Re: Stranger Things
He was standing next to a device that had the potential to connect back to the location of the USSR’s own Upside Down experiment in Siberia, when it blew up. There was a post-credit sequence at the very end of the last episode, back in Siberia, where they had a captive demagorgon, and the dialogue makes reference to “the American”. So the means to transport Hopper out of harm’s way was there, and the conclusion suggested he had in fact survived.
From a production point of view they’d have been daft to have killed him off, and they clearly know how bankable he is as he’s the subject of the one snippet of footage released so far. It was the right call if my kids’ reaction to the teaser is anything to go by.

The fact there was no body shown, indicating he could have been sucked through the portal. As well as the post credit scene in Russia, indicating they had an American captive, was enough for me to suggest he was alive
cool, I thought it was a strange move to kill him off because he was a main character and such a good one at that. The series definitely would have been diminished in his absence. What will be interesting now is to see whether he portals back or has to do it the old fashioned way and fly I wonder if Eleven's power evolve and she can beam him back.
Yeah, the last interview i read with the Duffer brothers said that they had planned for a 5 season story arc and given the success of the series they are obviously going to get it.
