Stranger Things Season 2 'Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister' REACTION!!

[@eringoblah]

The old lady at the end was just making sure the little girl mysteriously alone on a bus was OK. The show just makes people way too paranoid, haha.

[@TheNaughtyFrench]

actually I'm glad she was asking if the little girl was okay I would be surprised she didn't...

[@jacklighter5084]

I feel like what he said why would she talk to you would be appropriate to say if it was a sketchy grown man

[@jjc5871]

Things were very different in the 80s. Talking to strangers was normal. Especially if it was a kid on a bus by themself. That’s not something people used to ignore.

[@Cassxowary]

@@jjc5871 yahh, and I'd still deffo ask if I saw a kid by themself at night, 80s or not...

[@jjc5871]

@@Cassxowary I’m sure plenty of people would, but many people won’t anymore. I don’t remember where this happened, and trying to find it only brings up some random dude slapping a kid that isn’t his, but there was a story about a little girl that was alone and crying in a store and a guy walked past her as quickly as he could. A woman asked him why he didn’t stop to help or see what was wrong and he said he didn’t want to be accused of being a pedophile. There have been multiple stories of women being attacked, physically and sexually, and no one, especially men, doing nothing to try to help because they no longer want to get involved and possibly be falsely accused for one thing or another. There was a woman being raped on a Philadelphia subway last year, in front of a bunch of other passengers, and not a single person tried to help her. Hell they didn’t even call the police right away. With the way the world works today, here in the US anyway, you get falsely accused of all kinds of stupid shit no matter it is you’re actually doing, especially if you’re a guy. Hell touching a woman on the shoulder or even simply saying “hello” to a woman on the street is being called “sexual assault” by a certain group of halfwits. Personally, I don’t think no longer stopping to help people is the right way to go about it though.

[@vlonewolfv]

Th only difference between 8 and 11 is that El found a family and became safe after escaping the facility. Her murdering people and straight up stealing from the grocery store are exactly what 8 is doing. It’s just that 8 never had a home to temper her.

[@MARYWTHER]

Eh. El has been murdering A LOT of people and viewers seem to forget that (I mean... guilty people but take the poor dude in the woods? I mean, he didn't do anything to her, but we don't know if he's alive- what we know is that she knocked him out and left him in the snow at night, while it was freezing).

[@TheNaughtyFrench]

@@MARYWTHER she only murdered criminals for her own safety and to save people she cares, the poor man in the woods it was for her own protection, he looked weird honestly. She didn't try to kill him. sorry but treating El like a criminal it's absurd

[@CryoCK]

@@TheNaughtyFrench he most likely froze to death after she literally stole his clothes in the FREEZING cold outside,She’s technically a criminal

[@elkins4406]

@@CryoCK Nah, it's pretty clear that he survived, since he's obviously the reason Hopper knew to look for Eleven in that area of the woods.

[@Croxby1]

A lot of people hate this episode, but it actually plays a huge part for El's focusing of her powers. She wasn't able to use them without really taking everything out of her. Now she can focus, and have more control.

[@mango4263]

Exactly

[@sheilaburns8977]

I know this is a late response, but Croxby1 you are so right. Eight helped El channel her powers and control them. If Eight had not worked with El she might not have been able to close the huge gate. Personally, I liked this episode. ... PEACE to ALL.

[@ibuildforfun]

@@sheilaburns8977 personally I thought the episode was good, but the placement was a little strange I think more people would have enjoyed it and understand its importance better if it wasn't between the episodes that's in between just because of how high the stakes are at the moment with "will" sending them into a trap if it was one episode before i think it would have been received a lot better the stakes for everyone else wouldnt be as high at that point cause the combination of the extremely stakes and the "i need to know what happens next" kinda takes away from this episode and its importance but that's just my opinion on it

[@sheilaburns8977]

@@ibuildforfun I understand, but I don't know at what point the writers could have inserted the episode in order to set-up El's "newfound" powers which enabled her to save her friends. At any rate, I love Stranger Things and I think the series is fantastic. I got my granddaughter to watch it and she loves it too. ... PEACE.

[@ibuildforfun]

@@sheilaburns8977 I agree it was a good episode and it would be hard to fit it else but I still feel like it would have been received by the public so much better if they could have somehow placed it else where

[@ragnar97]

"Why would she talk to you?" It was the 80s. I've noticed that's the answer to many of your questions. In this case, back then people talked to each other way more often. It's one of the things I miss about not having cell phones, like someone once said "Cell phones: they bring you closer to those who are far away but pull you away from those who are close to you".

