Eleven
Who wins in a duel between Eleven and Rey (The Force Awakens)? @alatinolawyer
Winona Ryder makes a comeback and other casting choices
The D&D connection
The Upsidedown
Are the adults in Stranger Things too quick to accept the supernatural they encounter? @alatinolawyer
Some outlets have been criticizing the portrayal of the female characters - is this warranted?
Did Barb deserve better? (spoiler: yes) @The_Dec_Webb
What did you think of Nancy staying with Steve at the end? @Matteo138
Why was this show such a hit?
Was it a mistake to show the monster?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on practical vs digital creature effects. Did it work here? What would you change? @mustyhobbit
Do you want a second season where the kids are grown up and awkward? A completely different season 2? Or no new season? @xhugglesx
