I think the general public will be more familiar with the term sorcerer than psion. That’s probably why they chose the former. If anything, he’s more of a spell thief rogue since he’s really just channeling Vecna’s own power. I’m guessing he won’t keep the power after Vecna is defeated...

It’s not the first time they haven’t quite got the D&D stuff right. Doesn’t really bother me as much as some other stuff does (like Russians in full Soviet military uniforms hiding under a middle American town).

Yes, however it’s clear Mike was referencing the class because he tells Will his powers are innate, not learned.

That’s the other weird thing: if her heart rate had actually gotten up to 140+, surely Lucas would have noticed. The HR monitor beeps are pretty loud.

But still no vehicle stats for skycoaches! shakes fist at clouds

Something I only just discovered, having reached the end of the book, is that these art pieces are all repeated in an appendix, mostly in order (it’s possible DDB has shuffled the order accidentally) to show the story in full. I think the idea is that the Warforged created in the first images...

Something that’s kinda bugging me: does time pass differently inside Henry’s mind palace? I ask because, during Max’s explanation of how she found the cave, she talks about how she’d almost found her way out and it shows the scene from earlier in the season where Lucas is at the hospital with...

Here’s how the open-deck airships can travel at 20 mph: EDIT: That said, the new blimp-like air cruisers have a top speed of 10 mph. The sky skiff has a top speed of 7 mph. The strider has a top speed of 8 mph. So maybe they’ve quietly retconned out the 20 mph speed.

Yeah, I pointed it out in a different thread, but it's great stuff. Of course, the Construct Forge is a Level 17 bastion facility, so it's wholly end game stuff. Creating a Warforged Titan takes 250 days and costs 200,000 gp. Here's the caveat in full: "Creating new Warforged Titans is illegal...

Huh, I had spotted the recurring characters (they're also in the House Agent images and no doubt elsewhere), and I saw the connection between the skyskiff image and the museum image, but I didn't realize just how much of a story there is. That actually makes me feel better about the art - I was...

Yep. EDIT: I had to renew mine in 2022.* Now that I think about it, though, the NFC chip isn't in the plastic card. It's embedded in the cover (either the front or the back). I remember because I had a devil of a time using my passport to verify my LinkedIn account. You have to get your phone...

But but … the tabloids say Aaron Taylor Johnson has been formally offered the role!

The new passports first came out in 2021. That card is where the electronic data and the NFC chip are stored.

They could have been senior students with Henry a freshman. Apparently that high school memory Max found is detailed more in the prequel play. In that, Dr Brenner confronts Henry on stage. Apparently, the play explains the cave Max is hiding in as well, and it makes it seem like the mind flayer...

OK. Her birth year is 1980, which would make her 7, but I guess they’ve changed that.

OK I think it’s awesome that they cast a Kiwi actress to play Holly this season. However, Nell Fisher is 14. She’s too tall and too mature to pull off a 7-year-old convincingly. Holly comes across as being more like 11 (the same age Will was when he was taken).

I dunno. One must also consider the symbolism of that scene. Barb represents Nancy's innocence, and Barb dying in the pool is a symbol of Nancy's loss of innocence. I'm sure you could retcon it and say Vecna tried with Barb first, but the way it's shown on screen doesn't really fit with that...

The Satanic Panic stuff was really more in Season 4 with Jason. He even goes on a rant about how he’s read that D&D can make you lose touch with reality, etc. He claims Eddie’s lost himself in the game and is killing people as a result. The stuff with Dustin and Andy is more just typical jock...

This interview with the Duffer bros confirms that opening sequence with young Will in the Upside Down was a CGI face swap. Apparently Weta Workshop here in NZ did it! https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/stranger-things-5-explained-will-powers-return-of-eight-vecna-plan-1236592989/