[@TheNaughtyFrench]

completely agree with you, with time people lost to communicate with strangers, I think it's important to have contact with people especially these people can feel lonely some company is not a bad thing I don't understand why people react like this like Why would she talk to you ? well people needs contact with others it's human.

I don't understand why people hated on this episode so much , like 8 kinda gave her the strength to close the gate

[@gabbysstories1507]

That was actually one of my favorite episodes of stranger things but I felt bad for the sister

[@VolatileSupernova]

Steve was definitely right and I agree that the other killings Eleven has done were all self defense, people chasing her. But our Eleven has her own moral compass thank goodness and she does what is right! Even if I personally thing that dude is scum for what he was doing to El's mom and to 008. I mean the excuse "he said she was sick" really doesn't hold up because how does that explain the look on his face as he is tasering 008 when they show her memories? Also I think 008 really does care a lot for Eleven its just that she grew up angry and she thought El needed to cope the way she does, though she now knows that's wrong. Hopefully it changes her outlook on what she is doing herself.

[@RandomPerson-qz9di]

I disagree on the matter that 8 doesn't care about El because 8 really did help El to harness the anger that she was feeling and use that anger to better use her powers without this episode of everything that happened in it El would not have been able to close the gate and despite 8 trying to convince her to kill the guy she still didn't because she knew it was wrong and that she would be no better then him by killing him revenge only makes you as bad as the person you are taking revenge on and El realised that.😁

8 is like Evil Yoda... it's like in Empire when Luke took a detour to Dagobagh to train. But left to save his friends... 3 important things happened in this episode: 1) 11 learned how to harness her powers, 2) we saw 8; are there other children out there? and 3) we learned Papa may still be alive. This wasn't a popular episode but I liked it and thought it wad necessary for world building.

Good to see you enjoyed the episode for what it was. I don't think it deserves the hate it gets. Ep. 8 is probably my favorite of the series.

[@andromedaspark2241]

The element of Eleven being in the world solo is interesting. She's been so sheltered and exposed to the worst at the same time. The problem is it diverted attention from a really, really intense part of the story. If they could have fit this in earlier, somehow, or worked the theme into a few episodes don't you think the story would've flowed better? Next episode is WOW. Watch it now! I love this show. It never gets old rewatching it. (edit) Y'all are fun, I found your channel because it's like seeing it again for the first time.

[@Maeve00Bella]

Im glad you liked this episode. Yes, it’s very different but it was necessary for El so she could find out where her real family is and where she belongs. And it showed us how amazing she is. Even after all the pain El had to endure she is still a pure and loving soul. Great reactions!

[@boiledcrap]

It's so cute to see Eleven go all Darth Vader.

[@chicograndeblast]

Episode 6 was the biggest cliffhanger episode ever. They made you wait one whole ep for the conclusion. At least Eleven got some training that could come in handy in ep 8.

[@CharmingNewSociety]

A lot of people have spoken about this episode being a diversion from the main plot and not quite getting it. Here's the thing a lot of folks don't realize yet that is changing about shows: streaming is making series more like novels. And filmmakers are doing this very cognizantly. On regular television episodes have to be much more self-contained and most often can't stray from the main story, because viewers watch week-to-week. With streaming, where viewers can choose their pace, allows episodes to be more like chapters. In other words just parts of a whole that don't necessarily have to be a self-contained story of its own, can be tangential to the main plot (as in this episode of Stranger Things) as it won't take two weeks to get back to it, and to where the story can dictate the length of the episode instead of a time-slot dictating the story (some viewers were thrown off by an episode of Mindhunter that was only 30 minutes compared to the other hour long episodes). I think this is inevitably a very good thing. It will allow a lot more freedom in the ways stories are told, and it will allow more to be dictated by creative choices as opposed to by format. Audiences are simply still adjusting to it because they're not used to it.

[@Jennifer-dr3md]

Every time I watch this episode I always forget that up until that moment of Eleven seeing Hopper and Mike at the hospital, Eleven had no idea that the Upside down is still an issue in Hawkins. Hopper never told El anything while they were living together lol. But anyways, if Eleven did know about Hawkin's problems she may have never set off to find her mom and then her mom would've never told her to find Eight. As tough as Eight was on Eleven I still think that she was right in the fact that Eleven did have a lot of pain and hate she needed to learn how to cope with. So in the end, I think that Eleven learned from Eight that she wanted to cope with the pain of her childhood by helping people and maybe in season three Eleven can teach that to Eight.

