Did I miss something with the sword? Like where the F did it even come from?!
Overall I really enjoyed the season, but I agree with some of the complaints. I could have done without 95% of the Russian side plot. I found the scenes with Joyce, Murray and the annoying Russian guy to be incredibly badly acted and over the top. Murray's character is freaking terrible and I'd be just fine if they wrote him right out of the show. Winona Ryder is a really great actress most of the time so I have no idea what was going on with her wide eyed, shocked facial expressions in every scene. I got genuinely annoyed every time they cut to that plot.
As for the rest of it, I really enjoyed it. I loved that they finally did something with Lucus, his character arc was great. I really enjoyed Max's story this season too, although I do think it's a bit cheesy that they didn't straight up kill her off. Although it opens up an interesting idea for next season...will she come back as the bad guy? He absorbed her mind, memories, etc. She's the only one to physically survive so will he use her to get revenge?
I also has a laugh that Eleven just needed to hear that her boyfriend loved her before she could pull herself together enough to try and save the world. Teenage girls are hilarious...I know, I used to be one.
And Nancy: dump Jonathan. Steve is way cooler.
