Seriously, Barb got screwed, and her parents gave zero fricks about her it seems. Not a single Barb parent made an appearance with the police. You would have thought they'd be working closely with the Wheeler's or the Byers to figure the shite out...but no. Also, just messed up she also happen to be the ugly, weirdo, and she was left out in the cold at that "party".

I thought it was the shotgun shells? They clearly looked meddled with.

It's very quick but after finding the bullets scattered all around, the sheriff glances up at the wall and notices the gun is no longer on the gun rack. That's when he realizes Will ran to the shed to grab the gun because he was in trouble. It's a quick look and the camera is more focused on him than it is the wall, so you may not have realized that he was looking at the empty gun rack and putting two and two together with that and the scattered bullets.

I know someone said earlier the creators hinted the Demogorgon might not be from the upside down world.
I was thinking about this. First, El never physically goes to upside down world. Everyone else does because they physically walk through a gate/portal. El's physical body is in the tank & pool every time, so she never physically goes there. She enters a trance and enters a void (for lack of a better term) subconsciously or in a dream like state. Where El goes is pitch black other than the target she is trying to locate. It isn't like the upside down world that everyone else experiences that is based on where they live with trees, buildings, etc. Their version is more of a parellel dimension. El's version is more like a blank nothing other than the target that she is trying to find.
So one of my theories is what if El actually created the monster. Not on purpose or anything. But she is already in a dreamlike trance once she is submerged in the tank, so all of her fear & anxiety combined with her powers create this nightmare type creature in her subconscience that is lurking in the shadows every time they send her to this "void." When she panics after touching it that one time, not only does her freak out cause enough energy to rip open a hole between the real world and a parellel dimension, but it also pulls this monster out of her subconscience and into real life.
That could explain why the monster couldn't be defeated until she chose not to be afraid of it anymore. It was her own fear that created it, it could only be her standing up to it that could kill it. Also when she apologizes to the boys for being the monster, maybe she actually did mean that literally if she finally understood where it came from - her own fear.
I by no means think that is what happened. Just a "what if" I threw out to my old lady after we finished the series tonight.
And maybe upside down world didn't become dark and twisted looking until it was tainted by the monster? That has nothing to do with El creating the monster theory, just another theory on why the parellel dimension is straight out of a Silent Hill video game. Once subjected to this evil, it becomes tainted.

Curious as to why the sheriff got in the black car at the end and what was the purpose of the box.
some kind of agreement that he wouldn't go after Eleven in the alternate world.
no way hopper would let that girl live in the alternate world and be treated like that unless they were basically forcing him to.
but he still goes and feeds her and tries to take care of her as best he can, as we see.

steve was super frat. he got a little soft at the end, but him saving the day with nance and jonathon was good.
i still love steve.
overall, the characters in this show are just amazing. i enjoy the characters more than the storyline. not that the storyline was bad.

What caused the portal to open? Was it caused by the DOE during experiments. I had the impression that they opened it (as in the Mist) but maybe it was stumbled upon in the lab.
Maybe (leakage) caused the opening in the tree?

I think it was 11, her power was much stronger than she knew and while using her power to spy on the Russians she "crossed over" into the upside down.

I like how they showed the two realms just like a recent remake of a popular flick from 1982.

Just finished this yesterday. It was great. Looking forward to season 2.

Did not read thread. Just finished episode 6. Wow, This is good. I don't want it to end.

The theory going on right now is that eleven is the monster.
It's her dual personality. The demogorgon had two heads... her stress created it.. it's hand goes up when her hand goes up. And then they both disappear.
The secret government agents knew this.. They come to kill el.. No eleven, no monster. .
It's got holes.. But it the current hot interwebs theory

Damn you could be on to something. I'm wondering how exactly she found the monster in the first place if this pitch black place only consists of what she is searching for, she wasn't looking for the monster, it found her. So this makes me think the monster is some side effect of her having these powers. Idk I'm starting to confuse myself

Was a good series.. I wonder if it gets another season where they will go from here. Did the parallel world vanish? Was that the only monster? Is Eleven well and alive?

Makes a lot of sense... also anytime she seemed to be using her power this was also the same timing that Will was able to contact mother.
Also where ever Eleven was the monster wasn't up until the end.

If El is the monster then how were they both in the room at the end?

I found myself hoping the black kid would get eaten.
What an annoying count.
