Stranger Things: 20 Best Moments
19. Alexei’s Death (S3 E7: The Bite)
The loveable fan favourite, Russian scientist Alexei, meets a tragic end at the hands of a Terminator inspired muscle-man.
From having a specific preference for slushie flavours, to laughing at cartoons in the morning, Alexei was the very embodiment of enjoying the little things in life.
Unfortunately, the Russians are not so forgiving when it comes to deserters and the scientist is dispatched in a shocking turn of events. What makes this moment all the more devastating is that Alexei was displaying such childlike joy at experiencing an American funfair for the first time and it certainly feels like a big loss to the characters and the fans when he is abruptly killed off.
