As soon as Bob said he was gonna go down to put the power back on I said "oh god they are gonna kill him. Please don't kill him in such a cliché manner." I have seen so many movies and if you have seen only like 50 movies in your entire life than yeah it might seem like a total surprise to see Bob dying at the end, but not for me. And I bet not for many people. Movie makers have been using this scenario so many times to write a character out of the story. He is showing bravery and is so close to victory but then out of nowhere and without reason he stops 5 meters away from the exit only to TALK to his love. Like come on please stop that, why would you ever stop while being followed instead of running forward and taking everyone with you to safety. Also there are a couple of details in this episode that were stupid. First he says that it's really complicated to start up the computer and then we only see him use the arrow keys and the enter key. Wow a monkey could have done that but okay. But what really annoyed me is that you see the monsters eating Bob at the end. During that entire episode you see dead bodies all over the lab. Not a single one is being eaten they only have claw marks. so my assumption was, that they only kill but don't eat their victims. But then OF COURSE they have to eat Bob for no freaking reason just to create a more dramatic ending. Boy what a terrible eye for detail and clichés .. Also next episode the doctor isn't even being killed for absolutely NO REASON except him having survive for story purposes. That really made me angry.

But then there are the actors and they are again so incredibly good. All of them without exception play their part to the finest. And that is what makes this series so incredible. Sadly the story and details have been worse this season and filled with a bunch of clichés like the brother of max. The writers sure don't make this series so great - it's the actors and the director.

I do not understand in the slightest why this episode similar to the brother of max were necessary for this else grandiose series. It didn't bring the plot forward in any kind of way. I heard the writers of the show say that they wanted to do a similar 80s episode to movies like "the warriors". BUT WHY ? It doesn't fit at all and ruins all the momentum the show had until this point. I mean an entire episode to some randoms we see in the first episode for a couple of minutes and then never again until this moment just shows how unnecessary they were. You could just cut this whole sister thing out. Eleven was always seen alone in the first season during her flashbacks so why now all of the sudden another girl she seems to have been in a room together for some time. Not only does it feel forced and full of plot holes the only thing outstanding in this episode is of course the acting of Millie Bobby Brown who plays "Eleven". All the other actors of this "gang" are not very good .. Please never do such episodes that don't fit the tone of the series again. No new town no new stories no new cheesy characters that don't fit the tone. And never ever do filler episodes in a series that only has 9 episodes anyway. That is more than TEN FREAKING PERCENT!
