He was indeed a smart and brave superhero, but why didn’t you keep running Bob?! Yeah, his death led to the rise of Jopper but Bob would have been awesome in this recent season. His death by Demodog was a terribly shocking moment that still causes us great pain. Joyce’s boyfriend helped to decode the mystery behind the Mind Flayer map and sacrificed himself to turn on power to save his lady, Will, Mike, and Hopper.īob’s only fault was taking a long pause in the middle of imminent danger to gaze into Joyce’s eyes. Stranger Things 2 continued the fateful “B” name trend with good old Bob Newby, a Radio Shack manager, everyday superhero, and lovable geek.

The Department of Energy told a believable lie about her death and paid her parents, but Barb’s death is still pretty sad. Barb was shrugged off by pretty much everyone except Nancy, Jonathan, and her parents as the search focused on Will Byers. Then she was peer-pressured into shotgunning a beer, which led to her hand being cut and her eventual death. Barb didn’t want to go to Steve’s stupid party at his house near creepy woods but she did her wing-woman duty. Teller rises far above his character’s clichéd potential. They nail the brotherhood of the modern firefighter, the teasing and togetherness few jobs can match. We lost her just as we were getting to know her outside of being Nancy’s relatable and wise friend. Credit the tight cast, including Jeff Bridges, James Badge Dale and Taylor Kitsch. Of course, no one will ever forget Barb Holland.
