This article contains major spoilers forStranger Things 3.
This is not a show that often equates disappearance with shuffling off this mortal coil.
One goes to a door and is scolded, No.
(And it should be noted thatDavid Harbour himselfhas his doubts).
Could Matthew Modines creepy doc be the man stuck in Russia?
Or could it even be Brett Gelmans Murray?
Or, heres a wild theory to blow your mind: What if its somehow Barb?!?!
What are the Russians doing with the Demogorgon and how did they get it?
Speaking of that credits scene, what the hell is going on in that sequence?
In the frozen tundra of Russia, soldiers are treating a Demogorgon like Jabba the Hutt treats his Rancor.
And where did it come from?
The really interesting possibility that this opens up is that there could be a gate somewhere other than Hawkins.
Its hard to believe the Russians transported a Demogorgon from Indiana all the way to Russia, isnt it?
After the death of Hopper, its hard to blame the Byers family for finally leaving Hawkins.
So where will Joyce and the kids go?
Will Eleven get her powers back?
The action ofStranger Things 3left Eleven in an unfamiliar state: powerless.
Mike seems confident that his girlfriends superpowers will return, but how and when?
And what if they dont?
Exactly how and when to turn Elevens abilities back on could define the arc ofStranger Things 4.
Is Dr. Owens going to return, or was his season-finale cameo it?
One of the biggest shocks ofStranger Things 3was seeing Dr. Sam Owens return to Hawkins in the season finale.
Was it just a fun little cameo for Paul Reiser, or is there something more to it?
Why would Dr. Owens be the head of the group that comes in to clean up?
And what does that look on his face mean when he sees the gate?
Theres something going on in that long shot of his sunken face could it possibly be disappointment?
Or fear from the knowledge that this is all far from over?
Did he know what was happening under Starcourt Mall?
And could he be a part of the action in season four?
Is there more for Mayor Kline to do?
And the Duffers love to bring back their guest stars, including Reiser, Modine, and Gelman.
Chances are good well probably see Larry at least one more time.
Who will be the next 80s guest star?
Matthew Modine, Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Cary Elwes whos next?
Heres a thought: How about a woman?
The Duffers have nodded to the movies of John Hughes a few times.
How about Molly Ringwald or Ally Sheedy?
Or what about another star of films referenced by the Duffers a few times this season: Linda Hamilton?
Too badGLOWalready claimed Geena Davis, although she could easily do double duty on Netflix 80s hits.
In what year will it take place, and what movies will it reference?
However, a better question may be whether the Duffers will stick to a one year later format?
CouldStranger Things 4take place in 1987, 1988, or even the 90s?
Were not ready for 90sStranger Things.
At least not yet.
