Or, ironically, I just need to lighten up a bit and stop taking this kind of stuff so seriously.Ĭhill, it’s not that deep, as the kids say these days. Or the writers have no respect for the toys I grew up playing with, so now I’m going to start a petition to get Stranger Things off the air! They don’t know Lite-Brite the way I do!! I love the 80’s because I was a kid and now today sucks because I’m an adult with responsibility, so why do these actors get to time travel and have fun while I have to work 9-5!!! Or maybe the writers just needed a way for the two sides to communicate and it also works as a commercial tie-in to make money. That essence of the light is perhaps what’s affected by the Upside Down not the electric coil in the bulb. The explanation for this, in my mind, is that the pegs, while lit by the bulb initially, kept some of the light within them.

Stranger Things Season 4 has been a helluva ride with revelations galore (and gore) about the show’s characters, its multiple settings, and criss-crossing plot lines.
