Alright, rewatching episode 05×02 of stranger things, let's go!

I'm going to write what I thought/saw in each scenes, so it's probably going to be long.

1) Joyce

Wow, that house is really looking ominous as hell.

2) Will and Mike

Okay first of all THE FAMOUS WILL VOICE OMGJDKKKDKFKSKSJJCJXISKWJXJJWH!!! TuT💕

Sorry.

Anyway, I really like that Mike is trying to help Will by giving him some sort of reason as to why all this is happening.

Also,

Will, stuttering: You really think so?

Mike, softly: Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

This is just so sweet.

3) Hopper

Damn, I forgot about that.

This underground place is so full of toxic spores, I'm surprised he even walked this far!

Also, he was kinda dumb about it. I mean, these spores are pretty huge, I wouldn't go in there without covering my mouth and nose honestly.

Rip Hopper, I know you'll survive that but I feel for you man 🫡

4) Nancy and Jonathan

"you want a single. (side eye) Or a double." LMAO--

Anyway.

(The hand/scar thing is so adorable I love them. )

Damn, amazing communication skills guys. 🙂

5) Mike, Will and Joyce

Love how Mike is staying next to Will, even if he knows that it's probably dangerous. :)

Also,

Will: I think he's in trouble. I think he's going to die.

Woah, that's actually pretty cool. Also creepy, but still pretty cool. :D

6) Hopper

Guess Will has someone to relate with now. (Puking weird and disgustingly slimly Upside Down stuff)

Nice, he finally though about protecting his mouth and nose.

A cigarette really? ._.

I mean, at least he left something.

7) The Sinclairs

(I love Erica she's so sassy)

Miss and Mr Sinclair are such cool parents! :)

They're my favorite adult couple if I'm being honest.

I love how Lucas asked his dad what he does when his mom's angry, it really shows that he has a big crush on Max. And it's pretty cute too! :3

(The Sinclair mens really are a perfect example of "my girl is mad at me I hope I die" lol)

8) the Handersons

Oh noo, Mewsyyyyy..!! :(

Dustin, you smart manipulative little shit. (This is both so sad and so funny help)

That plan to catch Dart was actually really smart!! Amazing job Dustin!! :)

Also, "I'm sorry. You ate my cat." that made me laugh for like two minutes straight lol--

9) Eleven

That random man in the truck was so nice, I hope he'll succeed in whatever he's doing in his life.

Alright, go find your mom El. I don't remember how that went, but hopefully not too bad.

ELEVEN MY GIRL YOU CAN'T JUST USE YOUR POWERS TO ENTER SOMEONE'S HOUSE DEAR---

Alright, that went.... Alright I guess... Hhh...

10) Nancy, Jonathan and Murray

Murray is such an interesting character, I really liked this part.

Also, completely destroying his evidences was such a Nancy thing to do lol--

11) Max and Lucas

(Hell yeah, fuck Billy. Anyway.)

Alright, I really love lumax, and I know that it wouldn't have happened if this scene didn't, but I still think it was a bad decision to tell Max what happened.

I know she "accepted the risk", but she wasn't taking it seriously and that was pretty dumb (but completely understandable) of her.

Now, let's go Lucas. Put your future girlfriend in the secret!

12) Will, Mike, Joyce, and Bob

Wow, Bob is actually really, really smart. I forgot about that too.

(Also, I really love how Mike and Will are always next to each other. That's cute. ^^)

13) Hopper

Okay, first of all, ew.

And then, good job Jim!! You found an exit! :D

14) Dustin (+Erica)

I mean, at least the cat got a proper grave.

Ooohhhh,, right. He cleaned the blood. Must be slightly traumatic.

Like I said before, I love Erica and her sassy attitude, but right now it's not playing for her side. Not cool Erica.

15) Eleven and Becky (+Mama) (forgot her name)

I really love how understanding Becky is there. She's trying to stay calm and find aweser, without pushing El to get them. It's nice.

And I forgot that her mom also had some kind of powers, that's pretty cool!

16) Will, Mike, Joyce, and Bob

He's really, really smart. That's cool.

Poor dude must be so confused thought--

17) Dustin and Steve at the Wheeler's

Damn, two hours is fucking long--

Anyway.

Ted is pretty fucking useless, you're right Dustin. I like how it's really clear that Dustin has no respect at all for Ted, I mean he's swearing without even thinking twice about it! Really shows how passive Ted is in everyone's lives.

