#will and mike going to college together out of state mayhaps... to a big city mayhaps?

The ST5 time jump is rumored to be set in 1988. Listen To Your Heart by Roxette came out in 1988. I don't think that is a coincidence.

#byler #/j #no but like #mike wheeler being called out by listen to your heart by roxette can be something so personal #like... #it wouldn't even need to be in the show for me #if they ever were in 1988 for s5 #i would be thinking about how this song exists in their world #and how it's just mike all day #the lyrics? the feeling you get near the end of the song is like a big beam of light? #it's too much honestly #i think it would make sense for the epilogue to be 1989 with them going to college...? #so let me imagine the time jump is in 88 #but i'd be okay with 87 honestly #and then an 89 epilogue bc i feel like that would tie the end of this 80s nostalgia show off nicely #no way they're taking the show into the 90s tho #not happening #will and mike going to college together out of state mayhaps... to a big city mayhaps? #then we'd get a parallel to will looking out of the car happy this time after 4 seasons of him looking out of the car sad #and then we'd get a shot of mike driving and like smiling at peace #and that would be homage to the smalltown boy music video ending... #or that's what i imagine
