What like one of the main bad guys that looked like Arnold and would not die even when shot... it was more than a wink.

Yeah the duffer bros were very excited about the "bad arnold" they made this season. I really enjoyed the character. He died in a badass way too..... unlike Hopper... who is still very much alive... i hope.

For those questioning the mall in small town Hawkins, you forget that small town Jasper, MO had a mall and getting a JCPenny in 1989. All Jasper had was a hospital, general store (blown up), car dealership (driven through), and a bar called the Double Deuce. Population couldn't have been more than 200 tops.

I think Hopper jumped into the upside down. Look at the railing he was on compared to the russians that were in the room. Hoppers railing was fine. I wouldnt be surprised if he is the American at the end of the credits.

I also cant cope with the way the season ended and im a bit of a emotional mess right now.

Edit: El also cant use her powers so she cant really see if Hopper is alive or dead. Makes for another interesting twist. Season 4 is going to be epic!


This. He had no choice but to jump into the gate.

I think this too - but - what's on the other side of the gate? Russia?

or do you think he jumped into the gate, went into the upside down, and the russians have found their way around in there and they captured him?

But what if they pull a GoT and kill off the adult lead male? It's a bit late in the series to be doing this but wow

Something like this, I'm sure.

Are there more demigorgans in the upside down, still? The one in Russia was not the same from season 1, correct?

Theres no reason we shouldnt believe that there were more portals to the upside down open in hawkins. They have a demogorgan. That creature alone could open portals whenever it wanted. My point is, its almost easier and more interesting to write Hopper to still be alive than not. A lot of very good avenues the story can go with.

We didn't see any limit on the number of demogorgans. I thought the ones in Hawkins were killed off or disappeared when the gate was closed. But there still could be any number of them in The Upside Down, right? Which would mean the Russians could conceivably be bringing more in.

If there were portals to the Upside Down open, then why did the Meat Flayer die when they closed the portal? Shouldn't the existence of another portal provide a link to the Upside Down?

Really loved this season....

I've read a lot of people online saying that they hope Hopper is really dead, because if he's not it lowers the emotional stakes of this season. My take is, that I don't care and I want more Hopper.

That said, I think the American is Russia is probably Brenner. That's why we don't have to go to Russia, but Russia brings him to Hawkins to "unlock" El. Hopper is in the upside down and El rescues him.

I could easily see a rescue mission to save Hopper but I hope it's not one that requires him to be trapped or in a jail cell until the last episode (or penultimate one) as I think it will severely limit the character. Of course, if it means he's still alive I'll take it.

My guess is that because it took place in the summer, they wanted a summer release, and 2018 was too soon.

It's been weeks since I finished watching season 3, but I woke up this morning with a couple totally random and practical theories to set up season 4.

1. The portal to the upside down can somehow also be used as a teleporter and there's a second machine in Russia. This explains where Hopper went (straight to Siberia), how so many Russians managed to get into Hawkins (they teleported there), and why the Russians were interested in the machine (a teleportation invasion of the West). Teleportation also allows you to quickly reunite the characters from across the world next season without having to come up with a reason for everyone to fly to Siberia.

2. The Russians learned about the portals from El. Remember how the scientists in season 1 were having her use her powers to spy on the Russians? Also remember how touching the Demigorgon made it aware of her? Perhaps she touched a Russian scientists and that made him aware of her in her lab in Hawkins and then they started researching and building their own device to access the upside down and maybe even that black space she goes when blindfolded. I also think it's a safe bet the evil "Papa" scientist helped them.
Thanks and gig'em

Oh no.... i had a important theory just hit me too.... what if the American that is alive in Russia is El's papa. Remember in S3 when possessed Billy said he was still alive? It would make sense. I wonder if anyone has thought about this or made that connection.

The show doesn't really have emotional stakes, as it's ultimately an homage to the shows in the 80s that... really didn't have any true emotional stakes.

Bob from S2 was probably the most significant character to die in all three seasons of this show.

No, 8 said Papa was alive but it was her mind trick.
It was actually the former lab worker that they were about to kill who said he was alive.

That reminds me. The other day I caught a few minutes of San Andreas on tv. Who should I see? America's newest sweetheart, Alexi.

His character you ask? A scientist... named Alexi
