S3 has been my least favorite since its release but i'll admit i kinda warmed up to it a little more with this viewing. to me, the only thing that makes it worth while is scoops troop, the last 2 episodes, and will's little side plotline. everything else is just super jarring after S2 especially when S3 is the only one out of the 4 that doesn't have the "stranger things vibes" everyone looks for. the season being released on july 4th did wonders for it though i'll give them that, i won't lie and say i didn't have fun the summer of 2019 leading up to its release. anyways i saw those S5 set pics and i am SCREAMING, they're giving us apocalyptic hawkins 😭😭