[@fester2306]

I have mixed feelings about this episode. It is a good stand-alone episode, well-acted, etc. I just hate that they placed it where they did. Having said that, I also don't know where else they could have placed it. It makes sense where it's at, but I hate that it killed a lot of momentum for me when I watched it.

[@sinnizster5038]

ohhhh.... She's a little runaway...

[@ambrabridges2161]

After Elle refused to kill that guy, 8 is talking to her about how she too had tried to find a home like Elle did with "her policeman" so Elle must've told her about her life in Hawkins.

[@pvilches06]

Oh you two will definitely see how important this journey was for El. 😉 Yes, the next two episodes will be high flying and very emotional. Can't wait to see more of your awesome reactions. 😊

[@alphega1983]

In season 2 I think one of the reasons why they decided to have eleven away from the action was for further character development and against demi-dogs/demi-gorgons eleven is too OP. She was able to kill a demi-gorgon in season 1 when she was already in an exhausted state. Episode 8-9 will be awesome

[@brom00]

It's a bit of a stretch but I see 11's nosebleeds as a callback to 80's horror films. Just a byproduct of having the brain in overdrive. Like in King''s Dead Zone and Firestarter and Cronenberg's Scanners, to name a few.

[@scottfelger503]

I know it diverted from the main story and that it was kind of slow, but as others have said, the purpose was 1) to give some background into Eight and 2) Eight taught Eleven to improve her power. Not to give too much away, but Eleven will need that improvement near the end ;-)

[@lauramarie203]

I love the last sentence so much. "I'm going home". Most of the people over hear it or don't think about it but their is so much meaning in it. So many people(sister from her mother or 008) said to her:"now you're home" and her answer was always "home?". She didn't know where she belong to. But the one who said it first -mike- (and she didn't said her usual answer) was her actual home. By Mike and her friends. And now she knows and is sure about it

[@bobbymartin440]

Great Episode! The Tag-Line for The Season-"They Can't Help You"-"No. but I Can Help Them"!!!

[@purporchid8628]

I always find it interesting how people say they hate 8 for what she’s doing, but how many movies and tv shows have we seen that are built on people on revenge missions? Isn’t Kill Bill 1 & 2 essentially the same thing and it’s some of Tarantino’s most popular films? And the “corrupting”? I don’t think 8 was essentially trying to corrupt El, but was showing her how she deals with her trauma and how she thought she could help El do the same. Only thing is 8 is older and therefore must remember more of the torture phase of their captivity. I’m not sure how well most would handle being kidnapped and tortured that they judge her so harshly. If we followed her story from the beginning, we’d be her cheerleaders, not her judge and jury

[@juanpraetoru3843]

As a note to the other commentaries about what this chapter was about, it is also about where "home" is. First she tries with Mama, then Eight, and finally she gets to realize that Mike, the other children and Hopper are their real family, no matter how bad times could have been alongside them. Sorry for the mistakes, I´m not a native english speaker.

[@becca496]

this episode is important because it's important to know what el is doing while the rest of them are fighting the demo-dogs in episode 6. episode 6 and this episode align. it's probably my least favorite of the season but i enjoyed seeing this side of el and i was glad to see her make her final decision to go back in the end.

[@matthewwilliams2093]

A lot of people bag on this episode, but I think this treatment ends up working better than ending up with an excessively long episode cutting between the two stories, or worse: two episodes that don't have a decent place to end in the middle. PS I hope Nikki has a good supply of aloe for that sunburn!

[@DelonYsf]

Nikki looks like she could be in one of those 80s summer beach movies 😂😂😂😂 keep up the great work y’all ❤️

[@TrentRidley]

The point of this episode is that throughout this season El has been searching for that place where she belongs, she's been searching for her home. First Hopper, then her aunty, and finally 008 all suggest she is home when she finds them. It's not until she's been on this journey, however, that she comes to recognize that her place of belonging, her home, truly is back in Hawkins with Hopper and Mike and all of her friends. She even says as much at the very end of the episode. As angry and frustrated as El was when she left Hawkins, as much anonymity and freedom in that anonymity as she may have found in the city, this journey gave her reason to go back and face the Shadow Monster, she's going to save the people that she has now come to understand are her family....and that, my friends, is a beautiful thing.

[@debwoody5408]

In your discussion, you wondered if El told 8 she was from Hawkins... I'm sure 8 knows she is from there, as they were both at the lab together. If course, she might think El is staying away from Hawkins, because she is from the lab?? Who knows?!?

