Mike saving Will in the Upside Down is my new Roman Empire, so I made fanart of it.

We won't survive Season 5

Remember that this is the show that gave us:

And Season 4 was rated TV-14.

Season 5 is rated TV-MA.

It's the final season. Everything is ratcheted up.

Not just the gore, but the emotion.

This is the show that gave us:

The agony of seeing someone you love DYING.

AND you're telling me Will is the main character? AND that Byler is likely? AND this season will be more gruesome? AND that Noah Schnapp will be conveying emotion on my screen?

I think Will gets his happy ending, but there'll be darkness before light.

I'm. Not. Ready.

Byler for Christmas?

Are we all in agreement that, if Byler happens, it will be during Volume 2?

Netflix has announced:

Volume 1 is episodes 1-4 (Nov. 26)

Volume 2 is episodes 5-7 (Dec. 25)

Volume 3 is episode 8 (Dec. 31)

I think having Byler happen in Volume 1 would be too early for many people. Most people haven't been thinking about the possibility yet. Having it in Volume 2 lets the show plant the seeds for Byler in the General Audience's minds a full month in advance. Then speculation can run rampant, and Byler analysis videos (ahem!) can be consumed.

I've already been thinking about how exactly they'll manage audience expectations! It needs time. Here's an older post of mine: "How the Duffers likely will make the general audience AWARE of Byler and CHEER for Byler"

I'm being a bit selfish, too, in that I don't want it to happen in the very last episode because we need our happy Byler coupley moments! Plus, this gives time in the story for Will to boldly be out in Hawkins High.

Plus, Episode 6 is frikkin titled "Escape from Camazotz." Which is probably a reference to A Wrinkle in Time, which has a scene of someone's love pulling someone else out of a possession which reads like a Byler fanfic, and is consistent with how Mike has saved Will several times from the Upside Down already.

And while we're at it, the final episode of Volume 1 is titled "Sorcerer," which is also the Miwi episode! It's the one that has the flashback of a young Mike, Will, and Jonathan. Maybe it's titled "Sorcerer" because it's about someone new having powers? Someone like Will? Volume 1 of Season 4 ended with the big reveal of who Vecna was. Volume 1 needs to be its own mid-season climax. Isn't this the perfect time for Will's buried memories to make a big revelation about Will? And to jumpstart speculation about Will's future and about Byler?
