Stranger Things Season 4 Chapter 9 Review

  1. I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for this.
  2. This episode is the length of a movie. I’m afraid.
  3. Yuri, damnit.
  4. Time for some sexual tension before everyone dies.
  5. Joyce in that shirt takes away from the seriousness of the moment.
  6. The moment is going to be spoiled, isn’t it?
  7. Oh, the show let them have it.
  8. There’s the cockblock.
  9. Crap, Dustin’s in the outfit that the trailer showed him screaming in. Someone’s dying, I just know it. He’s going with Eddie, so I’m thinking it’s Eddie.
  10. Nice flip, Steve.
  11. Eddie is going to be the hero for sure.
  12. Time for El to learn to teleport.
  13. Ah, piggyback. There’s the title.
  14. What does Argyle have in mind?
  15. Oh, they have to be quiet so he doesn’t sense them in the house.
  16. I love that Erica is just part of the gang now.
  17. Oh, random dude. Nope. Just keep walking.
  18. I honestly couldn’t care less about the Jason subplot.
  19. Damnit, random dude, why did you have to talk?
  20. Did they just leave Yuri out there?
  21. Time to reverse prison break.
  22. Why would a Surfer Boy Pizza have 600 pounds of salt?
  23. This is an alternate Argyle, but not really alternate. Just different hair.
  24. That is an obnoxious amount of salt for a pizza place.
  25. Why is Argyle making a pizza?
  26. Here comes the most random moment from the trailer. I can’t wait.
  27. A super confident idiot. That is honestly the perfect description of Steve.
  28. Aw, his dream had Nancy.
  29. Oh yeah. The demogorgon is still at large. This should go well.
  30. The peanut butter smuggler is such a great name.
  31. For a second, I thought her cassette player had died and was about to panic.
  32. Okay, this is really cute.
  33. Lucas shooting his shot.
  34. Oh my god, that was so adorable. I’m so scared something is going to happen to Max or Lucas now. Game of Thrones logic. When someone talks about the future, they die.
