Stranger Things Season 5 *rewrite*

While I dislike Season 5 far less than others, in particular the finale, there are a number of story routes I wish they'd gone and things they'd covered that seemingly get brushed over. I also didn't love a number of the explanations, such as the answer to what the Upside Down is amongst others. I also would have liked more of a narrative focus on the OG characters as opposed to new ones like Holly, Derek, etc. So, without further ado, here is Stranger Things Season 5 rewritten.
