Warning: There are major spoilers ahead for "Stranger Things."
Netflix's latest breakout series "Stranger Things" has television fans abuzz with curiosity. From hidden (and sometimes obvious) horror movie references to an amazing soundtrack, "Stranger Things" gives viewers plenty to think about. We watched all eight episodes twice, and still found ourselves dwelling on certain storylines and character fates left open-ended.
Scroll down for a look at our top burning questions.
What deal did Hopper really make with Hawkins Lab?
Police chief Jim Hopper agreed to tell Dr. Brenner where Eleven was hiding in exchange for being allowed to enter the alternate Upside Down reality and find Will. But is that really all there was to it? We got the sense that a larger conversation happened offscreen between Hopper and Brenner.
Brenner knew Hopper had the ability to blow the lid on the purpose of Hawkins Lab. Odds are Brenner required more than the police chief's word before he trusted him. This suspicion of ours was compounded when Hopper got picked up by a mysterious car outside the hospital.
Who picked up Hopper? Who is running Hawkins lab now?
In the finale, both Dr. Brenner and his main henchwoman were killed at the middle school. So who took over at Hawkins Lab? And did that unknown person order more security personnel to the hospital in order to scoop up Hopper? We got the impression that Hopper was fulfilling the end of some bargain, since he seemed unsurprised by the car's appearance and entered without fight.
Where is Eleven? Did she survive and does Hopper know?
El seemed to believe that killing the Demagorgon would kill her too — the effort of using her powers so much was too much to handle. Viewers were left thinking she had exploded right along with the Demagorgon, especially after her tearful goodbye to Mike. But is she really gone?
Hopper left food in a small cubby built in the Mirkwood area. It wasn't just any food, but El's favorite: Eggo waffles. We were left to assume that El is somehow either in the Upside Down or hiding in the forest somewhere, and Hopper knows it. So why hasn't he told anyone? Is she still in danger from the Hawkins Lab staff?
