Spoilers for Stranger Things Season 5 Vol 1 (First 4 episodes, S05E01 The Crawl, S05E02 The Vanishing of…, S05E03 The Turnbow Trap, S05E04 Sorcerer)
First, yes Season 5 Vol 1 was released about month ago (on US Thanksgiving), but I didn’t see any other discussion threads, and I just finished watching it last night.
Season 5 Vol 2 releases on Christmas and Vol 3 (the finale) on New Years.
After the craziness of season 4’s ending I was thinking, “Why would anyone stay in this town that’s split halfway open?”
Patch it up and force them to quarantine! And then the main gang can run secret missions. It was perfect.
Honestly after the stuff with the mall season, I’m surprised people stayed around.
Well some people did leave, like the Byers and Eleven, but they came back for obvious reasons and then got stuck in the quarantine
Of course we don’t know how many normal people left/stayed
