This is the worst episode of the worst season of Stranger Things. Don’t get me wrong!! I am a HUGE fan of this show. Stranger Things season 2 is also a GREAT season. So that says a lot about how amazing season 3 and 4 actually are. It just gets better and better. But this episode is not their best.

I think if they hadn’t made the group so outlandish with their stereotypical “bad guy” looks and cast them slightly differently, it might have gone differently. I don’t think the actors sold me on the characters.

Not going to lie, I skipped your reaction to this episode. I think the placement of this episode is really bad. I like how they give El an entire episode, but in a way, I think they gave her an entire episode for the wrong reason/substance.

I think this episode had some substance to it, but the timing was just wrong, having it so late in the season when things were taking off in the main storyline. It should have been earlier in the season, and only as shorter scenes integrated with other main character storylines.

With the past being revealed in season 4 seeming so different from this, I don’t know how they can reconcile the differences of what supposedly happened at Hawkins Lab when 11 was little. This is the first time I noticed the TV screen ended with the number 8 right when 11 left her mom’s house to go find 8.

A full drink during the intro and the episode. And another half in the outro.. Onto the next!

I'm watching this 8 and 9 playing the drinking game. Wish me luck!

Netflix wanted a spin off and forced this into existence. El's story was clearly meant to be with her mom and aunt and then returning to her current family. This was shoe horned in and so widely hated they scrapped the spin off plan

Kevin Landon

The writers thought they cooked with this one, but got such negative feedback they decided to never go back to this storyline. So much for Mama knows best

Maisie

Honestly Answer has so much patience with the repetitions of “I don’t remember.” At this point I think 8 just made MQ *think* he watched the series.

I have always liked this episode. El is out in the world having all of these 1st time experiences on her own. She FINALLY meets someone like herself. She doesn't feel so alone. She learns how to draw on her powers and she decides for herself where she needs to be and what is important to her. Also, I have to say this, back in the 80s more times than not that older woman on the bus would have looked out for El like she was her own family. Even back then it wasn't safe for a young girl to travel like that. Just by sitting there next to El might have prevented a bad situation. (of course not knowing El is a super hero). On to the next episode. Thank You for the triple drop!
