this is the kind of episode I can see people hating, as it's pretty out of place - mainly in terms of the storytelling, but thematically and tonally it fits in beautifully. Netflix shows that release entire seasons at once tend to have a lack of standalone episodes that are really solid when taken out and viewed on their own, and ST isn't immune to that (it's hard to be when a show has to be bingeable, you need to keep people on the edge of their seats). I thought this episode, though, was amazing in itself, it's the kind of episode that could carry you through a week of waiting for the next ep, if this show aired normally. Really fantastic word building and characterisation that makes the story incredibly engaging
@compound, thank you! This was not the worst episode at all, just different. The worst episode was in S1 in which the plot holes covered the entire of Hawkins.
