I am apparently really bad at formatting on the iPad. My other prediction is that Mike and Nancy’s mom gets clued in.

It isn’t based on the show, just that I have seen lots of interviews with her. I am trying spoiler font, but no guarantees,

I’m really annoyed that Billy is remembered as a hero and Eddie as a murderer by the town. And I don’t think I understand what the current situation actually is. Killing Max created the 4th gate but 11 brought Max back to life? I guess? But the gate’s already created or no? Hawkins is not destroyed but people are fleeing. So are we still mid apocalypse or post or will the Mind Flayer, I suppose, have to try something else?

Interesting on the distressed wardrobe, Sophia!

Yes! Thank you for that.

As I'm still hung up on the whole stories from WWII and this show thing [link] I'll just say that

we have seen the beginning of a ghetto uprising (not the Warsaw one, though), and I am looking forward to season five to tell me which ghettos they're picking up stories from. That is my don't-look-at-me-like-that-they-started-with-shooting-in-that-location-in-Vilnius prediction.

(Yeah, I really wish I'd never read that article and ST4 would just be ST4. But I did. Enjoyed the season, though! Great acting).

Wow, Shir. that puts things in a new light.

My remaining questions are about Chrissy and her boyfreind. and how that was unresolved.

-t, because Max actually died, the fourth gate was opened. They had Lucas say "her heart stopped".

Wow, Shir. that puts things in a new light.

For the record,

I don't think that the big bad of ST is Nazism in any way. Or that it is about WWII. Or at least, I don't read it like this. But the resistance and fight against the upside down and Vecna? Some of it is way too similar to, well, actual WWII history. I like it that I can find parallels in some stories but on a whole, it doesn't make sense in terms of narrative and the greater story here.

So I wonder why the fight here is so damn similar to actual history of a very different fight, or if I'm reading too much into it because of my work.

deleted as I accidentally spoiled trying to read spoiler font on an iPad.

Not to interrupt the Stranger Things discussion, but -- we finished S3 of Umbrella Academy yesterday, and Tim and I have spent most of our waking hours in the past day speculating on all kinds of cracked-out time-travel (or, I guess, universe-resetting) paradox shit, as well as imagining how S4 (if we get S4) could go. I *desperately* want to see Five forced to go to high school because of his physical age. It would be comedy gold. And I'm wondering if Lila is still pregnant in the reset universe. And if she is, I kind of want her to give birth to a tiny floating cube.

And also: Reginald can, as always, die in all the fires. He is the absolute worst, in any timeline.

That’s what I thought, Dana, but Hawkins seems more post disaster than current End of the World so I feel like I don’t know what is happening.

Umbrella Academy: Lila better be pregnant after all that work getting everyone (her, Diego, me) on board with the idea! I don’t know if I’m down for baby floating cube.

I am really curious if Five will start aging normally now. It seems like a natural outcome but who knows? And what will that be like? Is there still a Commission and did he still found it somehow?

I assume Luther is going to go find Sloane, and are the other Sparrows out there? What is Christopher like in this universe?

Refusing to consider the possibility of not getting season 4

I think there's going to be another season of Umbrella Academy. "Netflix Top 10: ‘Umbrella Academy’ Season 3 Usurps ‘Stranger Things 4’ With 125 Million Hours Watched": [link]

Heh. I just realized that Gerard Way has probably made much more money off Umbrella Academy than he did with My Chemical Romance and MCR already made him a millionaire.
