The lab is in a stone bunker in a very cold place, probably Siberia. The Comrade-General exits the building to the sound of militaristic choral music. Maybe she wants to be romanced a little, instead of treated like a monster or an object or a sure thing. Maybe the Upside Down would prefer a female scientist, General. The Comrade-General has his super strong bodyguard, Grigori, kill the older scientist with his bare hands to show his displeasure, and tells the other, younger, cuter scientist, Dr Alexei, that he has one year to get the job done. Oh, this is the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. In Russian, the older scientist insists they’re making progress. Maybe he should have supervised more closely to begin with. But everyone still uses male pronouns.įaux General Hammond comes downstairs to examine the now fully closed wall. Told you the Upside Down monster was female. The opening closes, destroying their device in the process and barbecuing their guys to make sure they get the message that no means no. This girl turns them down, too, since their advances are clearly painful. Just how many girls said no to the Duffer Brothers in high school, anyway? Maturity is a frightening thing in a woman. It gets even scarier when long, skinny tentacles crawl out of either side of the opening. The device keeps shooting, as the wall turns red and fiery. Personally, I don’t think the device is big or mobile enough to get the job done, especially given the performance anxiety we just witnessed. When the camera gets to the bottom, a bluish white energy beam shoots out of it at an underground wall. He’s not used to wielding that much power in his hands, even though the key itself is small.īursts of lightning come out of the device on the other side of the glass, because what could be more powerful than the weapon of Zeus, king of the gods? As the camera pans down, we see that the lightning comes from a long, round mechanical device with spinning parts. The older scientist is drenched in sweat, so we know it’s scary. Two scientists each put their probably-not-Cesium 137 into a slot… Oh wait, it’s a set of 2 matching keys that have to be turned simultaneously, like the ones that fire nuclear missiles. I know of some recaps I can check if I’ve forgotten anything… But, we were promised that this season is a fun summer popcorn movie, so let’s just roll with it. Wait, what show is this? The better to tame that giant tentacle monster that looms invisibly over the city. And, as always with Stranger Things, I do mean man.Ī scientist in a pristine white lab coat carries an important looking briefcase into the command booth and removes 2 vials of Cesium 137, the better to tame Time. General Hammond is chain smoking while the tech crew fires up the elaborate new gate device to bore a hole into a place where no man should go. Things are intense here at Stargate, I mean Upside Down, Command, kids. Will is still searching for a sense of normalcy after the events of the first two seasons. Steve, Nancy and Jonathan have graduated from high school and gotten jobs. In fact, everyone has more free time (and hormones), so Stranger Things is struggling with a series of epic romances this season. The kids are pairing off into couples and discovering the joys of kissing. A new mall has opened in town which has become the center of the town’s social life. It’s now the summer of 1985 in Hawkins and things are changing. I’m a chaotic, that’s just the way it goes. They are all there, even though they aren’t in order. Recaps for Stranger Things Seasons 1 & 2. Season 3 got lost in the shuffle as I was working on season 3 of Dark for that entire summer, so it seems like a good time to catch up, before season 4 comes out, likely in early 2022. It’s been kind of intense around here lately, so let’s take a trip back in the wayback machine to Jand Stranger Things 3.
