That's my blog! I don't know you!

I do not like this.

This screenshot? Means you had to have gone to FUCKING BROADWAY to understand this part of the story.

It means that Stranger Things: The First Shadow is at least canon and at most could be required viewing for season 5.

I heard in an interview somewhere that the play, which is still on its run on Broadway, was supposed to "enhance" season 5 and that always bothered me because I was worried it was gonna get shoved into the main show. Lo and behold, here is a reference, as part of the story.

This is bad. It alienates a large part of the audience that either can not go to New York City and/or can not afford tickets to a Broadway show (which last I checked were incredibly expensive). Netflix subscriptions are already pretty expensive unless you go through your cell phone carrier or sail the high seas for content.

I am also going to add that this Broadway show is currently failing. It is not seeing high numbers of viewership. And again, the only way to see it is to go to the show or find a bootleg somewhere. Netflix has yet to put it anywhere where somebody who can not go to the big apple can see it.

I believe Netflix is hoping that they'll get viewership through Stranger Things 5. My worry is what happens if it doesn't, or if the show just naturally leaves Broadway. Is Netflix gonna tour this thing? Or is it just going to be an inaccessible part of the story that someone like my parents will never be able to see.

Shoehorning a broadway musical into the fabric of your story is really, really dumb idea. Please take note writers of this website if you ever become as big as the Duffer Brothers.
