re: Stranger Things: Season 1 ****SPOILERS**** Discussion Thread

I thought the show was great up until the ending. For some reason, the climax and defeat of the monster just laid there for me. However, the show recaptured my attention at the very end when Will coughed up the worm and the real world switched to the upside down for a few seconds.

I want to know why Hopper got in the black car. I want to know if Eleven is still alive out there. And I want to know more about Eleven's past. Is she a real child that was abducted? I think the show alluded to that and maybe I missed it. Is her mom Terry Yves?

We binged this show yesterday and it was a treat. What great style and music behind it. I like the complexity of the characters. I'm supposed to think Steve is a douche, and he is sometimes...but then he's nice, like when he tried to make out with Nancy and she rejected him in her room, and he kept helping her study. I thought that was a great job by the writers showing us there's more to Steve than being a douchebag.
