The fourth season of Stranger Things brought some great stories but it was sooooo long.
Like a lot of people, I spent the July 4th weekend emotionally recovering from the finale ofSeason 4. Jam-packed with some of the greatest moment in the series’ history, it was an incredible ride filled with horror, tragedy, and triumph.Buffy the Vampire SlayerSeason 4 was gargantuan. It’s a half-hour short of being twice as long as the first season, and at times it showed.
Season 4 still had a few of those moments, particularly “Dear Billy.” That was one of the few times in the season that the old, magnetic magic was there. It had a firefight, the now famous “Running Up the Hill” scene, a heck of a great cameo, and not too much of the Russian side story. Even then, though, you could feel the drag. Max’s time in Vecna’s realm is appropriately horrifying and tense, but every other second feels like it could have been cut.
It’s a little weird because I know for a fact that things were cut this season. Sharp-eyed Houstonians might have noticed longtime local film icon Joe Grisaffi in the credits of an early episode. Grisaffi played an army doctor examining a twisted corpse and had a small speech that doesn’t appear in the final cut. Clearly, some editing on this monstrosity was happening.
