Hi, I’m re-watching Stranger Things with my girlfriend, I had only seen the show 2 times. So there were some details I’d forgotten and I have a few questions:

  1. In episode 2, how does Eleven know Will? In episode 3, she leads the boys to where he is (in his house but in UD). Does she have a connection to the Demogorgon she touched that allows her to know Will and Barb? Or is it a more general connection to UD? In any case, it seems to me that she loses this connection in the other seasons, doesn’t she? Also, for me, they (Will and Eleven) couldn’t have crossed paths in the forest because she’s only there when she leaves the Diner’s where she arrives by following the conduit.

  2. In episodes 2 and 3, the demogorgon often appears in the Byers’ walls. I understand that it’s looking for Will, but why does it cross without having a purpose? In episode 2, he crosses the wall to kill Barb, but the Byers’ house is far from Steve’s, so why? Does he move around as he pleases and hunt at random?

  3. Finally, how could Will know about the letters if time is frozen on November 6th in the UD? Did he just deduce it by intelligence?
