Mr. Sinister Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Spoiler Im not so sure El is dead. In one of the final scenes, Hop is treading through the woods all secretive like, and places some waffles and something else in a bag. I didn't take it as a memorial, but rather she is still alive, or somehow trapped in the Upside Down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they mistreated her character (both the characters and the writers). But the fact that she ISN'T dead, and perhaps realizes what she was to everyone, turns her further to 'the dark side' if you will? Who knows!

Mr. Sinister Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yeah i didnt know if that had been explored yet or not, as ive avoided all trailers (I like surprises). Your theory is sound though, which could explain why Spoiler Hop would want to keep her existence a secret, and maybe for now, even she doesn't want to be near the boys, out of fear that she might hurt them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the point of the last waffles scene. She is living out in the woods somewhere on her own and he somehow knows this and is dropping off her favorite food.

codeorama Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Finished season 2 this weekend. Loved it. There was one episode I didn't care for and to be honest, really couldn't stand the Dustin character. Beyond that, great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinssRvA Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Finished the show and my thoughts are below. Spoilers, obviously. Spoiler I thought the first season was a 9/10. Really, really good show loved the vibe and characters. All of it. I thought Season 2 was a 7/10. Good, not great. The episode you folks are talking about is one reason, and the other is the ending. Close the gate? That's what we've got? And a looming overlord presence? I guess I feel like not much changed from episode 1 to episode 9, that's the main gripe. I also don't like the chemistry between Nancy and Jonathan. Feels very forced to me. I did think both Max and Billy were good characters, but I struggle to see what the point of their inclusion is/was. Max I guess I get but what is the point of Billy? I plan on eventually watching season 1 through 2 again and then I'll see if I changed my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just got caught up on it. Loved it. Might have even been better than the first overall, despite lacking the new and freshness of season 1. I enjoyed episode 7 too, The Lost Sister. It never felt right that 11 was the only child experimented on so expanding the world and giving her that connection to another child there made sense. Plus, here she learns to focus her anger to increase her powers which she needs later on. We got to see 11’s humanity in that despite all the horrible things done to her (and her mother) she has a good heart and won’t just murder those responsible. It also gave us one of the best moments of the series: “There is nothing for you back there. They cannot save you.” “no, but I can save them.” (thunderous applause and cheers) i dont think it'll be a spin off but I wouldn’t be surprised if they have an eye to a future season where the situation will be bleak and 11 will reach out to 8 again for help. Keeps it from being a deus ex machina since she was introduced and fleshed out here. There were some flaws and a lot of unanswered questions but that could be setup again. I didn’t have a big problem with the closing of the hole being the climax since that has been the problem since the beginning of the series. But it’ll apparently always be out there and I don’t know how they can finish everything off and what connection the lab/experiments have had on the upside down and why it all seems to come together at this one town. I will say the final dance scene is probably one of the sweetest and cutest things I’ve ever seen. I legit cried thru it. Dustin styling his hair like his new hero Steve. Trying to find a partner and ultimately failing and crying on the bleachers when Nancy comes to dance with him. Then Mike all alone until 11 shows up in her little dress. Geez it was just perfect with the songs and everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 I’m a bit leery about this becoming Netflix’s flagship show now that House or Cards is done. It’s a great show, don’t get me wrong, but it isn’t epic, it isn’t serious and it doesn’t have any big name actors (who will later turn out to be gay sexual harassers). It could ruin Netflix like TWD ruined AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetgirl78 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Great show! Loved season 2 ! Best part it has all the cool things that made classic movies of the 80s ! Plus neat science fiction to boot! Can’t wait for season 3 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I loved season 2, but 9 episodes a year just isn't enough for me. I need more! As for the lost sister episode, I thought that was put in to set the stage for a possible season three plot line. It didn't just establish the existence of another gifted child, it suggested that Dr. Martin Brenner (aka Papa) is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
