I wonder if Hawking's PD has any memory, because it's kind of strange that they'll have all these unexplainable events and nobody can recall anything about what happened in the past. Nobody was even questioning why all the bodies look the same, that they're all broken beyond conventional means!
None of them even referenced to the past events, the monster corpse found in the mall fire! It's as if all of it has been scrubbed away and nobody has been allowed into the details.
Major said, "I can make the pain end. Where's the girl?"
The tortured suit gasped, "I don't know..."
"There are two proposed explanations for what's happening. Explanation one, an invisible boogeyman from another dimension is slaughtering these kids. Explanation two, Dr Brenner's special little pet has gone rogue again, and he and his lackeys are now seeking to cover it up. Perhaps in the hopes of selling their pet to the Soviets. Now, which explanation sounds plausible to you?"
First one Major, cause for a patriotic doctor to go rogue the government has to become tyrannical. But the suit never offered that one. Instead, he opted for more torture. Good man goes to hell for good causes. Bad man yields and laughs, as the madness descends on him.
Chemicals, videotapes and a sensory deprivation tank. What could go wrong? Dr Brenner offered an explanation in the form of PTSD's and memory blocks. I most certainly have a few of them, and I just don't want to remember them. El to gain her powers back through a recall, would mean that she had her powers all her life and none of the kids in the Hawking's basement were a test-tube designs. Even though the number suggests such a thing.
"You have demons in your past. That's why we have to go through one memory at the time. If we go too fast, I'm afraid you could become lost in the darkness. And if you're lost... so are we all."
That is such a chilling line, because it suggests that there's nothing we can do to dimensional beings.
In the memory training, we learned about the Number 1, but not about what happened to him. El didn't approach the question either, about where he came from, as I doubt that the Number 1 was the first one. He might have been the first one that they tested things, but not the first that did things.
The biggest revelation was that "Papa never tells the truth." Not all of it.
He said nothing about the real objective, in the circle-of-strength test. What makes 11 and 1 specials out of all kids? Was the aid Number 1?
At least now we know that bullying makes her see red.
They need a better transport. Maybe a green hippie bus would do it, because they're monster hunters, like the Scoopy Gang. Expect they don't have a dog.
I facepalmed and laughed when Eddie called in the walkie and the gang answered right next to sheriff's media brief. Why they didn't turn it down or told him, "I call you in a minute...?" No, just answering and yelling into thing, "Where are you?"
I guess we are lucky that nobody was listening or doing Signal Intelligence. Although I suspect that some ham operator, which was popular back in the eighties, could have been listening in, but no action was taken to inform the authorities.
The whole town turned moron's when Jason opened his mouth at the Town Hall meeting. Why is that they don't have any clue about what their kids are doing or what the roleplaying club means?
Jason went and spread out lies at front of sheriff and the Hawking's officials. Nobody telling him to back up his fabrications on the truth.
At least the Scoopy gang, in the meeting with Eddie, finally understood the correlation between electrics and the demon breaking into our dimension. All thanks to Dustin realising that his compass wasn't wrong, but actually pointing towards a dimensional gate to Vecna's h*ll.
They do not look like they drove all night long in a pizza van. Ironed shirts. Washed hair. Clean clothes. I absolutely loved that Argyle fell for the lady in the house, Eden. It was so funny, but that's how fast chemistry works when you're a young adult.
What I didn't approve was Suzy doing engineering. It just didn't fit the picture. But when she told the story about the computer, I got her. I just wondered why she had not got her machine back all on her own.
When she started talking about tracing IP and datamining back in the 86 ... I just dropped the pen and focused on enjoying Cornelius pranks. The details writers, the details!
Traceroute, 1987!

Data mining, goes back 1960's, but was first time introduced in the IT jargon at 1990! It didn't become a popular word until much, much later, around 95 and in the peasants, after 2015.

Fitting punishment for the traitor. I hoped Yuri froze his balls, while he sat on the ground. No such luck. At least Joyce found hers, as she used Yuri's unfortunate condition against him. It worked fast as the ******* offered guys, cars and a plan to attack the prison.
Why would you trust him? They kept him tied, but not gagged until Murrey sprang his plan.
In the prison scene, somehow Hopper had found polished shoes, and he wasn't limping again, even though you could assume that those shoes were rubbing his wounds. But he most certainly had the right attitude (get absolutely wasted) before facing the monster. If his theory is correct, then why the monster would bother with a drunkard that can't even stand up, than getting that thrill of hunt from other ones?
But Hopper had a better plan. Getting into the fight and thrown back into a cell before facing the monster. What a man.
Is Steve going to survive his trip to hell?
