I wonder who the great escape reference was for and I’m suprised the kids knew it. It’s 1963 movie.

It’s funny but was the sorcerer also around in the early 80’s?

These 4 episodes in my opinion were better than 99% of the movies in theaters that I saw this year and on par with most other stuff on tv.

I think thats the entire set up. Robin is quirky and scatterbrained, but can come up with good ideas. She has to explain to everyone else what she is talking about with a well received movie thats not exactly for kids. Essentially, it was a way name drop a popular movie while delivering a series of dick jokes while also developing a plot sequence. Hits on many levels. (assuming you didnt get to the eye roll point like I did with the dick jokes.)

In the 80s there were a lot of reruns on regular TV, I watched it a few times back then.

Something that’s kinda bugging me: does time pass differently inside Henry’s mind palace?

I ask because, during Max’s explanation of how she found the cave, she talks about how she’d almost found her way out and it shows the scene from earlier in the season where Lucas is at the hospital with her and her heart rate starts speeding up.

The tape stops, the exit closes, Henry shows up, and Max runs. She reaches the cave, and Henry won’t follow. So she makes it her home.

OK fine but the hospital scene happened like 1 day ago in the real world, but Max has been in a coma for almost two years, and her setup in the cave makes it seem like she’s been living there for about that long. She can’t have gathered all that stuff in just one day. Besides, I feel like she would have said to Holly that she’d only just found the cave.

I wonder if the Duffers meant for the hospital exit scene to be a different one, not the one they’d just shown us, but didn’t make that clear enough.

If she’d almost found her way out of her coma early on but has then spent the majority of the almost two years in the cave, that would make a lot more sense.

EDIT: she did start off by saying she didn’t know how long she’d been “gone” for before suddenly finding herself in the rainbow room. Perhaps she was genuinely unconscious for most of the almost two years and only recently started to revive. Even so, it still feels like she’s been in the cave for too long. Unless maybe most of that stuff was meant to have been there already?

I didnt even question any of that. I think its because there seems to be ages in real life between seasons I just assumed Max was inside Vecnas head for like 25 years at this point.
