love seeing D/J/R/E working together at starcourt trying to find out whats going on with the russians

and the rest of the kids are together working on figuring out how to find/fight the flayer.

i love all the Jopper scenes despite all the fighting going on.

Jonathan and Nancy in the elevator is one of my all-time favorite Jancy scenes.

It was a great way of them both saying sorry/I love you without actually saying it.

Totally destroyed any tension from episode 4 and allowed them to progress on with the team work

And WOW, the fight scene Jonathan getting thrown around and beaten, it scared the hell out of me (even though I suspected he'd be okay, based on Starcourt Mall stills)

This was a decent episode. Not my favorite of the group but good. It was good to get a break from Billy.

I am glad that Jonathan admitted to Nancy that he was wrong and that they seem to be okay again. They also had a lot more to do in this episode. I liked them getting involved with the younger group and fighting the bad guys at the end. Good job Nancy! Now we just need this group and Steve's group to meet up.

It saddens me that none of the guys seem to really care about Dustin? We got one tiny mention of them wondering where he was but other than that it doesnt seem they are trying to find him at all or anything?

I enjoyed the scenes with Hopper and Joyce in this episode, they were fun to watch and Hopper is hilarious. I love that we got the same guy who told Nancy they had feelings for each other is now telling jopper that.

Favorite part of the episode was by far the Steve and Dustin scenes. Erica is a great character. And I loved the whole sequence of finding their way out of the elevator, that was fun.

For me this episode was a low 8 and I liked it slightly less than 304.

10: 303
8: 301, 304, 305
7: 302

They likely assume he's hanging out with Steve and therefore is fine. Also, Dustin was away at camp, so they saw he was dealing with new things such as Suzie etc.

The irony is that Mike and Lucas were hanging out with Will yet were totally disregarding his feelings before this episode. He was being totally ignored just because he didn't have a girlfriend. Therefore, don't feel too bad for Dustin, because Will still got the worst treatment.

Agreed the writers do a good job of establishing Murray as a guy who is perceptive and not afraid to speak out when sensing tension between two people. He's a great voice for the audience, in many ways.

Here's Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer analyzing the filming for their scenes together at the end of this episode (one of Stranger Things' best ever action sequences):

SO? They cant assume hes with steve the entire season lol. And even so thats no excuse to just ignore him. And he WAS away, but hes back now? They literally could have cared less about him. Yes they treat Will badly but they are all still interacting and addressing that. They are just ignoring that Dustin was even in their friend group.

I seem to recall Lucas desperately calling Dustin in this episode and receiving no reply

Both groups were in tough, life-threatening situations. There wasn't much they could do about seeing each other. But his absence was addressed.
