And now, let us begin...
To celebrate the holidays as we wait for Stranger Things 4, I thought now would be a good time
to talk about a certain storyline from the upcoming season.
The following comes from a collaborative post by the users Dutycycle and MightyFluff on
the subreddit Hawkins AV Club, a Reddit community that we endorse on our channel as a reliable
source of information.
It contains some plot details that were not revealed anywhere else, so here’s a spoiler
warning for you all.
The “Welcome to California” teaser for season 4 showed us some interesting shots
featuring the door in the desert and the tubular tunnels where the soldiers were having a shootout.
Without getting into details as to how they know about this, the secret behind the door
in the desert is actually known to some users on the subreddit.
They were planning on keeping this a secret until the release date, but after the marketing
of the season dropped breadcrumbs in the fourth teaser, they felt ok to reveal a few things.
Looking at the door in the desert, many folks will deduce on their own that it is the entrance
to a secret base.
You are correct to assume that.
And if that confirmation is all that you need without any further details or possible spoilers,
then you should stop seeing the video here due to spoilers.
Once again, spoiler warning.
Apparently, this underground base is a former US missile silo, maybe a retired Titan or
Atlas silo.
Furthermore, this facility appears to be, to some degree, converted to a lab like Hawkins.
Now our sources here on the subreddit don’t know if there are kids there and if so how
many, or the ages, but it is implied that Eleven is taken there, confirmed as well in
the teaser with her outside the area seemingly blowing up stuff.
They also know for certain that Brenner is definitely related to this, and that, in turn,
all of that is related to a specific thing that was revealed in the episode titles: Project
Nina, something which both users will unfortunately have to refrain from elaborating on, for now
at least.
Season 4 seems to establish a conflict between two prominent agencies: the U.S. Army, and
one of its own branches, the Military Police.
The teaser features shots of both sides fighting in the tunnel, which are taken from within
the actual facility itself.
For anyone who’s watched this show more than once, the white “MP” lettering displayed
on the helmets of those in the second shot above may seem familiar, perhaps even disconcertingly
so.
This is for good reason, as Hawkins Lab’s military garrison was comprised almost exclusively
of MPs from 1983 to its closure in 1984.
Understandably then, the presence of MPs in this new silo complex is notable, if not somewhat
unsurprising given Brenner’s involvement with this portion of the plot.
However, since we’re looking at conflict between two U.S. military agencies and their
personnel next season, it’s certainly no longer as simple as “bad men vs small-town
heroes.”
One of the users points out that this could very well be a coup, a sudden, violent, and
illegal seizure of power from a government.
This may very well be correct when considering that the Military Police Corps are, in themselves,
a branch of the Army.
Very interesting.
This Silo is definitely where they’ll lock up Eleven.
It could also serve as a lab, meaning that this could be where Eleven’s powers return
and the reemergence of Martin Brenner.
As for the police and the soldiers, some fans speculated that there would be a fight between
Doctor Owens and Doctor Brenner.
Maybe Owens has the military police while Brenner has the army’s back.
Another person that could definitely be involved here is one of the new characters: Lieutenant
Colonel Sullivan.
As the show’s first significant military-related character, it’s virtually guaranteed he’ll
play a pivotal role, particularly in a season as tumultuous as this one.
With his military rank as Lieutenant Colonel theoretically affording him jurisdiction and
influence over both agencies; on a basis of good versus evil, Sullivan could very well
go both ways.
Will he form an alliance with Owens or Brenner?
We shall end up seeing when season 4 comes out.
Here’s hoping that we get more answers very soon.
