Chapter Nine: The Gate

Discuss the ninth episode of season 2 here.

My favorite scene of this episode was when Eleven walked into Will’s house, and everyone was so shocked. Her reunion with Mike was amazing. The dance at the end was really cute too. I loved how Nancy asked Dustin to dance.

Eleven's reaction (or lack of) to Max was ICE cold   Loved seeing her reunited with the boys and Joyce. Underrated relationships right there

Nancy for the win, I felt so good when she "saved" Dustin, it was an amazing thing todo along with the massive boost she gave him in confidence by telling him he was her favourite of every friend of Mike's and that girls will go nuts for him, great writing.

Then the scene with Hopper and Eleven in the car, amazing dialog and bonding, also the scene with Mike and Hopper "fighting", great acting and just perfectly dramatic.

GOD I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THIS EPISODE.

Neither Mike nor Eleven were open to a new face in the group.  Kind of feel bad for Max.  Her brother being abusive, parents never being around and all.

I'm hoping the wild reactions to Max is setting up to friendships and loyalty being won in season 3. Seems the reactions in season 2 need to lead to something.
