7. Is Hopper In Serious Trouble?

Things aren't looking too good for Detective Jim Hopper in this teaser, with the adult hero of the first season shown in a couple of flashes to be in a spot of trouble.

Firstly, there's the shot above, which sees the detective seemingly getting caught in a small explosion. Later on, we see him doing what appears to be a spot of grave-digging, in what looks like it'll be an emotionally charged scene.

The latter could well be related to his daughter, with her death teased as something we'll go into more this year. The former is less clear, but we know Hopper likes to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, so it could be a result of that.

All told, things don't really seem to be going well for him, which tallies up with the idea that he may well die in Season 2.
