Hello, I’m new to fandom and really excited for the fifth season. I just can’t figure out how to comment on posts. If anyone could tell me how to comment that would be greatly appreciated.

A little info about me:

Favorite character: Steve

Favorite character combo: Dustin and Steve

Thing I need to happen in season five: Will needs to actually tell Mike about his feelings for him (Whether Mike feels the same or not doesn’t matter to me particularly I just need it to happen)

In response to what I sent earlier, I’m sorry. I still don’t understand how to comment on this platform. I formally apologize. This is what my screen looks like.

Alex Breaux is an American actor who plays Dr. Brenner in the original Broadway cast of Stranger Things: The First Shadow. He also has a yet-to-be-disclosed role in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.[1]

What could be the reason to have the same actor in S5, unless its for the same role. So flashbacks of Henry with Brenner, the scenes which were not adopted in the play.

If you're going off solely Season IV, it puts Vecna/Henry as the main antagonist and the Mind Flayer being the greater antagonistic force turned weapon by Vecna/Henry, but the First Shadow's release, it seemed to have flipped, with Henry/Vecna being secondary antagonist and the mind flayer being the main but later comments by the duffer brothers clarified that HENRY was the main antagonist of the show?

How do y'all think it works?

My current theory more or less is that it's a mix- the Mind Flayer's predecessor from Dimension X is what gave Henry his powers, but it was Henry, and his own emotions that created the Mind Flayer that we see in the show- meaning Henry/Vecna IS the main antagonist, while the mind flayer is the overarching antagonistic force, but otherwise secondary antagonist due to being more of a persona of Henry/Vecna.

Can we have a moment of appreciation for the first ever character shown on stranger things “elevator scientist”

Teaser trailer out on May 31

Greetings, Strangers!

I'm back at my laptop and able to officially post our thread for May, which is replacing our thread for April. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Before you dive into conversation, here are our rules that will ensure this conversation remains appropriate:

• No sharing of personal information that could reveal someone’s identity. This includes full names of both yourself or your family/significant other, face reveals, one’s location (such as city), one’s school, phone numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, or other social media, such as Instagram or Snapchat. It is also advised for you not to share your age, though this will not be a requirement on this thread – it is just basic internet safety if you’re under 18.

• No face reveals. This could also fall under the "no sharing of personal info" rule, but it's important to emphasize it.

• Be polite and respectful of each other. Fights that spiral out of control can and will get this thread locked.

• Keep the conversation appropriate and PG. If it wouldn’t be acceptable on the main d-board, it won’t be acceptable here.

• No politics or religion. As interesting as these are, disagreements over them can get nasty, and lead to the breaking of rule #3.

Please also note that off-topic conversation is still not allowed anywhere else on the d-board – that is what this thread is for. And as always, our discussion guidelines apply here, just as they do for the rest of the d-board (save for the off-topic rule, of course).
