No exclusive clip and no first 5 minutes! Will watch all in one go!

Similar here. It comes out next week, I can wait. Although it comes out in chunks. Will probably do things as it comes out because it’s only a month before the next batch, but will probably only have time for an episode a day

The hype is real

Took a while but the last episode was worth the long setup....hoping S5 "part 2" ends well...

[Thom]

I forgot they dump them all in one go, or two. Next binge-session planned out!

Binged it all - enjoyed it. That last bit was pretty satisfying and I look forward to the next half of it. While I suspect there will be some twists and turns, I'm hoping we witness a bona fide wombo-combo to end it all.

just finished watching it tonight.

I feel bad for Will. He's had the same stupid haircut his entire life. But hey, now he goes by the name Neo. Good for him.

Yup, during those scenes,

Spoiler

I said to my family, “He’s starting to believe. . .” 😉

Definitely enjoyed the character interaction moments, as well.

I was a little iffy with this season, since it sorta seemed like it was sidelining almost all the main characters, but the last episode felt like it really got the main cast back in action and even gave the new ones something to do.

Spoiler

My lady absolutely cheered for Will finally going on the attack

I'll be glad when this series ends, the long breaks between seasons is lame af.

I wouldn’t have minded as much if the seasons were self contained stories. Having to wait a while makes a rewatch kinda necessary.

Gonna wait 'til all final season eps are out. Been avoiding spoilers like the plague lol.

Is it really necessary to rewatch the last season before starting this final season?

It’s really tough these days to avoid spoilers. Don’t even look at images, because one that seems to be a constant thumbnail is a major spoiler for the last episode of the first half.

we did a complete rewatch of the whole show because it had been so long and I kinda feel like it helps, but if you got a super good memory, then it may not be necessary

I could not bring myself to watch season 5 and removed the show from my watchlist. I feel liberated. This isn't a comment on the quality on the show. It's just been so long and I was ready to move on.

They kinda paid off a tangent they really have brought up since Season 2.

But other than that deep cut, they do give a quick recap of Season 4 to remind you of the main points.

All of them have been self contained, but with a big spoiler hook usually thrown in at the end.  Season 4 could easily have been the end of it with just a slightly different end scene.

Spoiler

Does anyone know if the episode count was cut after they started writing the season?  The whole bit about the one kid getting beat up by the jocks seems to have meant to have been a setup for a subplot but went nowhere.  Even the problem it caused could easily have been explained away without it.

It has been a bit of a wait, but I'm not minding it. For a good show, I'll give it the time it needs, and it looks like it is here. Just finished the first half and I'm loving it! Still with the excitement, the dread and the humor. Except for that one half season here Eleven went off on her own, this show has been pretty solid all the way. Really wish they'd just released them all, but I guess they gotta do what they gotta do, and it ain't no stick going to places it don't belong..
