Chapter Three: The Pollywog

God. This is soo good. It is fun and i don't want it to end. this episode filled with exciting mission, humor and more mystery.

Very good episode, all the new characters and old characters are used very well and it's very enjoyable to watch. When it comes to the monsters of the show it is a very slow start for season 2 as it's just ramping up in this episode but when it comes to the characters it has been done very well.

This episode is fantastic, using the introduction of a new creature to brilliantly ramp up the sense of impending horror. The innocence with which Dustin adopts the queer, tadpole-like Dart immediately becomes deeply eerie when Will realizes it's an invader from the Upside Down. This sets a fantastic, unsettling biological threat for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, the character focus is incredibly strong. Eleven's secret search for her past, fueled by the Eggo she uses as a homing device, is fascinating and promises a new emotional journey. Her loneliness and jealousy lead to a chilling, unexpected display of power against Max, proving her isolation is unsustainable.

Crucially, Will's deepening trauma is handled with heartbreaking intensity, confirming his connection to the Shadow Monster is becoming dangerously intimate.

Hooper become more protective with Eleven. We meet the boyfriend of Joyce, Bob. We know more about the beast that Dustin find in his room. Nancy want to tell the truth about Barabara. Eleven come back at the school and find Mike and Alex. I love the episode. It have interesting moments: funny, action, special effects. Still have great plot and make us to watch until the end. Nice episode.

These are nicely crafted episodes. We get to see the evolution of El and how she is trying to have her own voice. It's hopeful that very soon she will connect with the boys. The scientists from that facility are becoming more and more dangerous. Enter the little reptile (or whatever, Dart) and we have a common cause for the guys. The chief continues to investigate but he has about had it. He should have realized along the way that El was not going to continue to stay put. She feels that she is being lied to and won't follow the rules anymore. Reality versus fiction continues to haunt Will. I hope that some of the other reviewers soon begin to deal with the specifics of these episodes instead of simply putting the same thing down with no thought. I guess it's to not watch anything but to be in the face of those who find this show quite a bit of fun.
