What did I think of it?
This was as perfect an ending to a story as The Lord of the Rings had. I am soooo not kidding.
The final scenes... wow. I was almost in tears. Those nearly came after everything else that preceded it in this very last episode of Stranger Things.
I feel like it's the end of a journey for me. This show, which I first discovered while staying in a hotel in Albuquerque in September of 2016, has been a part of my life ever since then. I became a true believer in this story and its wonderful characters. And now the story is done and... I don't quite know what to do now. I feared this would happen. Stranger Things has been the one thing of pop culture that I've held onto for almost a decades, and now it's ended. That is an enormous void that it's leaving in my time on this earth. It's like a part of my youth peacefully passed away tonight.
Well, like is said at one point in this final episode, there are two paths to take. I am going to choose the one that leads away from the sadness. I am going to choose life. Just as I've always been trying to do.
I think I needed to see this episode. More to the point, I think that I needed this show. What a ride it has been!
One of the greatest endings to a story in the history of anything. I'm going to have to watch it again, after my brain calms down.
