uh get a ride or something
I’m abandoned by best friend Nancy barb

genuinely creepy note as barb finds
herself at the monsters mercy while
Nancy loses her virginity to Steve poor

developed a cult following almost
instantly who knows if it’s the last

yeah number 811 opens portal farther
than we’ve ever gotten before with a
shaved head a limited vocabulary and
telekinetic powers eleven orell as her
friends call her is a mystery wrapped in
an enigma smothered in secret sauce
while she’s somehow connected to the
demagogue inand the upside down it’s
unclear how this little girl fits into
the puzzle the pieces start falling into
place in this flashback as Elle recalls
an ill-fated day at Hawkins laboratory
submerged in a sensory deprivation tank
Ellie uses her abilities to locate a
Russian secret agent going deeper than
ever before she not only finds the
Soviet spy but a monster

gate
I opened it number seven stuffed with
fluff you know I forgot my hat
oh he admitted the showrunners threw a
curveball at the audience when wills
body was uncovered at the quarry while
part of us suspected that he was somehow
still alive this twist raised numerous
questions nonetheless fortunately we
didn’t have to wait long to get some
answers
hey you can’t be back here yeah I just
got off the line with O’Bannon he said
that he needs to see you at the station
and some emergency the hell you talking
about

suspicion Chief Jim hopper decides to
get a closer look at wills corpse
although the body seems authentic on the
outside hopper isn’t so sure conducting
a makeshift autopsy he discovers that
wills innards are actually cotton it’s a
truly shocking moment that had us all on
pins and needles
number six Mike and 11 kiss are you
feeling any better although the series
has it’s darker scenes they are balanced
with many sweet and humorous moments wow
she looks great
good anything involving my kandel is
bound to put a smile on your face and
the romance between these two kids peaks
in the season one finale as Mike and L
discussed the future my mom she’s a
pretty awesome cook

goes well yeah it goes but real food too
Mike promises to take L in and make her
a part of his family but tries to make
it clear that she wouldn’t be his sister
Nancy she’ll be like your new sister
will you be like my brother
what no hoping to get out of the
friendzone Mike confesses his feelings
and asks his crush to the snowball dance
maybe we can go to the snowball together
snowball
it’s his cheesy school dance where you
go in the gym and dance to music and
stuff his declaration of love comes
complete with a kiss amounting to the
most precious moment in the series thus
far
number five trapping the demagogue on
you kids doing with all this monster
hunting Steve Harrington might have
started out as a possessive jerk but he
finds redemption as season one nears its
close and kicks into high gear
regretting his poor behavior Steve
knocks on Jonathan’s door to make amends
he couldn’t have picked a worse time to
drop by however as Jonathan and Nancy
are trying to lure the demagogue on deep
well get out wherever what what is going
on you have five seconds to get out
here’s the choke stop following the
initial attack Steve decides to make a
break for it as the lights flicker on
and off though the reformed bad boy
realizes that he can’t leave Nancy and
Jonathan to face the monster alone in a
scene that had a screaming and cheering
simultaneously Steve comes to the rescue
and the three set the creature ablaze so
are you team Jonathan or team Steve
number four Mike jumps you make that
jump from this height that water turns
into cement hits you like a ton of
bricks break every damn bone in your
body as chief Hopper points out early on
in the series jumping off the Cory’s
cliff is destined to end badly when a
couple of bullies threaten Dustin
however Mike is forced to endanger his
own well-being Jim a toothless here gets
an early trip to the dentist
oh yeah hearts stopped when Mike walked
over the edge
we were able to sigh in relief though as
he began levitating in midair
sighs turned to Cheers as ell shows up
just in time to save her friends and
give the bullies a piece of her powerful
mind go in this triumphant moment
Dustin yells loud and clear that he
accepts 11y better on leave our prodigy

isn’t a monster they all share a loving
embrace Oh

me touch me where are you by writing the
alphabet on the wall when setting up
some Christmas lights
Joyce is able to make contact with her
missing son right here spelling out
words with the lights will informs his
mother that he’s alive although nowhere
near safe how do I find you what should
I do
through one three-letter word will tells
his mom to get out of the house as the
demagogue in emerges out of the wall
Joyce takes her son’s advice and runs
reminiscent of poltergeist and a
Nightmare on Elm Street the scene
flawlessly mixes elements of fantasy and
horror overflowing with suspense and
dread it left us all covered in goose
bumps and eager for more number two
wills rescue this is the moment that the
entire first season had been building to
it it more than delivered wearing hazmat
suits
chief hopper and Joyce boldly ventured
through the gate to rescue will giving
viewers their best look into the upside
down so far upon discovering an
unconscious will hopper Yanks a
grotesque creature out of his mouth and
performs CPR
[Music]
as will is revived the audience finally

separation

his own child come on

some honorable mentions do you know
where he is
[Music]
[Music]
number one goodbye Mike come on Jim
hold on a little longer okay 11 has
undeniably been responsible for some of
the show’s most badass moments like when
she stared down the bad men and made
their brains explode however her
definitive moment occurs during the
final confrontation with the demagogue
on when Lucas’s slingshot proves
ineffective Elle uses her powers to
press the monster up against the wall

for her friends l bids Myka
heartbreaking farewell goodbye Mike she
