Stranger Things Day: Season 1 rewind

Best season 1 moments

There are so many great moments and plot twists in season 1, here are some of my favorites:

• “Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.” I can relate, Hopper.
• Hopper finds out the body in the lake isn’t Will, it’s a fake.
• Eleven saves Mike from falling off the cliff, admits she opened the gate and believes she’s the monster. But Mike is quick to reassure her she’s not. I just wanted to join in on that group hug.
• Eleven makes the van fly up as they’re running away from Papa. Seriously, one of the coolest shots from the whole show.
• “Friends don’t lie.”
• Hopper and Joyce save Will from the Upside Down. This was such a good idea. The flashbacks to Hopper’s daughter dying were so heartbreaking in this moment.
• Jonathan, Nancy and Steve fight the Demogorgon. Serious props to the director. This whole setup and the way it was shot and edited was spectacular.
• Eleven defeats the Demogorgon. I still have no words.
• The season ends with two awesome cliffhangers – Eleven is out there and the Upside Down still hasn’t completely left Will alone.
