The moment we saw that tentacle down Will’s throat, we knew it was bad news. But he’s back with his friends, and we just want things to be okay for Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Mike. As much as we want that happy ending, we want a season two, and that means there’s more than just him getting rescued. He can enter the Upside-Down through sneezing. Will he be able to control this? Will he change physically because of what happened to him? Does Will have strange new powers to discover?
Are there more results of these experiments? El might have been the most powerful, but are there others in the ether? Or maybe other whose powers have been latent but will manifest later on?
Given the impunity with which the government agents and Dr. Brenner moved with, and the obvious operational support they had, it isn’t hard to imagine that there are other facilities. Will we visit them? What kinds of experiments would other crazy mad scientist types be running? Could there be more towns like Hawkins where people are living their boring lives beside interdimensional rifts?
El opened up a rift. But as Mr. Clarke explained it, for the Upside Down to exist, it would be one of many worlds. Will we see a multiverse in play soon? Is the Upside Down another Earth, but slightly different? (If so, then will we see different Earths across universe/dimensions? At which point there could be a League of Dustins who would become a force for good in the multiverse. Okay that’s just my pitch for a spin-off.) Worlds existing parallel to ours would open up all kinds of possible adventures for the show.
