Stranger Things Recap: Vessel, Builder, Sorcerer, Spy

by

The strange, swirling energy is actually exotic matter, and it’s what’s keeping the barrier between worlds stable. Steve correctly wonders if someone wants the barrier to fall so they can get to Vecna and Holly, but the answer is no. Vecna didn’t create the barrier, so neither he nor Holly are on the other side. The barrier isn’t a wall at all – it’s the edge of a wormhole, and the Upside Down is that wormhole. Think of a wormhole as a tunnel or a bridge connecting our world (Hawkins) to another. If that bridge collapses, both worlds will be destroyed, and everything in them. A bullet has already started the collapse. What’s on the other side of the barrier? According to Dustin, “Death.” Basically, this season of Stranger Things requires a degree in theoretical physics to fully understand what’s going on.

Bitcoin’s Little Holiday Swoon 📉

The ‘gift,’ naturally, is mere liquidity. The ability to scuttle for cover, as it were, while the going is…slightly less atrocious. It seems our Bitcoin hasn’t entirely eschewed gravity, despite the brief, almost impudent rally earlier today to a peak of $89,194. Still a shade under 29.3% from its former, rather overheated glory. One wonders if its creators anticipated such a delicate constitution.

by

And then, on December 25th – a date otherwise reserved for family squabbles and questionable gifts – Lido DAO [LDO] dared to be different. It defied the prevailing gloom, a small patch of blue in a stormy sky. A preference, it appeared, for protocols that actually produce something, rather than merely exist on promises and hot air. The irony, of course, is delicious. 🧐

Sadie Sink Came Around to Her Stranger Things Fate

by

Because of Holly’s determination to escape the cave – their only safe haven from Vecna – and find a way back home, the young women embark on a journey through Vecna’s memories, realizing they can escape by revisiting the night he captured Holly. Following a series of clues, they discover how Henry Kreel became Vecna and why he feared the cave so much. It turns out that as a child, Henry found an injured, unstable scientist hiding in the rock formations, guarding a briefcase. Mistaking Henry for an assassin sent by enemies, the scientist shot him. Henry then killed the scientist with a rock and opened the briefcase. The contents, and what was worth killing for, will be revealed in the finale. For now, though, there’s good news: Max is safe!

Stranger Things Midseason-Premiere Recap: Plugged In

by

Last time we saw our group of quirky heroes – including Will Byers and Steve Harrington – Will had a breakthrough moment of self-acceptance. This gave him the power to connect with the hive mind and defeat three Demogorgons, mirroring how Henry Creel fought. It’s a sweet message: embracing who you are can make you incredibly strong, and it’s especially fitting during the holidays! Sadly, Will realizes this a little too late. While he manages to save Mike, Lucas, and Robin, he can’t stop Vecna from pulling 11 other children into the Upside Down, joining Holly. These 12 kids are now trapped and connected to spires, with vines pumping them full of Upside Down energy. Will feels responsible for the loss, and the remaining team back in Hawkins needs to come up with a new plan.
