Now that Netflix has renewed Stranger Things for season 2, viewers eagerly anticipate answers to unresolved mysteries.
This article contains a ton ofStranger Thingsspoilers.
Warning, season one spoilers ahead!
Why did Hopper get into the car with the government officials?
Should he have told them to get lost?
Or did they have something specific in mind for him?
Why the bad guys would need or want his help remains a mystery.
What was the Department of Energy up to, and where do they go from here?
Whats left for Hopper to be complicit in, though, if that is indeed whats going on?
Its also possible that, following the unexpected discovery of the Upside Down and its (sole?)
inhabitant, the mission of the government project shifted towards weaponizing the creature.
What do the waffles suggest about Elevens continued existence?
Surely Hops offering isnt merely symbolic!
Why did Will survive where Barb couldnt?
What does Wills coughing fit mean for his future?
Why did Nancy choose Steve instead of Jonathan?
Were the writers seeking a moment of realistic imperfection to temper the otherwise happy family reunion?
Certainly there were other tainted resolutions, but none quite as bittersweet as Nancy choosing the wrong guy.
There are other open-ended elements ofStranger Thingsthat could feed audience speculation during the hiatus as well.
Might Hopper forge a closer relationship with Joyce Byers?
Have we seen the last of Dr. Brenner (the Duffers say no!)?
Will the pants-pissing Troy seek revenge now that Elle isnt around to protect Dustin, Mike, and Lucas?
But its fun to try.
