Stranger Things...

If you have Netflix, it's very likely you will have heard of Stranger Things. In fact, even if you HAVEN'T got Netflix, it's still very likely you know about this. If you don't, where the hell has you been?

This 8 part series is Horror, Supernatural story, set in the 1980's in a small town names Hawkins. The story follows 3 boys, intent on finding their friend Will, who disappeared one night after a table top game campaign.  I cannot express how much I LOVE IT. As the story progresses, we meet more characters, and the boys, the head of the police, Will's mother and more, get tangled up in a world of supernatural beings, parallel universes and more.

And that was the spoiler free part of this blog post. If you wanna go watch it yourself, you might not wanna carry on.

Anyway, I loved the first season of Stranger things, and I'm very excited for 2017, when the confirmed season two is realeased. Of course, I have so many questions about the end of the finale: Where is 11? Will Nancy and Jonathan get together? What's wrong with Will? My favourite characters were Eleven, Dustin, and Jonathan. What were your? I also have many theories on how the stories of the main characters will progress, which I'd love to share with you. Here we go:

Hopper:
We know that when he was at Hawkins Lab, he made a promise that as long as they let him go into the upside down, and didn't harm Mike, Lucas and Dustin, he would never tell anyone that the lab was involved in the crimes AND that he would tell them where eleven was. Obviously we know that Eleven has gone somewhere, or died, but I think the reason he is leaving egos in the box is to lure her back, and then pass her back to the Bad Men at Hawkins lab to fulfil his side of the agreement. This would make a lot of sense, as after Will was rescued, and was in hospital, we saw the chief with someone looked as if he was one of the Bad Men, and we then saw him get into a car that I assume belonged to them. Is he planning on working with them?

Will:
At the end, Will throws up slugs (ewww gross) he then flashes back to the upside down, and sees the bathroom in the upside down. Something tells me that's not normal, surely something must be wrong with him. I think that because he was exposed to the toxic air and horrors of the upside down, he has somehow caught a disease or something, that WON'T kill him but will just turn him into another monster, or worse. In fact, I think part of him already is a monster, since when he sat back down he said he was fine, and didn't tell anyone that something was wrong with him. That doesn't seem like what Will would do, or in fact, what anyone would do in that situation. Surely he would want to tell his family, so they could get whatever it was sorted out, and escape the upside down forever? What if part of him is already changing into something bad?

Nancy, Jonathan and Steve:
A lot of people hate Steve Harrington, to be honest, I don't blame them. We all remember Steve offering to help clean the "Nancy the slut" graffiti off the cinema? My theory for this one is that the producer want to keep, so he can be a main character in Season 2. That's probably why we have seen so much of him being nice in the last couple of episodes. He hit the monster with a bat, even after leaving the house. I just think they don't want to lose this character yet. There is a lot more interesting things they could do with him. By leaving him and Nancy together, they can use him more, as then he won't be forgotten like Bar.... Sorry, we don't mention that name. Don't want anyone to start crying. Plus, this means they can make more sensitive and romantic moments between Nancy and Jonathan without them physically dating. If they decide that Nancy and Steve just isn't working, they can easily kill him off in an emotional way to make us all sob.

Lonnie:
This isn't really a long detailed theory. I'm just mentioning that I think he will definetly make an appearance next season, and maybe be a lot more protagonisty. That's a real word, promise.

This does NOT mean I like him, he was a dick to Joyce and Jonathan. Calling Joyce a bad parent was bad enough, but that's not even mentioning that he wasn't even there for Will and Jonathan. What a hypocrite.

And that's all my theories exhausted. Let's see how many I get right. I'd love to hear yours too :)
