WHAT AN EMOTIONAL EPISODE As Will Comes Out! Stranger Things Season 5 Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - STRANGER THINGS 5, Episode 5 & 6 - Tara & Andrew's REACTION: https://youtu.be/G_3Dp_fo1So - STRANGER THINGS 5, Episode 3 & 4 - Tara & Andrew's REACTION: https://youtu.be/xAUAK2gECzE - STRANGER THINGS 5, Episode 1 & 2 - Tara & Andrew's REACTION: https://youtu.be/T9GPwZJjcpI - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon react to Stranger Things Season 5 (Part 2), Episode 7 — “The Bridge,” a pivotal chapter that pushes the series toward its endgame as Hawkins, the Upside Down, & the Abyss collide. With the plan finally in motion, this episode balances high-concept mythology with deeply personal character moments that redefine what victory might cost. “The Bridge” centers on the dangerous strategy to draw dimensions closer, creating a literal & symbolic bridge between worlds. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown – Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) is forced to confront the limits of her power as the group prepares for a direct confrontation with Henry Creel / Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower – Sweeney Todd, Twilight). Will Byers (Noah Schnapp – Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) remains crucial, his connection to the other side sharpening as truths about the Abyss and Henry’s endgame come into focus. The ensemble remains front & center, with Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Mike Wheeler, Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as Will Byers, Gaten Matarazzo (Prank Encounters, Dear Evan Hansen) as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as Lucas Sinclair, Joe Keery (Free Guy, Djo) as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke (Inside Out 2) as Robin Buckley, Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes) as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton (The New Mutants) as Jonathan Byers, Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street) as Max Mayfield, Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as Joyce Byers, and David Harbour (Violent Night, Black Widow) as Jim Hopper. Standout moments from “The Bridge” include the perilous cross-dimensional maneuver, tense reunions and confessions, revelations about how the Abyss connects to the Upside Down, and a cliffhanger that leaves the fate of Hawkins — and several characters — terrifyingly uncertain. As the final chapters approach, this episode feels like the last step before the plunge. #StrangerThings #React #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThingsSeason5 #TheBridge #TheVanishingOf #Netflix #UpsideDown #Vecna #Eleven #WillByers #Hawkins #FinalSeason #SciFiHorror #80sTV #TVReaction #TVReview #FinalSeason #StrangerThingsReaction #ReactTo #Binge #Bingeworthy 0:00 Checking In! 1:12 Stranger Things 5x7 Reaction 26:01 Stranger Things 5 Review Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Andrew Gordon On Socials: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/Agor711 Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

At 22:52, I love that Robin is beaming throughout most of this scene. She did what Steve did for her. And of course, he's right behind her. People complain about this scene, mostly because the scene's placement slows down the pacing, but I think it was very well done. Kind of wish his, unofficial, stepdad was there too. Hopper was already in the tunnels.

I see a lot of people misinterpreting Will's coming out scene as Vecna forcing him to come out, but that's not really it. Vecna didn't tell Will, "I'm going to tell all your friends/family that your gay and they are all going to hate you." He showed Will his own worst fear, which was that if he DID come out, like he was hoping to do since episode 5, his friends/family might not be there with him in the same way, and that things would change. Although it's a reasonable fear in the 80s, Will doesn't really think his friends are the type to turn their backs on him in disgust, but he is afraid that this difference about him will separate them all. He even said that just some of them worrying about him is what drives them apart. Will is terrified of that but he realized he needed to come out and reveal this part of himself to this group before they all march into battle together to prove to himself and to Vecna that he is capable of overcoming his fears and trusting the people he is with to remain by his side going forward. Hence the big group hug with everyone. I get him doing it in front of the whole group might be weird to some people but this was not just Will coming out, it was him putting his trust in the hands of everyone there. Murray and Kali probably didn't have to be there though.

They handled Will's coming out scene and the whole "Byler" thing very well in episode 7. Too many people wanted to see Mike and Will end up as a couple - and that never made any sense to me. Mike has never had any indications that he might be gay ... not to mention that he has been in love with Eleven since he met her in season 1 and they have been a couple since the end of season 2. Why would it ever have made sense to ship Mike and Will?

I’m pretty sure the most violent death of this season was that military guy who got stabbed in the eyes and mouth by Vecna
