I watched all 8 episodes. Not sure what was happening.

How did the scientist (Modine) get the baby, and was she really alive or did he use her body as a recepticle for El? That whole story line needs more info!

When El claims she is the monster, does she mean it metaphorically, because she touched it and thus gave it entrance to this world? Or, was she of the same substance as the monster, but took residence in the little girl's body?

Why the harsh reaction to her hair for goddsake. So what, she has short hair, so frikken what???

I detected several things that didn't seem consistent with 1983. For example, a land line for $23? I seem to recall phones being waaaaaaaay expensive back then. And there was a time when you couldn't even buy a phone, they all belonged to the phone companies. When that finally ended, I think phones were kinda expensive.

When they were trying to lure the monster with blood, did they not notice that Steve's face was covered in blood? Why didn't the monster just take him?

Didn't the other two boys have family? All this stuff going down in their town, and they just keep hanging out with Mike, at the hospital, whatever. Where the hell were the other parents?

I didn't see what all the fuss was about.

PS: Oh, and will people never ever learn that if you are going to cut yourself for either a blood oath or whatever, why the HELL would you cut your hand or fingers, you know, the things that you use all the time and will notice the pain constantly?? I never understand that. Cut your calf or forearm or scalp or something, but not the hand!
