Stranger Things is over (sorry, folks, #ConformityGate wasn’t actually a thing), and while there were aspects of the final season that I liked, I also have issues with a handful of the narrative choices. The one that has most consistently been bothering me is Linda Hamilton’s role as Dr. Kay. I was psyched when it was announced in June 2023 that the Terminator 2 actress was boarding the popular Netflix subscription-exclusive series, but now roughly two and a half years later, I’m disappointed by how poorly she was used and need to talk about it.
