Don't want to go into spoilers in case anyone still watches the show here and hasn't completed it, but curious as to what you all thought on certain plot elements and how they relate to what is going on presently.

Just watched this yesterday & thought 'The whole thing has references'.

Hahaha. I told ya!
Season 4 is full of comms that are sometimes paraphrasing Q phrases.
"You (El) are the cure to this virus" -- scene in the diner.
You even get a Wargames reference.

It's openly the story of an MK Ultra subject. Even the wiki page references MK Ultra. The super secret government program that the DS has memory-holed forever is like "Yeah put it on a wiki page and make a show about an MK ultra victim. That's cool".
I don't want to put spoilers here, but I told you about all the other references. Season 4 is so overt about it. I was stunned.
Sounds a lot like the sister (River) being transported on the Serenity.
BTW: On my way up to my other house to mow the grass yesterday, I saw another one of those "Jesus is coming soon" billboards. This time it was on an electronic billboard. Instead of being comforting, it gives me the creeps. Somebody somewhere knows something. Jesus is shown larger than life up in the clouds with his arms extended in the shape of the cross.
I agree, the comms used in this season are not even nearly as subtle as the other seasons. Could even go as far as saying the comms in this are even more flagrant than we can typically expect in a show.
That said, there's one spot I did catch where one of the kids focuses on the time, and not far from the clock is one of the pedo spirals. (IIRC, decoding symbols theorized that this was to suggest that the person associated with the symbol is 'available'?)
I believe Stranger Things, especially season 4, is showing us aspects of what may be going on behind the scenes. 80% is NOT public....
Eddie’s a rad character.
The opening scene is very coincidental considering recent events.
