I loved it but in hindsight I think it would have been better to either drop them one at a time or all at once. The break before the last 2 episodes sort of fueled some added expectations that were hard to match in the end. Hardly anything of note happened in 8, and ultimately it felt like the finale was a little flat too, in the sense that nothing much was actually accomplished and the implied body count ended up being one.
Dave, if you rewatch it you may catch more of the 80’s schtick, I thought there was a lot there throughout, mostly film references. We got Conan, Halloween, and The Thing just in the finale alone!

I don’t disagree it felt a little disjointed at times, but probably hard not to when there are so many storylines going on. The only one I really didn’t like was all the stuff with the jocks. I wouldn’t have missed it if they took everything out with those a-holes.
So many high points this season though…El splitting that horrible bully’s face open with the roller skate, Lucas finally pounding that jock kid at the end, Eddie’s most metal concert ever, and those absolutely heartbreaking scenes with Will and Mike, just a lot of great action, acting, and writing.
