After even more time spent dilly-dallying in Russia this episode, I will go one further. This season would have been better had Hopper stayed dead. That might sound harsh, but <em>Stranger Things<\/em> has a clear problem in its reluctance to kill off major characters (unless your name begins with a B \u2014 RIP Barb, Bob, and Billy), which has led to such a sprawling, unwieldy cast.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not the only one that thinks this. Millie Bobby Brown herself said in a recent interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?t=82&amp;v=2hX7gF645Ws&amp;feature=emb_imp_woyt\"><em>The Wrap<\/em><\/a> that the show needs to take a <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to character fates. \u201cThe Duffer Brothers are sensitive sallys who don\u2019t want to kill anybody off,\u201d Brown said. \u201cWe need to have the mindset of <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>. Kill me off! They tried killing David off and they brought him back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is why I have no doubt that Steve (Joe Keery) will survive his attack in the Upside Down that ends this episode. The main cast is covered in plot armor. And look, it\u2019s not as if I want Steve to die; he\u2019s a great character. But doing so would increase the stakes of the show and add another dimension to the narrative going forward. I mean, I\u2019m certainly not going to complain if Argyle (Eduardo Franco) accidentally drives his pizza truck off a cliff edge, taking Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and the Byers boys with him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1046308\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1046308\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1046308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/david-harbour-stranger-things-4.jpg\" alt=\"David Harbour in Stranger Things 4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/david-harbour-stranger-things-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/david-harbour-stranger-things-4-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/david-harbour-stranger-things-4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/david-harbour-stranger-things-4-570x285.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1046308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netflix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Killing characters off would also free up some space, meaning episodes such as this won\u2019t feel like they\u2019re dragging every time we check in with the less captivating characters. The Russian prison plot is beyond stale at this point, even if it is leading to what could be an epic fight with a captured Demogorgon. Hopper and his prison comrades are treated to a banquet to plump them up for the impending battle; the other prisoners believe they are being used to train the otherworldly beast. Hopper knows better.<\/p>\n<p>Between gulps of vodka, Hopper tells the other inmates that he\u2019s faced one of these monsters before. \u201cWe\u2019re not here to train it,\u201d he says, \u201cwe\u2019re here to entertain it.\u201d The beast enjoys the thrill of the hunt and demands live prey. As reality sinks in for the petrified prisoners, Hopper comes up with a plan to defeat the Demogorgon. After provoking a fight with Enzo\/Demitri (Tom Wlaschiha), Hopper uses the distraction to tackle a guard and steal his lighter. With a flame and a bottle of liquor, Hopper and co might just have a fighting chance of taking the monster down.<\/p>\n<p>But the battle must wait for now because the Russia plot is moving at a glacial pace. Just as it is with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Murray (Brett Gelman). They\u2019re at least in Russia now but are lost in the wilderness after crash landing Yuri\u2019s (Nikola \u0110uri\u010dko) plane. Speaking of Yuri, he survived the crash and is tied up as Joyce and Murray\u2019s prisoner. Much like Hopper, Joyce and Murray have a plan, and that\u2019s to use Yuri as a way to get them into the prison. There is some excellent comic potential here as Murray intends to pose as Yuri, while Yuri is forced to act as a captured Murray. But, again, this more interesting stuff has to wait for a future episode.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1046309\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1046309\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1046309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eduardo-franco-stranger-things-4.jpg\" alt=\"Eduardo Franco in Stranger Things 4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eduardo-franco-stranger-things-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eduardo-franco-stranger-things-4-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eduardo-franco-stranger-things-4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/eduardo-franco-stranger-things-4-570x285.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1046309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netflix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The California crew is also on the precipice of something exciting, but first, we must watch their detour to Salt Lake City to meet with Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo). Is it cool to check in with Suzie? Sure, I suppose so. But the whole sequence at Suzie\u2019s Mormon household, which is overrun by unruly kids, could have been neatly tied up in a montage. Instead, this side plot is merely a conduit for Mike and co to find the coordinates of where the government is keeping Eleven \u2014 and to get to that, we must suffer through a confiscated computer plot and Argyle flirting with an Ally Sheedy in <em>Breakfast Club<\/em>-looking chick.