Other People’s Pills

So, I know Eduardo said that he hasn’t gotten a call for Argyle for ST5. And while I won’t be surprised if they call him in later, esp with how ST tends to be bizarrely secretive towards their cast (see: not even telling Raphael Luce that he was playing 001, and at least one of the girls who were cast as Alice in TFS didn’t get told they were cast until like a month before the previews’ opening night iirc), this has made me realize just how weird the last time we see Argyle in the show is.

So, this is the last time we see Argyle:

He never shows up again after that shot of him in the forest.

But they DID keep showing us his pizza van- right in front of Stinson’s car, as you can see in that last screenshot.

But that’s not the first time we see Stinson’s car during this scene. The first time we see Stinson’s car is when it rolls up behind Argyle’s van:

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it weird as fuck that we literally never see Argyle again right after a government vehicle rolls up to drop Hopper and Joyce off???

And again, it’s so weird how they repeatedly go out of their way to show Argyle’s pizza van in the same shot as Stinson’s car:

Its suspicious. I don’t fully know what’s going on here, but for Argyle to disappear into the woods (see: s1 Will getting “lost in the woods” & argyle’s alice in wonderland imagery vs alice disappearing into wonderland) after a government agent shows up?? Stinson seems nice enough, but I sure as hell don’t fully trust her, especially not with her Connie Frazier vibes/parallels. There’s just something weird about the whole thing.