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Ah good point, of course! Thank you - Nikki

[@tracydavies1558]

I really liked this episode. I think it was giving us a bit of a break for the episodes to come as they are amazing and probably my favourite episodes ❤️❤️

[@BNILES41]

This episode was pretty much both preparation and self discovery for Elle. By the end, she pretty much knows where she belongs. But I wouldn't be surprised if 8 returns one day.

[@MARYWTHER]

Very few people appreciate how AWESOME El's aunt is. She has this kid who comes to her house unnannounced, talks about crazy shit like powers and all. And yet she welcomes her with open arms, offers her a HOME, offers to take care of her and all. And when El wants to do things and try to find "her sister", she even helps her! And when she's worried about her or what, she doesn't call just the cops or stuff like that, she calls Hopper! (also I love Khali, Khali deserves better than the life she got, her loneliness and the shit she got from the fandom... she's not "a villain", she's a badass who, tbh, has every right to want revenge. She could have done pretty horrific things to these policemen, but she didn't. Also Khali literally helped El channel her powers, she didn't "destroy" her)

[@benw9949]

Aha, yes, you got the clue from Terry that Eleven is off to find Eight, from Terry's TV search clip. Hmm, so Terry thinks it's important to keep that awful loop of clues running, as a coping mechanism, yet from the 8 news clip, she's somehow still thinking, Abe to communicate. I wonder if she is recovering any now? We didn't see Eleven able to heal her, and yet El could listen to what Terry was telling her in her thoughts. So maybe Terry could start coming out of her shell? I don't know; we don't have enough to go on there yet.

[@blake7871]

Heck yeah! Nikki partying at the beach and Steve skipping the beach for the barber's chair! Good stuff. Yeah, this episode was good, but different.

[@frankrodriguez2999]

LOL El literally has Punky Power! 😂

[@benw9949]

Yep, you guys got the points going on: Eight (Kali) manipulates, but she thinks she's doing right to get revenge. That's a key to understanding the two points of view. Also notice the 80's music going on here. Runaways, for instance, other girl-friendly tracks. I'm surprised they didn't go with Pat Benatar, Blondie, or a few others. And Eleven's makeover -- She's growing up here, starting to be her own person. The 80's punk look really suits the time and suits Eleven. (Think of Blade Runner, Mad Max, and Lost Boys.) Eleven keeps the look for the rest of the season. ;) LOL, one of the boys gets a minor update to his look; you'll see that later. (Snickr, not going to spin the moment.)

I think the point was to develop El from a victim who has been manipulated her whole life, kept in the dark about herself, and all that happened, into a fully fledged character who knows what is important to her, who her real family is, knows who she is, what her powers are, and what her moral compass will be for the future - by choice.

Not many people seem to like this episode, but it does have a purpose in the arc of the season and it also takes place at the same time as the last episode does. That is why El wasn't in 'The Spy.'

This ep doesn't fit with the flow of the story, yet we needed Eleven's char and skill development. The next two eps carry right on from ep 6 and they really run with it. You won't be disappointed. I still could swear Max was in the same van, with Kali et al., at the start of 2.01. I need to rewatch to see. Eleven gets sort o tempted by the Dark Side of the Force here, only not quite. She ultimately makes a decision. Note Kali still protects her, they disagree, but this is left open. Eeven's skills developed here are needed upcoming. Also, Eleven makes a decision based on mercy and compassion, even when it wasn't shown to her. Kali is more willing to cross that line out of anger, and out of being older when they experimented on her. Dunno if we'll see anything more of Kali's crew, though. Word is, Kali may be back in s3. Eleven gets to be a badass in this nd the last two eps, again, and we see Kali (Eight) is a different sort o strong female char, more ambiguous. The capping scenes at the start and end also give us a little to work with. Note Eleven sees remotely that her friends are in trouble, and this influences her decisions. Note also, we don't get a single time in Stranger Things where they use any of the "helpless / delicate girl / woman" tropes you usually get in thriller / horror or mystery. Instead, we get the ladies being smart and strong. Nothing wrong with being a girly-girl, but hey, a girl or a woman who can take care of herself and dish it out is a good thing. (My dad specifically liked the challenge that my mom was strong-minded and smart, not a pushover. It made for a better partnership that way. My parents were really good in many ways, even if not perfect in others.) So it's refreshing to see the girls and women in this show on a more equal footing with the boys and men.

I guess I’ll be the only one who will point it out but … that guy is this episode that eleven and her sister & the gang tried attacking , he’s the same actor who played Otis from season 2 of the walking dead

9:17 Nikki's reaction was just about mine too. I popped (to put it in wrestling terms) just as big myself because I was born in November 1980 so Punky was my very first crush.
