Although the new actress playing Holly appears much older than the character’s established age of seven, this change suggests Holly will play a much larger role in the series than before. The first four episodes of the final season reveal she’s actually the most important character, similar to how Will Byers was central to the story in Season 1. By making Holly the driving force behind nearly every character’s actions, Stranger Things is bringing the story full circle, promising a satisfying conclusion to its incredible run.

The conflict continues as Enjin works to bring his team together, while Zodyl presents Rudo with a final offer. Upcoming episodes promise excitement and unexpected plot twists, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Normally, finding out what Max has been experiencing in Henry’s mental prison would be a highlight, but this episode has so much going on that it feels less important. Sadie Sink does a great job delivering a lot of necessary information, but this storyline mainly serves as a pause in the action.

James Cameron recently shared on the podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni that he almost produced the movie Wicked about 15 years ago, shortly after its Broadway premiere. He’s a big fan of the story and The Wizard of Oz is one of his favorite films. However, Cameron explained he ultimately decided against the project because he wasn’t satisfied with the music.
