 2020s.
But I guess maybe wanted to leave things more open in case they decide to do a sequel series checking back in with the characters in 5, 10, or whatever years.
Please remember that many people haven't been able to watch The First Shadow and rather not be spoiled on it. Please spoiler code any comments about plot details from it.
I have no doubt that we will get some kind of sequels going forward, but only with some of the cast members and probably in the form of Netflix movies.
I didn’t even know it had a title xD sorry.
And yet, here you are throwing spoilers around.

I didn’t even know it was a spoiler is my point. If you’ve seen the play can you explain how? (In tags naturally, I’m curious.)

I'm hesitant about this one.
The thing is what do they hope to achieve with it other than banking on the popularity of the main show, what would it add for the character to go on a sidequest so to speak, why does the show needed to be made?
I'm thinking of two examples from the Star Wars universe - the Kenobi and Andor shows.
Kenobi was for the most part completely unnecessary ( my opinion of course) because it didn't add anything new to Star Wars. We can assume Kenobi had a rough time after the Jedi Order fell and the Imperium took over, that's not something groundbreaking. We also knew he and Vader/Anakin can't die so there's no tension in any of their fights and everything else that happens in between is also devoid of any necessary mystery because we ultimately know where it ends. So in the end the entire show was completely pointless.
In contrast there's Andor. We follow a character whom we know dies if we have watched Rogue One ( and any Star Wars fan that watches Star Wars shows has likely seen most, if not the entire, Star Wars catalogue) yet the show is so brilliantly written that we, or at least i, don't mind because we follow a hero's journey to becoming a hero and it is intertwined with a story that actually has something to say. Rogue One in itself is something of an outlier in that regard to begin with as everyone we grew to care for over the course of the movie dies but their deaths have meaning and serve as a catalyst for something bigger, in that the movie itself had something to say ( and i rank that movie directly behind the OG trilogy in terms of quality).
Now obviously i will watch the animated show to see what it's about and i hope the first few episodes convince me fast enough to overcome my hesitance but then again the DB's have proven they can write so i hope they have something good up their sleeves and it turns into Andor rather than Kenobi.
