[@TomsTube]

I was Rana at the end of this episode. Crying with relief and overwhelmed… Such a classic scene 🥲

[@ernieojeda]

I think it hits harder for a lot of people that had suicidal thoughts with this episode because a lot of times it's those good memories that are still keeping us here and not giving up on life and still fighting and hoping for more of those good memories to come along.

[@lalalalisa41]

Exactly this

[@abdielportillo9526]

Also when all the rocks and trash are falling down while Max was trying to reach the portal just to be back with her friends are an amazing example of how people with suicidal thoughts has to deal to get finally happiness and also the support that their friends gave her on the show, show us how important friends are for people with suicidal thoughts and Max was lucky that she got support of her friends while the others didn’t have the support that they needed

[@lunaloutfy]

The fact that the shootout scene was done all in one take. Probably one of the most intense and human moments of the entire series. Nothing about it is supernatural. It’s only natural and that’s what makes it so scary and deadly. But very intriguing to watch. God, the stakes are so much higher this time around and it just keeps getting more epic and even bigger with every season and episode. Best. Show. Ever. (At least, to me.)

[@JuanGarcia-ep7kc]

Bullets go through drywall. The fact they all haven't died because of bullets is crazy. Especially the Russian break thing where the back of a van was shot with RIFLES. Lol

[@retrogames3404]

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealdoe]

from the moment she started levitating, to when she started running, to when the slow motion started, with the music crescendo into an orchestral sound, both big af and also empty, i didnt just have my heart beating IN MY THROAT, but my stomach was made of STEEL. damn. and the release afterwards.. rana not being able to stop crying.. same gurl, same.

[@Bakemer94]

I love the "worst case scenario" mindset everyone has today. Is anyone capable of a positive thought?

[@Vyngraven]

@@Bakemer94 The thing is, everyone is so hyper focused on her now because of this episode. Yes, she did a great job... but so did the rest of the cast in those ending scenes. The praise is fine, but your comment and the other million are over doing it in my opinion. I think those last scenes really pushed people into thinking its all about her. The editing, the music, the visual effects were all on point, and nobody gives any credit to these elements that make the actors look good.

[@SmoofDizzle]

That one-shot was so damn cool, also hommie needs a raise for how many military people he took out solo!

[@emptyasmrman]

I was never really a fan of Max, when it was shown that she was the next target I was like "Meh" okay. That whole final scene, with the music, the shot composition, the amazing acting by Max's actor. It made me really emotional, and made me really care about her, that's never happened to me before, it was cinematically one of the best shots of T.V. I've scene(pun) personally. I truly felt the struggle that she was going through, I ended up screaming at my screen "RUN MAX RUN, YOU CAN DO IT" before catching myself like "Wait when did I care this much?" If a show can do that to me, then it's amazing in my opinion.

"Why start with the eyes?!" Apparently what they see in the dreams gets 'burned' into their minds since the memory is being wrenched out unwillingly and would be playing non-stop like a fresh trauma. --And because it's a great visual for an 80s horror XD

[@tova1412]

his family's eyes also got taken out, so part of the survivors guilt probably told him he should go out in the same way

[@Lauren-zx3gx]

The fact that so many people have that exact same reaction to THAT scene speaks volumes. It felt like I was the one running for my life. The wave of emotions that rolls over you at that scene…. That is some excellent storytelling and the insanely brilliant combination of the perfect writing, acting, directing, effects, music, sound, editing, etc all coming together to form a masterpiece. If anyone asked me what was the perfect episode of any show ever it would be this one, hands down.

I've watched *that scene* almost a dozen times since the episode came out, but it still manages to hit just as much as the first viewing. It's just that good. Coming back to it a bunch of years in the future is going to be even better. I also love how I 100% know which song would save me from Vecna's curse. "Seasons die one after another" by Amazarashi. It's my absolute fave track of all times, and it helped me greatly during my struggle with depression (and still does). Music is a blessing.

This entire episode was the best of the entire show so far. So many different plot points happened and they were all executed flawlessly. I know the star of this was the Max storyline but everything else with the Hopper/Joyce/Murray, Mike/Will/Jonathan, Nancy/Robin storylines was also amazing.

[@lunaloutfy]

I wrote this comment on another video: In my opinion, Max is the best written character of the season. I remember my first time watching this scene and I was an emotional wreck. Max is my favorite from the kids, and I was so stressed out while watching that scene. It's the way it could have gone either way because of the way it was done. That scene will forever be my favorite moment in the entire series, and Sadie deserves all the damn awards for her performance. And major kudos to Shawn Levy for directing as well! Wow. Just wow. This show is truly something else, and there's a reason why I consider it my favorite of all time. It only gets better and better with every episode and every season. Also, your reactions were priceless and exactly what I expected omg!! Love you guys so much ❤️

[@mjkjelland13]

Love this episode, even though it was extremely stress inducing. My emotion level turned up to 11, so much so that my roomie started knocking on my door asking if I was "OK". I assured her I was fine and why I was so vocal. She didn't realize that season 4 dropped and said she was going to start watching immediately. Fast Forward several hours later, I hear my roomie yelling from her room. I went out to the hall and waited a couple of minutes. When she came out of her room, she was shaken. All she said to me was, " At least Max is alive" with a half sobbing, half laughing voice.

[@mrcastro7743]

Wow, What A Great Reaction! 😭 Very Emotional You guys had me crying with yall. Any show no matter what type of genre it is if it puts you in a different state of emotion by the end of it then that's art excellent top-tier writing which is rare not too many tv/films can pull that off

Technically, I'd say Yuri was likely Chaotic Neutral, not Chaotic Evil. CN is the alignment that is most out for their own interests, regardless of the morality of it.

When a better deal was considered (turning in everyone), he took that one instead.
