Stranger Things 2: what the episode titles could mean.

First off, we're getting one additional episode compared to season one (season one was eight episodes long, season two will be nine). Can we all just agree that the more the better? Load us the f*ck up on these.

Episode One (Chapter Nine) Madmax: There's a few new characters coming into season two and one of them happens to be a girl about the same age as the boys.... and her name is Max. Could this be an introduction into her character specifically? Or, could this episode try to set her up so we have instant love for her like we did with the boys and El back in season one? Also, this character apparently has a brother around the same age as Nancy/Jonathan/Steve.... so hopefully he and Steve can "bro out" and Nancy can get back to what's important.... JONATHAN.

Episode Two (Chapter Ten) The Boy Who Came Back To Life: This has to be a "Will centric" episode.... right?! I mean, he is "the boy who came back to life" in season one and that has to freak some people in that little podunk town out. They all attended his funeral and tried to convince his mother that she was crazy when she was the only one (aside from the boys) that believed that Will was still alive. There has to be some repercussions from that. The entire town already thought Joyce was crazy, Jonathan was creepy, and Will was strange.... have things changed for the Byers?!


Episode Three (Chapter Eleven) The Pumpkin Patch: I would like to be all "theory crazy" and come up with something crazy for this episode, but it could be that the kids literally just go to a pumpkin patch (it is set around Halloween almost a year after season one's events) and some shit goes down, because shit always goes down wherever those boys go. From the previews it's clear that our favorite group since the Goonies are going as the Ghostbusters, but what exactly is catching Dustin's eye while they're going into the school? Something that could reappear or come forth in a pumpkin patch perhaps?!

NOTE: I feel like this might be the episode that Eleven makes her re-emergence, because even though it's episode three of the second season, if you put season one and two together, it is technically chapter ELEVEN.

Episode Four (Chapter Twelve) The Palace: This sounds fairly important. A big theme of season one was Dungeons&Dragons and while I have never played that game, I'm assuming that there's some kind of castle/home base for the characters? It just seems to fit that you would have a castle/palace of some sorts since they have dungeons and dragons, right? If not, where in the hell is the dungeon?! Then again, this could be a location in the UpsideDown. Could the boys travel there to try and help their friends (Will/El) and run to the palace for refuge.... OR could this be a place that the boys run into where the demogorgon/new baddie reside?! Then again, could this be an entirely different/yet to be introduced realm?!

Episode Five (Chapter Thirteen) The Storm: I looked into this a little bit to see if 1984 (the year season two is set) was a crazy storm year and apparently, YES IT WAS. Apparently there was a hurricane via the Atlantic and it was said to be pretty rough and beat up the US pretty badly. So.... are we thinking that our boys will be getting out into this storm and getting trapped in the worst of it? Or.... could this have absolutely nothing to do with the 1984 storms and the Duffer Brothers are just trying to throw us off with a play on words? "The Storm" could mean what's happening within one (or more) of our characters.

Episode Six (Chapter Fourteen) The Pollywog: When I think of a Pollywog I think of Binyah Binyah the Pollywog from Gullah Gullah Island.... but I doubt that's what this is meaning. Since a Pollywog is technically a tadpole, is it referring to a creature (maybe the slugs Will is puking up?) or could it be referring to our little runt of the group? Is it a rebirthing of sorts or is it a reference to our little ones growing into more serious players? Can they get more serious than they did in season one?! Is there going to be a cute little Pollywog creature that the boys find? OR is there going to be some sort of weird frog/hybrid monster?!

Episode Seven (Chapter Fifteen) The Secret Cabin: Who's it a secret to? That should be the first question. Afterall, finding out that there's a secret place in Hawkins isn't that far of a stretch. Is it where Eleven is hiding? She's had to be somewhere for the past year and what better place to be hiding out then a place that people don't know exists? Then again, chances are if she's not been locked up or in the Upside Down since she destroyed the Demogorgon and just chilling in a cabin, she would've at least come out to find Mike. Unless she was too scared. Or is this where some freaky experiments will go down?

Episode Eight (Chapter Sixteen) The Brain: This either has to refer to Eleven because of her telepathy skills, or it has to refer to the "brains" of the group, right?! Speaking of which, who is the brains of the group? It can't refer to Nancy, because at the end of season one she very clearly chose Steve over Jonathan and we all know that doesn't constitute being the "brains" of any operation. Could this be a reference to the entire US Department of Energy and all of it's shady dealings? Or, could this be a reference to Hopper since he's most likely going to be looking into things over the last year?

Episode Nine (Chapter Seventeen) The Lost Brother: Who's brother? Nancy's brother (Mike)? Eleven's brother (there are more kids like her)? Maybe the new girl's brother (who looks shady as hell)? Jonathan's brother (Will) again? Or, *gulp* maybe Will's brother (Jonathan)? They all could be likely or even a completely new character within itself since there are bound to be a whole other world of characters waiting to come out and play.

See y'all October 27, 2017.
