- TriviaWhen Billy (Dacre Montgomery) gets the Byers address from Mrs. Wheeler (Cara Buono), he takes a cookie from the cookie jar on the kitchen counter. This was improvised by Dacre Montgomery, who said he thought it would be "cheeky."
- GoofsThe house that Billy and Max's parents pull up to is not the same house that Lucas picked Max up from in the prior episode. When Lucas picked Max up, the front steps pointed toward the street and Billy was parked in the road in front of the house. When the parents return, they pull into a driveway that was not there earlier, the front steps are perpendicular to the road, and Billy's car is parked in the driveway.

Jim Hopper: So, what, we're just not gonna talk about it, huh?
Eleven: About what?
Jim Hopper: Oh, I don't know. I'm just curious, you know, why all of a sudden you look like some kind of an MTV punk.

Featured review
And that's Season Two binge-watched!
The good news is that, after eight episodes of varying quality (although the majority have been great), the final chapter wraps things up brilliantly, with a solid mix of drama, action, danger, and even romance. It's everything I had hoped it would be.
The Gate starts with Eleven's timely arrival at the Byers house, to the surprise of those inside, especially Mike, who is angry when he learns where she has been for the past year. Eleven's appearance means that there is a chance that the gate between our dimension and the upside-down can be sealed, but to do so the Shadow Monster must first be forced out of Will, and the demodogs lured away from the lab.
Highlights of this season's closer include a tense fist fight between Max's nasty stepbrother Billy (Dacre Montgomery) and Steve, the expulsion of the Shadow Monster (shades of The Exorcist), and the scenes inside the tunnels as Steve and the kids play their part in defeating the evil that has been plaguing the town of Hawkins. Best of all is the epilogue, which sees the boys and girls attending the Christmas ball at their school: I'm not usually one for the sappy stuff, but seeing the characters developing relationships and enjoying themselves is heartwarming stuff.
All told, I liked this season even more than the last. The wait for Season Three is going to be a long one.
