All the Moments From ‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 That Set Twitter on Fire
Warning: major spoilers ahead.
This weekend, the television gods smiled down on us by making all nine episodes of the second season of Netflix’s Stranger Things available to fans—just in time for Halloween. If you haven’t had contact with the outside world since Friday and Saturday’s parties because you’ve been glued to your couch, you’re not alone. An army of excited viewers devoured the latest season over the weekend—then quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Thanks to the official trailer, we knew going in that the door to the Upside Down was still wide open and that literally none of our favorite characters—Will! Mike! Eleven!—were safe. So even though this season definitely had its share of suspenseful moments, the terrifying monster plot seemed to take a backseat to some of the other storylines this time around.
Would there finally be justice for Barb? What happened to Eleven? Did Joyce ever get her house put back together? Here, all the greatest moments from season two that fans couldn’t stop talking about.
Rejoice: Two of your favorite “will they or won’t they?” couples finally got together.Mike and Nancy: two siblings who have some serious luck in the love department.
Mike in s1: me?? Eleven??? Eww gross I don't like girls
Mike in s2: it's been 354 days since I saw eleven my one true love #StrangerThings

Speaking of Steve, he’s the internet’s new boyfriend.Season One Steve as Nancy’s jealous boyfriend? Not our favorite. But Season Two Steve as a big brother figure/action hero? He’s grown up.

#PoorBarb is out, #PoorBob is in.Poor Sean Astin. He was too good for this world.
First Barb, now Bob, I don’t think I can handle getting emotionally attached to any more characters who start with a B #StrangerThings2

Viewers were left with some important questions…
Do Mike and Nancy's parents ever wonder where their kids are or what they're doing? #StrangerThings
