The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things writers have begun sharing storylines that didn't make the𓆏 cut from previous seasons &nda꧑sh; and the first one is absolutely bonkers.

"Crazy shit that almost happened #1: In Season ꧒2, a possessed Will was going to kill Bob," the show's official writers' room account.

In season 2, Joyce begins dat🐲ing Robert "Bob" Newby (Sean Astin), 🐬the manager of the Hawkins Radio Shack. Bob ultimately uses his computer skills to turn off the security system at Hawkins National Laboratory, successfully freeing the Byers and the others. Unfortunately, Bob meets his end by getting attacked by a Demogorgon – right in front of Joyce.

After Will begins experiencing epi🦩sodes that he and the others assume are just part of Post Traumatic Stress, it's Bob who encourages Will to confront his trauma and stand up to his fears. But when Will comes face-to-facꦬe with the Mind Flayer, it possesses him. It's the Mind Flayer, through Will, that nearly leads Joyce and co. to their Demogorgon-related laboratory death. 

Though it would've been gutwrenching and could've potentially changed his character arc forever, Possessed Will killing Bob would've ma💮de quite a bit of sense – especially considering the fact that it's Bob's 'fault' that Wil🔯l's body was overtaken by the Mind Flayer in the first place. Luckily, the gang is able to use fire to essentially sweat the monster out of him before anything worse happens. Sweet Bob, however, will live on in our hearts.
