The worst episode by far, with weak story points and so many loopholes.
The only good bits were with the children, and a look into Jonathan's character.
I absolutely hate Nancy's and Lucas' characters. They're annoying, and Lucas' is just plain negative and obnoxious.
I adore Dustin, Joyce, Hopper, Will, and Eleven.
[SPOILERS]
What infuriates me the most is when the good guys are the ones caught or killed.
I fell in love with Benny, yet it was just the first episode, but the Staties were idiots to kill him. They could've just taken Eleven while letting Benny believe they were Child Services.
He was kind and sweet, yet naive and "too nice" to be "smart enough" to not get killed, apparently. I HATED that scene. I cried.
Barb. Another sweet character I've fallen for, but a sensible and cautious one. Also, someone not like the others. I wish it were Nancy instead, as she brings nothing to the show except her so-called "Ms. Perfect-ness", which is just "being dumb". But, of course, "plot".
I love Hopper, but this episode was idiotic. How they didn't catch him while he was out cutting the fence, I was smh. Then, inside, when he locked himself in, eyeroll. The weirdest thing would be the researchers finally getting ahold of him but not killing him. Of course, they would kill Benny but not Hopper, who had seen literally everything.
Yes. Stupid Nancy went inside the tree. Alone. Without telling Jonathan. Then she shone her flashlight on the monster instead of switching it off. At least she's in the other dimension so, hopefully, the monster eats her. Lol.
Jonathan is definitely a character with lots of potential to grow.
Why didn't Hopper ransack Joyce's place for bugs? That was lazy.
Lucas deserved to be hit on the head. Mean and vicious. My dear Eleven. I hope she's safe somewhere.
