    I figured the mysterious missing no. 1 was vecna as soon as they mentioned him, but I didn't put together that he was also Henry creel and was the cause for victors insanity. What a series! But overall I must say, vecna isn't as scary as the mind flayer, however it's a close up more personal horror this season, rather than something apocalyptic, and vecna is a brilliant evolution of the Lore.

      From what I can tell people immediately put two and two together regarding the staff member being 001, 001 being Henry or 001 being Vecna but what ensured that everyone was blown away by the ending was that it wasn’t simply putting “two and two” together that was required but “two and two and two”. Three supposed characters that ends up being one and the same. Brilliant! Especially since it also explains why 011 opened the gate in the first place.

    In Will’s painting you see some red pillar or spike whatever it is and it looks similar to the spikes in the Upside down when Max is running away from Vecna and we all know that when Will gets a vision from the upside down he draws it, maybe he is painting all of Vecna’s attacks and the rumour going around that it might be for Mike it could be a chance that Mike will be a Victim he might have trauma from losing the people he cared about twice or could the painting be El as Vecna’s victim . Just remember that Vecna kills Teens with trauma and El might be the most traumatised person in Hawkins ,
    And in the posters we see Will touching his neck so his Spider senses are tingling for another teen that gets killed … or maybe he is going to get killed anyway this is a long comment if you read it up to here thank you so much and have a good day

    When Henry was giving his monologue and talking about his early days with Brenner the way he talked about Brenner wanting to recreate Henry.. It makes me wonder if Brenner used Henry's.... genetic material... to produce the rest of the kids. So Henry might be El's biological father? The biological father of all the kids that were in the program, but because they weren't as powerful as El Henry had no problem killing them. Cause he was 32 at the time of the massacre since it was 20 years after he killed his family in 1959. 002 looked to be around 15 or so so that's plenty young enough to have been sired by Henry, though I'm sure he had no direct contact with any of the mothers and it was all done artificially. KNowing Brenner I'm sure the extraction wasn't something that could be construed as enjoyable either.

      Ah yes, the removal of his chip bugged the shit out of me... He could have just cut it out with a knife...

      Maybe Brenner didn’t have knives down there in case he decided to try that. He was probably doing whatever he could to make sure he couldn’t escape with powers like that

      @@karlie.jordan fair point, the kids could have eaten with their hands all the time, but needles? Or even the wall tiles? He would have been able to find a way. A metal piece anywhere. He knew where Eleven could escape, so he would have found a way... Imho

    Im sure some of you knew this and I'm sure some of you didn't know this but Heather Langenkamp's character from Nightmare on Elm Street that came out in 1984 was named Nancy as well and Natalia Dyers character in Stranger Things is named Nancy too. Both there characters had similar vibes.

    I noticed that Chrissy’s possession scene in the first episode gave me Nightmare on Elm Street vibes when Tina was killed. Even the being thrown onto the ceiling. Plus no one would believe Eddie or Rod about what really happened

    6:50 - Fun fact: When they look at the list of people to find where Eddie is hiding, you can see one of the names is Rick Sanchez

    one thing i dont understand is how the upside down suddenly is frozen in 1983 on the day Will went missing when we know for sure time in the upside down has passed simultaneously to the real world before, example: The letters on the wall Will communicated to Joyce by, or in the ending scene of season 2 when we can see the snowball decorations at hawkins middle school aswell as the upside down version of the school

    I did get some Shutter Island vibes when Robin and Nancy visited Pennhurst Asylum, and we see the patients in the lawn. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not

    Hopper getting hosed down in the prison and his talk of agent orange in Vietnam were references to First Blood the original Rambo movie.

    Very subtle Easter egg I spotted, in episode 4 when max is running through the grave yard in the upside down there’s a tombstone with Byers on it… maybe a hint to the final 2 episodes?

    Another Easter egg, in the first episode when Dustin and Susie change his grade, that has to be a reference to WarGames, when Matthew Broderick’s character fixes his grade.

    From the second 001 said, "It looks like someone's a sleepy head." I knew he was 001. I never would have anticipated that he was a Creel though.

    Can’t believe y’all missed the Rick and Morty reference. When they look up Reefer Rick in the system you can see the name “Rick Sanchez” as one of the Ricks listed