<\/p>\n<p>Again, all the best stuff is happening in Nevada and Hawkins. Eleven is still undergoing memory inception to help regain her powers. Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) tells her that her brain signals were scrambled when she was attacked last year but that her abilities are still there. She just needs to find them deep within her buried memories. But if she goes too fast, she is at risk of becoming lost in the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting about Eleven\u2019s head <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> is that we\u2019re not quite sure who she can trust. I previously thought the creepy orderly (Jamie Campbell Bower) was a bad dude, but I\u2019m not so certain after this episode. The orderly, who exists only within Eleven\u2019s memories, appears to be helping her. He tells her that Papa doesn\u2019t always tell the truth and compares her to the famed One, someone Dr. Brenner claims doesn\u2019t exist. The orderly says he spent years with One, and like Eleven, it took him a while to find his powers. \u201cHe found strength in a memory from his past, something that made him sad but also angry,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, the orderly himself is One, right? At least that\u2019s the impression I got. Secondly, this advice helps Eleven in a game of telekinetic sumo wrestling when she taps into a memory of her mother being dragged away from her as a child. Eleven gains a sudden surge of power, sending the cocky Two crashing into a wall. Unfortunately, Eleven pays for this later when the other kids gang up on her in the Rainbow Room, warning her that they\u2019ll kill her if she tells on them. And the orderly pays the consequences, too, as Eleven sees him electrocuted by Brenner and the other doctors.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1046310\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1046310\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1046310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-4-episode-6.jpg\" alt=\"Millie Bobby Brown in Stranger Things 4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-4-episode-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-4-episode-6-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-4-episode-6-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-4-episode-6-570x284.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1046310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netflix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s in this memory that Eleven flashes back to the bloody massacre that opened this season. She remembers now. \u201cI killed them,\u201d she cries after waking back up. \u201cI killed them all.\u201d If only she could kill off some of the other characters. Jokes aside, Brown puts her all into these scenes, which require a great deal of emotional intensity. Now that Mike and the Byers know where she is, I suspect the action will pick up in the next episode.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in Hawkins, the pressure on Eddie (Joseph Quinn) heats up after police name him as a suspect in the recent murders. I was foolish to think that Jason (Mason Dye) the jock might now defend Eddie after witnessing Patrick\u2019s death. But no, Jason is even more confident that Eddie is a vessel for the devil. He spreads his fears at a town hall meeting, telling frightened parents that Eddie leads a cult involved in Satanic sacrifices. As much as Erica (Priah Ferguson) argues that the Hellfire Club is just a group for nerds, the angry citizens of Hawkins follow Jason in his hunt for Eddie and his associates.<\/p>\n<p>The race is on between the police, the neighborhood, and The Party for who can get to Eddie first. Thankfully, it\u2019s The Party who finds Eddie hiding out in the woods. Again, these are the best scenes because it feels like the plot is moving at a speedy pace. Plus, these are the most likable characters. It\u2019s fun seeing Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Robin (Maya Hawke) become friends and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) apologizing to Max (Sadie Sink) for not being there for her in her time of need. And there\u2019s still time for laughs, like Dustin remarking on Steve\u2019s hairy chest and how \u201cchicks apparently dig it\u201d \u2014 cut to Max taking the binoculars and silently checking Steve out for herself.<\/p>\n<p>After Dustin notices his compass going haywire, he comes up with a theory that there must be another gate to the Upside Down nearby. If they can find this gate, maybe they can find and stop Vecna. The electromagnetic pull takes the group to Lover\u2019s Lake, where they surmise that the gate must be underwater (\u201cWater-gate,\u201d Dustin chuckles to himself). The older teens take a boat out to investigate while Dustin, Max, and Lucas wait at the shore, only to be apprehended by the police.<\/p>\n<p>Deep at the bottom of the lake, Steve sees a glowing red light. But before he can report back to the crew, he is dragged into the portal by a slimy tentacle. Nancy, Robin, and a reluctant Eddie all jump in after him, heading for an excursion to the Upside Down. And I gather the trio will arrive just in time to save Steve from those bat-like suckers that start throttling his neck at the end of the episode. Or maybe this show will surprise us? Time will tell.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Stranger Things<\/em>, Season 4, Streaming Now, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
