‘Stranger Things’: Where The Hell is Eleven?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at App State chapter.

Not that long ago, Netflix graced us with their new original series, Stranger Things. Easily the most binge-watchable, nail biting show streaming to date. If you haven’t watched this show, stop reading this article and watch it! So far we have only been blessed with season one, but luckily, season two is set to be released next year. However, season one has left us with many questions…

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

1. Will Eleven ever learn that Eggos are better served with butter and syrup?

I mean I get that Eggos are much easier to eat with your hands, but it’s a little savage, Eleven…

2. Are we ever going to learn about 001–010? Who were/are those people?

It’s safe to assume that there were/are 10 others of whatever the hell Eleven is.

3. Did Lucas and Dustin’s parents even care that they were never home?

DO THEIR PARENTS NOT LOVE THEM? I would totally adopt Lucas. Lil nugget!

4. Is Barb really dead?

Not that anyone would care since no one even batted an eye that she was missing in the first place.

5. Is Brenner actually Eleven’s father or does she just call him Papa because he’s the main man in her life?

I, personally, believe that Brenner is a freakin’ weirdo that has brainwashed Eleven into thinking so, but he isn’t really. Who would bone him?

6. Is Dr. Brenner actually dead?

As great as that would be, we only saw the Demogorgon potentially swallow him, but, from the angle they showed us, nothing is definitive.

7. Who is in charge of that freakish, government lab now that Brenner is “dead”?

Although Brenner might not actually be dead, it’s a fair question.

8. Why does Eleven’s nose bleed when she controls anything with her mind?

This doesn’t seem very healthy…

9. Did the Demogorgon ACTUALLY die?

I mean it just evaporated, but did it teleport somewhere else because it’s the Demogorgon and it can do some crazy shit?

10. What does the monster want anyways?!

Like what’s his deal?

11. Is that ACTUALLY Will, or an Upside Down version of Will?

It would be like an evil, demented Will now after the Upside Down messed with him.

12. Why is Eleven’s language so limited?

She understands Dr. Brenner, but she doesn’t seem to understand most other people.

13. How did Will survive in the Upside Down for so long?

I would hope he wasn’t eating those weird slugs all that time.

14. HOW THE HELL did Will’s mom and Chief Hopper get out of the Upside Down?

Since the Upside Down is a literal prison and all.

15. What deal did Hopper make with those government people after they rescued Will?

It must’ve been preeeeeetty big.

16. How are they going to explain to everyone else in town that Will is actually alive?

Some resurrection shit.

17. Is Eleven still alive?

Going to answer this one myself because it’s the most important question of them all. In the finale, we see Hopper leaving out some Eggo’s in the middle of the woods (typical Eleven). It’s safe to say that she is, as many sources have set this claim. 

We can’t wait for season two of Stranger Things!
