Time after time. One of the things Stranger Things has always done so well is finales. And one of the things they've always nailed in their finales are the epilogues. After the action, after the insanity, after the villain is defeated, we get a few more moments with our characters that wrap up their arcs for the season.

Over and out... I am wrapping up my Stranger Things coverage here on the blog. One final bittersweet goodbye to this beautiful ten-year journey that all of us have been on together. Yesterday, I ranked every single episode of the show, so today, we are zooming out and ranking all five seasons.

So the question remains: who is the titular sorcerer? Well, here are five of my possible answers below. 5. Dustin Henderson A possible D&D nickname for everyone's favorite

The mysterious third episode. We are counting down the days! My individual episode predictions continue with The Turnbow Trap , the third entry in Stranger Things 5 . This episode is actually directed by the legendary Frank Darabont (he directed The Shawshank Redemption ), who came out of retirement to join Stranger Things .

I'm running up that hill. So should I stay or should I go? One of the things that makes Stranger Things so special is its usage of music. Every single season has a fantastic combination of music with thrilling or emotional sequences. Honest to God, making this list was harder than I thought it would be, because there are more than ten great needle drops in this show. I cannot wait for season five to give us some more, but for now, let's look back and discuss the top ten song