  35. This show is ruining grandfather clocks and lanterns for me.
  36. And there goes the moment. Thanks Argyle.
  37. Time for the brother to brother talk.
  38. Crap, now I think Jonathan’s going to die.
  39. Aw, come on Will. You can tell him.
  40. The show is beating around the bush so much with this. Just say it. Jeez.
  41. Vecna isn’t taking the bait. He’s a psychopath, but not stupid.
  42. You really can’t blame Max for thinking that. He really messed up her life and tormented her.
  43. Max, baby no. She has depression and was suicidal. Maybe not now, but at some point, she did.
  44. That has to be Vecna, right?
  45. Yep, there he is.
  46. ROCK TIME
  47. FLY LITTLE DEMON BATS
  48. Can Vecna just take Jason?
  49. Jason is really tackling Erica like that? I would like to file a complaint with HR.
  50. I knew her happy memory was going to be the dance.
  51. Eddie and Dustin jumping around like little girls is precious.
  52. Oh, all the specimens got out too. That’s just fine and dandy.
  53. The guns broke the tanks and the demogorgons escaped.
  54. That is way too many vines.
  55. Baby Max was just as savage as older Max.
  56. Memory-ception?
  57. Okay, that got me.
  58. What did those poor balloons do to you, Vecna?
  59. Can Max hop into another happy memory?
  60. You are really threatening a girl like that? Ugh.
  61. Please, Vecna, take Jason.
  62. The fact that Jason pulled a gun on Lucas just hurts.
  63. Jason, you are not authorized to make a citizen’s arrest. Just back off, man.
  64. Joyce is going to flashback to Bob’s death, isn’t she?
  65. Yep, called it.
  66. I’m just afraid everyone is going to die.
  67. Yes, they can. There’s your answer Dustin.
  68. NO ROBIN!
  69. Oh, crap. Um, help?
  70. These little demon bats need to chill out.
  71. Oh god, Eddie. Please don’t die.
  72. Eddie is being the hero and I’m not ready for this.
  73. Nope, not time. I would like a raincheck on that, Vecna.
  74. Yes, Erica. Beat his ass!
  75. HE BROKE THE TAPE DECK
  76. I HATE JASON
  77. Lucas, start singing the song.
  78. Where is El? We need her asap.
  79. THANK GOD
  80. Nosebleed count: 20
  81. Oh crap, Dustin broke a bone.
  82. Eddie, I swear, keep running.
  83. Jason is really going after anyone he wants.
  84. What an explanation.
  85. Nope. Didn’t need that neck cracking noise.
  86. Nosebleed count: 21
  87. Eddie, this is badass, but also I’m terrified for you.
  88. That was a nice try Max.
  89. El, you need to really tap into those powers of yours.
  90. Oh, he’s turning human again?
  91. Or not?
  92. He still wants to use Max when he has El. He is weirdly obsessed with Max.
  93. El, I think Vecna is also a monster.
  94. Vecna needs to cut his fingernails.
  95. Vecna’s just an explorer. That’s all.
  96. So, does Vecna control the mind flayer, or does the mind flayer control him?
  97. I think he controls the mind flayer, but why would it allow him to control it in the first place?
  98. DID EDDIE JUST GET STABBED IN THE NECK?
  99. Jason is strangling Lucas like the psychopath he is.
  100. Finally, Mike says it. About damn time.
  101. I was wondering if Mike would actually do anything during this battle.
  102. Oh, El is controlling the vines.
  103. Oh, not the bones breaking.
  104. Yes Joyce!
  105. FLAME THEIR ASSES MURRAY
  106. Is Eddie alive?
  107. Oh, the demogrogon is still alive.
  108. Oh, come on. With all that fire. The sword should be melted at least a little.
  109. Nosebleed count: 22
  110. It’s like Vecna’s talking about the final season coming, or something like that.
  111. We haven’t seen Eddie and Dustin. I feel like Eddie didn’t make it.
  112. Burn baby, burn.
  113. SHOOT HIS HEAD
  114. How is Vecna still standing? Dude’s on fire and been shot multiple times.
  115. There we go. Is Vecna really dead now?
  116. He’s gone. Dude is alive for sure.
  117. Yeah, Eddie’s not making it.
  118. Damnit, I didn’t need to cry during this.
  119. Eddie never signed up for this, and paid the ultimate sacrifice. He died a hero.
  120. Now Max is potentially not making it. We don’t need two deaths right now.
  121. DAMNIT
  122. MAX DESERVED TO LIVE
  123. It’s all Jason’s fault. If he hadn’t acted like an idiot and gone after Lucas, Lucas would have had time to use the song to save Max.
  124. NOT THE DAMN CLOCK AGAIN
  125. The gates are opening because Max died.
  126. Oh, Jason just got wrecked. I’m not mad about that.
  127. So, everything will be unleashed in Hawkins anyway.
  128. This doesn’t look good. How are they supposed to stop this?
  129. Can El save Max somehow?
  130. LET’S GO EL
  131. SAVE MAX
  132. If Max lives, does that mean the gates close?
  133. The power of friendship compels you!
  134. TWO DAYS LATER?
  135. Everyone is moving out of Hawkins. I would too.
  136. Um, Hawkins is on fire.
  137. Damn, but the monsters didn’t come through. So, Max is alive?
  138. The news is still claiming Hellfire was a cult. Lovely.
  139. The Munson murders. I hate it.
  140. We finally see Dustin without the hat.
  141. Poor Steve.
  142. MAX IS ALIVE
  143. Is she in a coma?
  144. Okay, she is alive. Just very injured and in a coma.
  145. Come on Max, please wake up.
  146. Oh, Dustin’s leg is still injured. Did he get that checked out?
  147. Vickie is just as awkward as Robin.
  148. Oh, Vickie needed to get that off her chest.
  149. Sounds like Robin. They will make a cute couple.
  150. I love Steve watching their interaction and just smiling.
  151. NOT EDDIE’S UNCLE
  152. God, that hurts.
  153. I don’t need Dustin crying. That just breaks my heart.
  154. He’s a hero.
  155. I’m not crying. You’re crying.
  156. What is Argyle doing?
  157. Of course, he would be gathering mushrooms.
  158. Jonathan, bud, why are you still lying?
  159. Vecna is totally alive.
  160. Yep, Will confirmed it.
  161. Season five will have El fighting him again.
  162. So, El can’t find Max in there. That could be a problem.
  163. Dr. Owens perhaps?
  164. FATHER AND DAUGHTER REUNION
  165. NOT THE THREE INCHES
  166. Now they match with their shaved heads.
  167. Happy tears now.
  168. Bitchin’
  169. Oh yeah. Joyce said she had to go to a conference.
  170. Really Mike? You shrunk.
  171. And here’s our teaser for the next season. Vecna is still out there, plotting.
  172. Dustin really needs a cane or crutches.
  173. So, the gates are open? Sort of?
  174. Wait, was Will having a nosebleed too?
  175. Vecna, i would like to complain about what you’re doing to the environment.
