7) What Deal Has Hopper Made?
Sheriff Jim Hopper started out on the show as the stereotypical downbeat cop, but we grew to see him as the tragic hero that he really was. However, it seems that in saving Will Byer’s life he had to make a move to the dark side.
One perplexing scene in the season finale sees him getting into a car with some shady government types, presumably representatives from Hawkins Research Labs. What exactly did Hopper agree to in exchange for reclaiming Will from the Upside Down? Has he just made a deal with the devil?
There was also a moment where he left Eleven’s favourite food in a box in the woods. Does he know something we don’t know about what’s going on with her?
[zergpaid]6) Is Eleven Really Gone?
The breakout character of Stranger Things has got to be Eleven, a cross between Jean Grey and Frankenstein’s Monster wrapped in a 12 year old girl. Young British actress Millie Bobby Brown gave an outstanding performance in a very challenging role, so it would be a big shame if the character’s apparent end in the finale turned out to be for real.
Crucially, Eleven merely disappeared when she destroyed the creature. By the rules of TV – if there is not a body, they probably aren’t dead – she could well be alive. Perhaps Mike, Dustin and Lucas will have to venture into the Upside Down to retrieve her in season two? Either that, or she will make a triumphant comeback all on her own at some point.
