Unanswered Questions:

  • What were they attempting to do at Hawkins National Laboratory by sending Shepard through the portal?
  • Does the portal take you to the other dimension?
  • What is the other dimension?
  • ​Is the nature of the other dimension alien, supernatural, or something else?
  • Why fake Will Byers' death?
  • Why are we beginning to see a grid motif appearing in Stranger Things? Grids are everywhere. Does this hint at deeper themes?

I also found this interesting. Shepard walks into the portal and they cut right to this. It's a reference to Joseph Conrad's poem Heart of Darkness, which has as one of it's better known lines “The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.”
