What is this "fly" episode you're all talking about. I can't seen any episode called "fly" or "the fly".

EDIT: Found the whole quote

Our test of the episode was we tried to pull it out of the show just to make sure that we needed it because I didn’t want it in there as filler — even though some critics are accusing us of doing that. But Eleven’s journey kind of fell apart, like the ending didn’t work, without it. So I was like, whether this works or not, we need this building block in here or the whole show is going to collapse. It’s not going to end well. The Mind Flayer is going to take over Hawkins.

Yeah, no.

Yeah, no.

Eleven needed a character arc, otherwise what? She goes to visit her mum then comes back and saves the day with her magic powers. Episode seven gives her an arc (she interacts with the wider world and realises her power but wants to put it to good use). It's clunky and sticks out like a sore thumb as its own episode rather than a second-string story, but storywise yes it does make the ending work better.

On their first morning together, Kali urges El to “find that anger. Focus on that. Not the train, not its weight. I want you to find something from your life. Something that angers you.” I’ve found my anger. I’ve focused it. And even the power of my anger at this wasted opportunity of an episode and its vaguely insulting way of portraying chosen family couldn’t drag the derelict train car that is “The Lost Sister” more than few feet. Certainly not all the way from Hawkins to Chicago and back

So, Jonathan, how was the pull-out?

One question I have:

At the beginning of the first episode when Will is on his way home there's a man/apparition in the road that causes him to fall of his bike, and this figure slowly follows him home and through his house - is that the demogorgon? It looked way more human than the monster but it didn't get another mention so I'm guessing I'm mis-remembering?

As everyone has said episode 7 sticks out, badly. The only thing I liked about it was it had music from Escape from New York in it.

The other thing I really disliked was dart in the final episode. strawberry float off dustin I wish it had stayed in character and eaten you

strawberry float you for hating on Dustin
