Chapter Six: The Dive

The basketball team captain feels like one of those real-life cult leaders—always accusing others of being evil when he’s the real problem.

I could tell El was retracing her whole journey from being powerless to gaining abilities and finally getting her own revenge. Honestly, it makes sense—how else was she gonna break free? Seems like the West really has a thing for cliques and picking on outsiders… classic American TV trope.

In a place like a lab training kids with powers, bullying someone seen as weak feels almost inevitable. They even set it up back in Season 1. But that scene with Steve at the end… seriously? Why create drama like that? Wouldn’t it have been better if he sensed someone reactivating the gate vines, surfaced, and got dragged into the Upside Down that way?

Gotta say though, that flock of birds at the end… painful to watch. Who’s going to save Steve now? Are the other three gonna jump into the gate after him? Is this the first time someone’s actually entered it directly in the whole series?

And Hopper… can he even escape this season? Three episodes left. Good luck to them, honestly. Feels like he and that ex-guard are becoming something like friends… I have a feeling one of them isn’t making it out alive.

这个篮球队队长像极了现实中给别人洗脑的头目，说别人是罪大恶极其实自己才是。其实我能看出来el是在回顾自己从没有能力到有了能力给自己报仇的这整一个回忆挺合理的，要不然他不爆发怎么能逃离这里，西方可能真的很容易形成小团体吧对看不起眼的人进行霸凌，这真是美剧最喜欢写的案例了，在这种超能力训练室的地方更容易因为看不起眼而进行霸凌没什么问题，第一季的时候也有铺垫过，Steve最后这一下我是真受不了了为什么要写这种桥段来制造麻烦，还不如直接感受到有人在入口附近激活了藤曼然后Steve浮出水面后被抓住进upside down，但有一说一这些结尾这些鸟看的我疼死了，谁能救Steve那三个人也要跑进upside down吗，这好像是这么多季来有人直接进入入口吧，Jim Hopper这一季还能逃的出去吗？还有三集呢，祝他们好运吧，感觉这家伙跟前狱警都要成朋友了，有预感会牺牲。
