I'm only giving a 2.9 for the tinny speakers...
The rest is... unforgettable:

College Football. Independence Bowl

Coastal Carolina University vs Louisiana Tech

Reasonably satisfying ending to a mostly good series. 😐👍

Is "M" the 12th sequel to the classic "A"...
Also, is that a GT7 parts ticket I see on the 13th December...?

It's one heck of an anthology. Cookie Monster steals every scene he's in!

I've never played GT7. No idea what that looks like.

Yesterday I watched the season and series finale of Stranger Things. Wow, 10 years invested and IMO it delivered: thrilling action, bittersweet closure and proper send-offs. Yet, as many other good and popular series it probably overextended itself (Cobra Kai, House, Bones), while others are cut short (The Expanse, The Good Doctor), and others achieve the perfect length and ending (The Good Place, The Bodyguard).

IMO, in the end we follow a series because we care most about the characters and the actors that bring them to life, and this show had one great cast, and left its mark in the history of entertainment.

Season finale: 8.5/10, season 5: 8.0/10, series as a whole, hmm, 8.5/10.

I thought the CGI was next level but the plot was weak in a lot of places. The ease and quickness at how they defeated the main villain was kind of underwhelming…expected a Thanos vs Avengers endgame sort of finale what I got was Freddy’s final nightmare vibes

To me it was more like the Lord of the Rings (movies) ending, or a D&D campaign, two of the main inspirations of the show: Vecna ultimately falls not by might of Eleven (who, if we draw parallels to LoTR, is a creature of the same order, just like Sauron and Galdalf were Maiar) but for the intervention/actions of the most unexpected persons in multiple fronts: Will, Holly, and Max, and the "fellowship" of everyone else.
