He's someone who most the characters just sort of tolerate, and who nobody will need to mourn at length. Otherwise I don't see any deaths on the horizon.I think killing Hopper in the finale would have actually made sense simply because he seems like a person incapable of enjoying a happily ever after and for whom a heroic sacrifice is the best end he's likely to come to. But they just had Eleven give him a talking to about him planning to die, so I don't think it'll happen.Everyone's going to the waterfall place except the villains</blockquote>
