Topic: All Things Netflix! Coming Soon: The Netflix Experience, Live and In Person!??

The trailer for S5 of Stranger Things dropped, and it looks like there is a military perimeter around Hawkins, so I wonder if folks are just not allowed to leave for some reason? Though the damage to the town is still there but it doesn't seem as bad as it was in the finale.

I'll watch it for completion and closure sake, but I really hope they implement some real costs and stakes. Max being in the state she is in may carry some of that price, but they could easily hand-wave it away somehow.

As for song choice, I loved what they did with Kate Bush, but agree they should have picked a different song for the finale. I liked how they used Separate Worlds in the penultimate episode, we should have gotten more songs instead of repeats.

It also felt weird to bring back Dr "Papa" like that. It would have been like Jurassic World 2 bringing back Hammond and pretending he never died. He was gone int he narrative, an bringing him back after a pretty clear death in S1 just felt jolting.
