Chapter Five: Dig Dug

This show keeps getting better and better. the story keep moving forward as some collided together. The Ending again make you scream.

Hopper is trapped in the tunnels and can not find anyway out since the hole he made has been covered by wines. Meanwhile Jonathan and Nancy seek out Murray´s home to disclose the truth about Barb using also the tape recorder. Lucas tells to Max what happened to Will when he vanished, but she does not believe in his words. Bob comes to Joyce´s home and notes that Will´s drawings are indeed a map of Hawkins and they find Hopper´s whereabouts. Dustin traps Dart that has grown up in the basement and Steve helps him. Terry tries to communicate with El. Joyce and Bob rescue Bob and scientists from the Hawkins Laboratory help them to leave the tunnels.

"Chapter Five: Dig Dug" is one of the best episodes of "Stranger Things".The story is well written and has many unforgettable moments. Will is totally connected to the shadow monster, sharing feelings with the Upside Down world. Bob is becoming an important character in the story and Dr. Sam Owes does not seem to be a bad guy. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Chapter Five: Dig Dug"

In this season this episode absolutely tops everything. Very interesting and intense plot.

This episode had so much going on some could say it was overwhelming, it was still great because (most of) the plots were very intense and fun.

Will's story took centre stage yet again this episode and I support it as it was the most important this episode and the eeriest, Noah Schnapp is gifted and performs amazingly as Will Byers. Finn, Winona and Sean are what make this plot so amazing and intense, the best roster of the episode.

Hopper in the tunnels is the most intense plot of the episode, I can't say that there was a part where I was calm, every second had me on the edge of my seat, David Harbour said like a total of 3 words since he was alone but yet his body language and expressions made it all the more interesting.

Eleven's plot was just lore drop and yet was still top 3 plots of the episode. The acting and intensity of the story (not to mention emotion) makes it 10 times better.

Dustin's story this episode adds a warm comical to such a stressful episode, the beginning of an era without a doubt, and has amazing parallels and arc foreshadowing.

Nancy and Jonathan's story is this low because I saw this coming from a mile away, Murray being the tritagonist to this plot was fun and somewhat necessary but still had its relevant parts, but it was mainly to build on their arcs.

I can humbly say that Lucas had the weakest story of the episode, it was basically just him acting on his feelings but since it's the best romance of the show I will let it slide. Lumax is heavily developed here and I love it, but not Billy, there wasn't much character development here on either side but it was fun to watch their dynamics grow, which i love.

This episode was very eventful and the ending was very shocking (but hilarious at the same time), but since there is too much going on here (having many weak spots) it's not perfect, but yet, in classic Stranger Things fashion, it still pulls it off

I give the episode an 8/10.

Alright the story is truly starts racing forward, turning cryptic drawings and missing persons into two of the season's most intense, nail-biting rescue missions. Both incredibly smart and genuinely scary.

The "smart" element belongs entirely to Bob the Brains, who uses mundane local knowledge to decipher Will's terrifying scribbles, transforming a map of possession into a pathway to save Hopper. This leads to a fantastic, claustrophobic rescue sequence in the tunnels that is truly heart-pounding... seeing the spreading Upside Down vines close in on Hopper is peak horror.

Simultaneously, Eleven's separate journey hits a powerful emotional peak as she finds her catatonic mother, gaining the confirmation she desperately needed about her past.

With Dart now revealed as a deadly Demodog and Hopper finally pulled from danger, the combined threats are now fully known, guaranteeing pure chaos for the rest of the season.