Steve coming to give Nancy flowers and "apologize"... My boy stop lying to yourself, you know this relationship is already fucked.

Anyway.

It's funny how Dustin orders him around and he doesn't even blinks lol

18) Hopper

Yep, the spores are getting to him again.

And the vines, apparently. Rest in pieces my dude. (Sorry)

19) Lucas and Max (+Billy)

I mean, of course she's not going to immediately believe you, who would! I mean, at least she has some doubts.

Alright, fuck Billy again, in a non sexy way, can't wait to see him die. (/hj)

20) Nancy, Jonathan, and Murray

Murray thinking with alcohol and music is so funny to me.

Also, he's so right about the counter thing.

Anyway.

That scene is so badass. ✨

21) The Lab

Welp, that's weird as fuck.

22) Eleven, Becky, and Mama

Well, that for sure was intense. Also made me really uneasy, but it was pretty interesting.

Guess we know why "rainbows" now.

Also, tinny eight (I forgot the name she chose), if it is actually her, is so adorable. :)

23) Will, Mike, Joyce, Bob, Hopper, and Hawkins Lab

Poor Bob is confused as hell.

The way Joyce is immediately clinging to Hopper to make sure he's okay makes me kinda sad for Bob, but I guess we know why.

(Also, Jim almost forgetting his hat and going back to take it was so funny to me lol)

Alright now, Will.

Nothing much to say here, but HOLY HELL WHAT THE FUCK MY POOR BOY IS HAVING A SEIZURE!!!! DO SOMETHING PEOPLE??

— End note

Welp, that episode was something! I'll watch the next one in a bit.

[i-promise-i-am-not-on-drugs]

This is completely true!!

But as a committed Mike defender I feel the need to help my boy out a bit:

Like op said, Lucas was one of the first to bring up the possibility of Mike liking El because she's not "grossed out" by him. He also very heavily bothered Mike earlier about him having a crush on El, because he kept looking after her and checking if she was okay. (Which is a really normal thing to do when you find a random traumatized kid in the woods and have a protector complex like Mike does tbh) Mike's aweser to Lucas's theory was a face of pure confusion.

Later, Nancy asked Mike if he liked El, not too long after his and Lucas's argument about El (if I remember well), to which Mike answered with a still confused, but way more defensive reaction.

Mike is very easily influenced by the people he love, trust, and look up too, in this case Lucas and Nancy. (Another unrelated exemple: Eddie. We can clearly see in the beginning of st4 how much Eddie influenced Mike's style, for example.)

I believe that he only started to see El in a different way after those talks about his supposed crush on El, because he was influenced by Lucas and Nancy's opinion. They thought Mike was in love with El because he was being productive of her, and Mike, trusting their judgement, followed what they said.

I am obviously not trying to denies that he did pretty much take advantage of El. Because he did, and I'm honestly really disappointed about that. But I don't think he did it on purpose, or even consciously.

Alright, I'm done! Sorry for rambling lol, I just felt the need to share my thoughts! :)

(Also, I am NOT trying to put the blame on Lucas and Nancy for Mike's actions!! It's absolutely not their fault that Mike is easily influenced, and from their point of view they had the right to think that he had a crush on El. )

say what you will, I think that mike lowkey took advantage of el. I love mike with all my heart so I'm not like 💩 on him, I just think he kind of forced el into the relationship. this is bc in that scene in s1 where mike kisses her, she was confused as to why he couldn't be like her brother and why it was "different" but once mike kissed her, she was probably thinking that was what's supposed to happen bc she literally doesn't know anything about the real world outside of the lab. I don't think that el liked mike as more than a friend until he kissed her making her think that her appreciation (for taking her in and helping her get away from the bad men essentially), was a feeling of like. I also don't think that mike ever really liked el as more than a friend either. I think that he liked the fact that she had powers, thought she was cool, and mistaked his admiration for like. Like Lucas said, mike was basically blinded by the fact that a girl is not grossed out by him so he takes this opportunity to kiss her and make their relationship something it's not. even after the kiss, el looks kind of scared and she smiles slightly (probably to make sure that mike doesn't feel bad), but she doesn't really seem happy about it. Idk. if mike would have never kissed her, they would have just been really close besties 🤷🏽‍♀️ even in s3 we can tell that el still doesn't know who she is bc she doesn't have her own style and she's never even been shopping for clothes before. do what you want with this information but I feel like this is why mileven is toxic and they need to break up bc el still needs to figure out who she truly is before she is in a relationship.
