Is Stranger Things S02E07 "Lost Sister" the most unnecessary episode ever?
- Thread starter KrigareN-
- Start date
I don't know how anyone can say it was unnecessary, or that any of it was out of nowhere. All development with Eleven happens in this episode and it makes complete sense. It's not a backdoor pilot, but set-up for another storyline for next season (of which I believe the Duffers intend to be the last, based on their Nerdist interview).
It's Eleven finding her purpose and resolve in a powerful way. I really enjoyed it. It was a break, sure, but a break that worked. To emotionally prepare us for the grand finale.
I loved it.

The more the show strays from small town trappings towards X-men lite, the less interested I am in it. It's pretty embarrassing that the directors specifically referenced Terminator 2 as their template. T2 wouldn't be T2 if it contained as much fluff and wasted screen time as Stranger Things S2.
I agree I can barely remember what happened it was so meh.
It doesn't help that I think genuinely everyone, including Kali, in the Chicago crew is played by an absolutely terrible actor each.
Hated it. Retroactively made me lukewarm on Season 2 (spent too much time on the nostalgic teen drama aspect and too little on horror for my taste, hope S3 turns that around).
That flashback was brilliant because it was so pointless when you saw Jack's next flashback you groaned and were not ready for the flash forward
I must be in the minority. I liked it. The rest of the season felt like a repeat of the previous season, where this was the only one with an actual expansion.
In the end, I liked that episode and it's direction than the smoke monster and tremors 2 style hoard of dog demogorgons. My expectations were probably too high hoping the giant creature was some overlord intelligent kaiju.
Maybe I just have bad tastes.

It was actually one of the best because it was such a change of pace.
Took her out of her element and stepped outside of the small town surburbia nerd masturbation and into a colder world where people are focused on surviving not planning the next d&d sleepover.
It shows how powerful eleven could conceivably be how resolute she is as far as where she wants to be, and sets up a show down with her foster sister in a future season.
